President Trump on why he won& #39;t delete his Twitter account:

"The news is fake. If you look at what gets printed in newspapers. If only the public could understand where, you know they& #39;re reading a story and they think it& #39;s real, and it& #39;s not real in so many cases." 1/6
"And I& #39;m not saying in every case, you have some great journalists, you have some journalists I have great respect for, but largely I find at least in a political sense there& #39;s so much fake news it& #39;s disgraceful." 2/6
"I would do that in a heartbeat if I had fair, if we had a fair press in this country I would do that in a heartbeat. There& #39;s nothing I& #39;d rather do than get rid of my whole Twitter account." 3/6
But I& #39;m able to get to, I guess, 186 million people when you add up all the different accounts, add Facebook and Instagram, it& #39;s a lot of people, and that& #39;s more than the media companies have frankly, by a lot." 4/6
"And so if I get a story that& #39;s wrong I can put a social media, I don& #39;t usually use the word Twitter I say social media, but I put something out and the next day or the next hour or the next minute everybody& #39;s reading about it." 5/6
"So I& #39;m able to refute fake news and that& #39;s very important." 6/6
