Twitter made me President: Trump

“Well, let me tell you about Twitter. I think that maybe I wouldn’t be here if it wasn’t for Twitter because I get such a fake press, such a dishonest press,” Trump said. As Trump explained, he uses his social media platforms to create his “own form of media.” Elaborating further, he said, “When I can reach, whether it’s 90 million or 100 million or 80 million, however many people it may turn out to be, when you add everything up — and then of course it gets disseminated from there — when I can reach that many people, Twitter is a wonderful thing for me, because I get the word out.”

Trump has vowed to fight a federal court ruling halting his revised temporary ban of refugees and nationals from six Muslim-majority countries, describing the decision as “judicial overreach.” Elaborating further, he said, “The law in the constitution gave the president the power to suspend immigration when he deems it to be in the national interest of our country,” he said at a rally in Nashville, Tennessee, following the decision by the Hawaii court. He told the cheering crowd that his administration would “take our case as far as it needs to go, including all the way up to the Supreme Court. We are going to win.”
