- US President Donald Trump has revealed details about his tweeting process, and disclosed why he tweets so often

- He stated that he tweets in bed, at breakfast or lunch, and that he does it to counter what he described as ‘fake news’

- Since his swearing-in, Trump has maintained both his official and private Twitter accounts and says he wouldn’t be able to defend himself otherwise

President Donald Trump has said he sometimes posts on Twitter while in bed, defending his use of the social networking tool as necessary amid “a lot of fake news” about him, NAN reports.

NAIJ.com gathers that the New York Times had previously revealed that Mr Trump tweets from bed, and this is the first time the president admitted the allegation.

“Well, perhaps sometimes in bed, perhaps sometimes at breakfast or lunch or whatever,” Mr Trump said, when asked by British journalist Piers Morgan about his tweeting habits in an interview aired on the British ITV channel.

“Generally speaking during the early morning, or during the evening, I can do whatever, but I am very busy during the day, very long hours. I am busy,” he told Mr Morgan.

Mr Trump uses Twitter so frequently that the contents of his tweets range from serious policy decisions to hostile war of words against nations or leaders he denigrates.

The outspoken president’s frivolousness in both topic choices and wording styles has raised concern over his personal integrity as well as fitness for presidency.

“If I don’t have that form of communication I can’t defend myself,” Mr Trump said.

“I get a lot of fake news, a lot of news that is very false or made up.”

Following his swearing-in as president in January 2017, Mr Trump was advised to abandon his personal @realdonaldtrump Twitter account and inherit the official @POTUS account from his predecessor Barack Obama, but he insisted on keeping both.

Mr Trump said he usually tweets himself but often lets other people write down what he says as well.

“I will sometimes just dictate out something really quickly and give it to one of my people to put it on,” he said, describing the situation where people around the world wait to read his tweets as crazy.

Some 47.2 million Twitter users are following Mr. Trump’s personal account, which is more than twice the number of followers enjoyed by the official account.

Meanwhile, NAIJ.com previously reported that as outrage and anger continued to trail the reported ‘shithole’ remarks by US President Donald Trump, the Organisation for the Advancement of Nigerians (OAN) lent its voice to correct his wrong perception about Nigerians in the US.

The group joined other African groups and individuals to denounce the recent disparaging statements and pronouncements attributed to Trump about Africa, El Salvador and Haiti.

Trump reportedly referred to African nations and others as ‘shithole’ countries, during his meeting with members of the Senate at the White House.
