#NewTrumpTwitterBio is just the latest Trump-related Twitter trend. Twitter has been Mr. Trump’s voice throughout the both the Presidential election and his Presidency — his preferred method of communication with the public as evidenced by the almost 500 tweets posted on his personal account during the first 100 days of Mr. Trump’s Presidency. As Bournemouth University’s political communications professor Dr. Darren Lilleker told The Independent, “Previous presidents would perhaps go to a press briefing, make a serious, measured statement – with Trump it’s 140 characters and that’s it.”
His tweets have instigated fierce action on Twitter from society with the introduction of tags such as #TrumpIsAMoron, #TrumpRussia, and #trumpregret. This week’s trending Trump tag continues to build up the social media fervor that has consumed the public since the beginning of the presidential race.
Just this week, the Twitter community was treated with more of the President’s views on Obamacare and his accusations of “Fake News” after NBC reported “Tillerson’s Fury at Trump Required an Intervention From Pence”, amid dozens of Mr. Trump’s tweets.
The @NBCNews story has just been totally refuted by Sec. Tillerson and @VP Pence. It is #FakeNews. They should issue an apology to AMERICA!

I conspired with Russia and I obstructed justice to cover it up. My voters are too dumb to realize it and the GOP won’t impeach me b/c they helped me do it. #NewTrumpTwitterBio
