Donald Trump's use of social media has attracted worldwide attention. He frequently uses Twitter and other social media platforms to make comments about other politicians, celebrities, private citizens and daily news. From his official declaration of candidacy in June 2015 through the first two-and-a-half years of his presidency, he tweeted over 17,000 times. Since early in his presidency, his tweets have been considered official statements by the president of the United States.[2]

He often posts controversial or false statements.[3][4][5][6] An investigation by The New York Times published November 2, 2019 found that, during his time in office, Trump "retweeted 217 accounts that have not been verified by Twitter," at least 145 of which "have pushed conspiracy or fringe content, including more than two dozen that have since been suspended by Twitter."[7]
On July 16, 2019, the House of Representatives voted to censure him for "racist comments" he had tweeted two days previously. Only 4 Republicans supported the measure, while 187 voted against it.[8]
His advisors have warned him that his tweets may alienate some of his supporters.[9] In a June 2017 Fox News poll, 70 percent of respondents said Trump's tweets were hurting his agenda.[10][11] In a January 2019 UMass Lowell poll, 68 percent of all respondents aged 18–37 said Trump tweets too much.[12]
