Kellyanne Conway: Trump 'needs to tweet like we need to eat'

[demmiblue]

White House counselor Kellyanne Conway defended President Trump’s Twitter habits in an interview with The New York Times for the newspaper’s analysis of the president’s more than 11,000 tweets.

“He needs to tweet like we need to eat,” Conway told The Times.

The newspaper analyzed the 11,390 presidential tweets and found that in more than half, Trump used the platform to attack someone or something, according to The Times story published Saturday.

Trump has attacked at least 630 people and things in 5,889 tweets since taking office, according to The Times.

Other tweets were used to promote conspiracy theories, including 40 tweets about voter fraud and a “rigged” electoral system.

White House officials early on in Trump’s presidency discussed a possibility of a 15-minute delay on Trump’s account, but the president worried it would make his tweets irrelevant, The Times reports, citing a former White House official.

6. That's a disease.

7. He tweets shit, I don't eat that

Twitter was made for that moron and all his minions, because it's short enough to match their attention spans.

I find Twitter to be the internet equivalent of a restroom wall.

10. This is one instance where I agree with her.

Dolt 45's need for attention dominates his life, and he wants it to dominate everyone else's. What a sad, pathetic little man he is.

They get bigger each time she lies. :p

17. Apparently, Trump also needs to EAT like he tweets.

His eats/tweets have much in common: unnecessarily frequent, devoid of genuine nutrients, unhealthy to consume.
