The Necessity of Donald Trump’s Twitter Account

Few presidents have been as widely spoken about as 45th President of the United States, Donald Trump, particularly when it comes to his use of Twitter.

President Barack Obama made history when he capitalized on emergent social media platforms and became the first president to have a Twitter account. To many, Obama’s use of twitter symbolized a potential shift in how politics and presidencies may be carried out in future, using newer technologies.

Though while the 44th president amassed a large following, Obama’s twitter ended up being used primarily by campaign staff and less often by the president himself during his presidency.

By comparison, Donald Trump has been magnitudes more vocal and vociferous than his predecessor during his presidency, with his tweets often becoming the centrepiece for entire news days.

Even apparent typos such as when Trump tweeted the still unknown word “Covfefe,” a moment which was talked about among all the late-night hosts, covered by all major media players, and retweeted over 100,000 times.

Never before has there been such a constant stream of insight into the mind of the Commander in Chief of the United States of America, though is this a good thing?
