Donald Trump's First Tweets As U.S. President Are Here
Trump does not seem to want to let go of his personal account.
Trump was sworn in as US president today, and received the keys to the presidential Twitter accounts. But instead of tweeting from the official accounts, Trump has chosen to keep on posting to his personal account, @realDonaldTrump:
Given that Trump had to relinquish his personal smartphone in the interest of national security before he was sworn in, it’s an impressive amount of tweeting, especially while the man was still standing on the steps of the Capitol building for most of the time.
Whether Trump will continue his badgering of companies and celebrities from his personal account and perhaps tweet in a more official capacity from the @POTUS account remains to be seen, but national security advisers have suggested that it would be safest if Trump and his staff did not tweet—or do anything internet-related—from any consumer phones while in office.
