'The Tweeting Gets You in Trouble': Trump Says He Prefers His 'Elegant' Press Releases to Twitter

Donald Trump claimed on Monday night that he actually likes his press releases better than tweeting and that Twitter actually did him a favor.

Trump, of course, was very active on Twitter for years, especially during his presidency, until he was permanently suspended mere days following the riots at the Capitol after he pushed multiple baseless claims about the 2020 election. Trump gave an interview to Newsmax on Monday and Greg Kelly asked him about what one of his spokespeople hinted at about his return to social media.

The former president brought up his press releases — one recent statement continued pushing his baseless 2020 election claims — and said, “Frankly they’re more elegant than tweeting, as the expression goes. They’re really much more elegant. And the word is getting out.”

He boasted about the amount of attention he gets for those press releases, before adding, “The tweeting gets you in trouble.”

1. Yep, bully's care about "trouble" when consequences are imposed on them. If no one imposes ...

... consequences they don't give a damn.

Throw the book at Putin's Whore, let him sort shit out

2. Except the media is not obligated to publish nor even discuss his press releases, (nor should they)

So, he's really not going to like the attention he ultimately will get for them once his schtick becomes not at all newsworthy.

3. Never heard of him.

4. Note to Jerk: It ain't the tweeting, IT'S *YOU*!

6. Not having Twitter is literally killing him

He cannot stand being deprived of the attention that his endless Tweeting got him.

And he knows his political career is over without Twitter or something like it.

7. OK, so no more bitching about cancel culture and big tech censoring

[NCDem47]

8. Riiiiiight.

Now that he’s been thrown off of Twitter, acts like he’s better off without it. He’d go back in a New York minute if he could.

[soothsayer]

9. So what's with the big lie about starting its own channel?

You know, in two weeks

10. With Donny it's all about forced elegance, when there are no other options

Elegance is not something that comes naturally to Fat Donny. He'd put ketchup on his press releases if he could.

11. Nothing

This lying grifting assholes says or does is elegant.

[IcyPeas]

12. elegant? what's his definition of elegant?

[Vinca]

13. His "elegant" press releases are like 5th grade writing assignments badly done.

[gratuitous]

14. Anything you say, Needy Amin

Does that mean you're going to quit griping about being banned from Twitter?

[demtenjeep]

15. people need to ignore the fucker

nothing he puts out is news worthy
