President-elect Donald Trump has repeatedly issued announcements and proposals over Twitter, both during the presidential election and the transition period. Trump has made a habit of issuing 140-character statements, often late at night, that can drive the national conversation.
Incoming White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer has promised that the tweets will continue. “He has this direct pipeline to the American people, where he can talk back and forth,” Spicer recently explained to WPRI, adding that Twitter allows him to “put his thoughts out and hear what they’re thinking in a way that no one’s ever been able to do before.”
