Maybe an endorsement from Donald Trump will help.
During the second presidential debate Sunday night, moderator Anderson Cooper asked Trump if he had the self-control necessary to inhabit the White House.
Cooper was particularly interested in the early morning tweetstorm Trump launched last month: “Is that the discipline of a good leader?”
You bet it is, said Trump. Then, after denying he told Twitter followers to “check out” Alicia Michado’s “sex tape” — which he did — and attacking Clinton over Benghazi, Trump got back to the virtues of Twitter.
Here’s his full statement. See if this helps, Jack Dorsey:
“Tweeting happens to be a modern-day form of communication. I mean, you can like it or not like it. I have, between Facebook and Twitter, I have almost 25 million people. It’s a very effective way of communication. So you can put it down, but it is a very effective form of communication. I’m not unproud of it, to be honest with you.”
