Pretty pathetic, but hey at least he was honest.

In other words, he's a c*nt

Gingrich pretty much went ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I thought the secret service was forcing Trump to hand over his personal twitter account at some point?

I'm pretty sure that even the secret service wants to laugh some more at Trump's tweets tbh.

I think that happens when he becomes officially sworn in as President IIRC.

Either way, I'd be very surprised if his twitter stayed exactly the same post-inauguration.

Obama was allowed to create the @potus Twitter though, which has tweets written solely by him. It was going to be handed over to Hillary, not sure if the same would happen with Trump.

There is also the consideration of whether handing over your Twitter account to the secret service is actual law, or if it is just a practice that is treated like law but has no actual legal backing. I don't know the answer to this. Trump has suggested that some long-standing traditions that have no actual legal basis, like the NYT always getting a front row seat at press briefings, will be gone under his rule.

Trump tweets might be his downfall in 2020

Trump tweets might be his downfall in 2020

I think that if he makes it to 2020 (unlikely) the election will be rigged to a fare-thee-well.

The U.S. Consumer Confidence Index for December surged nearly four points to 113.7, THE HIGHEST LEVEL IN MORE THAN 15 YEARS! Thanks Donald!


This is one of the greatest moments in Twitter history. It's true. When he got elected, I stopped hoarding all my money and began spending like cray cray! Manicures galore! Premium hairstylists! The best restaurants outside of Trump Tower!

It's not as if the Secret Service will seize his Twitter account, but they will require him to use a secure device and tweeting would be a huge no no. He could do it anyway, but it would open up the device to possible hackers and that of course would be dangerous to national security.

Are you tired of winning yet?

I knew America would be fixed, but I didn't know it would be so soon! Now if only Rosie would've kept her promise to us, I'd be completely satisfied! But she's a liar, and we know that, everybody knows that because she had a failing show and a failing magazine that no one wanted to read.

If he follows a bunch of links (which he clearly likes doing) there's a risk of that. But just tweeting should be fine.
