Trump is the type of person who uses social media to say the first thing that comes to his mind without thinking of any consequence or harm is going to do to other people's. Trump only tweets to make people react a certain way. He is taking over the world one post at a time. Trump uses Twitter as weapon to distract the world of what's really happening, or distract them from what he have done or what he wants to bury deep down. Donald Trump tweets without any filters. He uses twitter to tweet about his thoughts and opinions he haves of people, he tweets away without a care in the world. He tweets away like nobody is checking over his accounts.

Now, mostly all presidential candidates use at least one social media
In the current time, it seems like one cannot go a day without using at least one social media website. This might be especially true among groups of teenagers and young adults. Social media became a vital part of daily life that feeds people with several types of information constantly. Political news is a type of information that can reach the people through the means of social media. Since presidents are constantly seeking new strategies to increase their communication with the public in order to spread their political message, they utilize the different social media websites. Hence, social media became a platform to spread political message. It is not surprising that now the majority of political officials and candidates have social media accounts more than ever before, such as a Twitter account.
It is no secret the President is familiar and very fond of the social media page, twitter.

President Donald Trump, has been likely to take his opinions to his twitter feed which has caused many problems in Washington. Maggie Harberman (New York Times), a guest on the roundtable, explained, “[President Trump] is used to being able to use his twitter feed to change the story, push people somewhere else, but it’s not working (Harberman 2017).” An example is President Trump first tweet, “Terrible!

The product, his persona and promises, fulfills their unconscious desires. Bernay’s say the newspaper was the primary form of media to achieve this form of subliminal advertising because it is a source trusted by many, and is trusted more than other forms of media. He believes news should, and could, present the public with versions of events that guide their choices and speak to their desires (Eudaimonia). Instead of the newspaper, Donald Trump utilizes Twitter for these purposes, and it is a way to produce his content widespread without spending a lot of money. He has 15.6 million followers. He can send information in real time and has complete control of his message, as opposed to the ideas published in newspapers. For example, he tweeted about Hillary Clinton’s health repeatedly claiming she lacked stamina and was unfit for office. Some example tweets are, “Hillary Clinton is weak and ineffective- no strength, no stamina”, “Hillary Clinton is taking the day off again, she needs the rest…” (Eudaimonia). He appeals to the stereotype that women are weak and supports his political campaign with these wide spread post-truths, or “…circumstances in which objective facts are less influential in shaping public opinion than appeals to emotion and personal
Since these issues have caused negative diversity, social network accounts like Twitter has put up a campaign to stop the abuse of free speech that is spoken or written on social networks. In the article of Fox 12 Oregon, Twitter states that “The company said Tuesday that it has begun identifying people who have been banned for abusive behavior and it will stop them from creating new accounts” (Ortutay). The purpose to create the new idea is to keep a safe environment for Twitter is to minimize all the social negative abuse that goes on the internet to the real world. Like it says in the reading, “being able to connect with anyone in the world who has similar interests may mean that one’s own community becomes less important” (Giddens el al. 2017: 198). The quote answers the question of growing existing inequalities, the more the hatred on social networks, the more it goes viral
In the presidential election of 2016, one of the factors the candidates running for office used in their campaign was social media. Social media has rose as a new campaign tool. The candidates of the 2016 presidential election, Hillary Clinton, Bernie Sanders and Donald Trump used social media as a means of connecting with voters. In 2016, 44% of U.S. adults reported learning about the 2016 presidential election in the past week from social media.(Pew Research Center) People also reported viewing both Donald, Bernie and Hillary’s posts on social media for new election information and news.
Media has always been playing a great role in political campaign. Many believe that one of the most important reason that Barack Obama won in the 2008 presidential election because he was able to capitalize on the social media and influenced people more than other candidate. He was able to reach out to people quicker and easily because of the fastest growing social media. Same thing is true for this year’s presidential campaign so far. Whoever can make the most out of social media is more likely to win the election.
