President Donald Trump is defending his frequent — and often incendiary — use of Twitter by saying that the social media platform lets him bypass the “dishonest” press.

“Maybe I would not be here if it wasn’t for Twitter,” Trump said in an interview with Fox News late Wednesday.

“I get such a fake and dishonest press,” he said, singling out the CNN news channel and the three main US networks — ABC, CBS and NBC.

But Trump said he was “not including Fox because I think Fox has been fair to me.”

Much of the press “is not honest… I have close to 100 million people watching me on Twitter, including Facebook and Instagram,” he said.

1. And Putin's army of bots and trolls on Twitter and Facebook

4. I really would be curious to know how many of the 60,000 likes and retweets he gets...

Are from automated bot accounts? I wouldn't be surprised in the least if Trump lies about that since he lies about everything.

2. So can we sue Twitter then?

Seems only fair.

3. I'd love to see him banned from Twitter
