Donald Trump to keep on tweeting after he takes office ‘to counteract dishonest media’

President-elect Donald Trump has said there will be no let-up in his tweeting after he takes office.

Mr Trump said that he will keep making his opinions known in the 140-character tweets that have become so familiar to his Twitter followers, especially early in the morning.

In an interview on Wednesday, the president-elect said he does not really like tweeting, adding: “I have other things I could be doing.”

But Mr Trump said he turns to social media because “I get very dishonest media, very dishonest press”, adding: “It’s my only way that I can counteract.”
