During an interview earlier this week on Fox News, Trump said he doesn’t like tweeting. But he noted he needs to use the platform to counteract the press.
“I get very dishonest media, very dishonest press. And it’s my only way that I can counteract,” he said. “When people make misstatements about me, I’m able to say it and call it out.”
