In a post-factual presidency, Trump can play both victor and victim



This article talks about Donald Trumps social media appeal, and his excessive use of twitter. The article goes on to question whether it is damaging or not and whether it is right that the next commander in chief  would be making such disrespectful comments regarding many different people including Miss Streep and various other celebrities and reporters. The article also suggests that the media specifically traditional media has grown as a result of being able to broadcast on Donald Trump.

Considering Trump has received over $200million in free media twitter and other social medias have allowed trump to gain attention by posting...nonsense. During the campaign fake news was largely in Trumps favour and some would argue it helped him to win the election but now it may not be in his favour.
