Ex-CIA chief warns Trump to beware of tweeting after Inauguration Day

When he officially takes office next week, Donald Trump should really think twice about tweeting, James Woolsey, ex-CIA chief and former senior advisor to the president-elect, told CNBC on Monday.

Trump should re-evaluate his use of Twitter (TWTR) with "fresh eyes" after the inauguration, because "governing in 140 character transmissions is a lot harder," Woolsey said on "Squawk Box."

Without elaborating, Woosley argued there could be some circumstances in which Twitter would be effective for Trump as president.

The Constitution has survived many tests, but figuring out how to deal with Twitter is a "whole new ballgame," he said. To ensure security, it's going to take "creativity" to manage a tweeting president, he said.

And if he gets his Twitter account hacked, it will be just as bad or worse than HRC's server scandal.
