US President-elect, Donald Trump will keep posting from his @realDonaldTrump Twitter account after he moves into the White House on Friday.


The President-elect, who no doubt loves social media and used it profitably during and after election, will not be taking up the option of switching to #POTUS which currently has six million fewer followers.

Confirming that he would keep the account, he talked about how much he enjoys having direct access to his followers - and making waves with his uncompromising pronouncements, especially correcting the ‘dishonest’ media.

In an interview for The Times, with Michael Gove, Trump was asked about his plans for his Twitter feed. 

He replied that he had 46 million followers on social media and wanted to keep it up. He said: 'I thought I’d do less of it, but I’m covered so dishonestly by the press - so dishonestly - that I can put out Twitter - and it’s not 140, it’s now 280 - I can go bing bing bing.... and they put it on and as soon as I tweet it out - this morning on television, Fox - "Donald Trump, we have breaking news".'
