I might not be here 'if it wasn't for Twitter': Trump
US president Donald Trump is safeguarding his incessant - and regularly combustible - utilization of Twitter by saying that the web-based social networking stage gives him a chance to sidestep the "exploitative" press.
"Possibly I would not be here if not for Twitter," Trump said in a meeting with Fox News late Wednesday.
"I get such a fake and deceptive press," he stated, singling out the CNN news channel and the three principle US systems - ABC, CBS and NBC.
However, Trump said he was "excluding Fox since I think Fox has been reasonable for me."
A significant part of the press "is not legitimate... I have near 100 million people watching me on Twitter, including Facebook and Instagram," he said.
"I have my own particular type of media."
The @realDonaldTrump account on Twitter has a little more than 26 million supporters.
"When I say things, the press does not cover me precisely," Trump stated, while underscoring that "Twitter is a great thing for me."
On 4 March, Trump set off a stir when he tweeted that president Barack Obama had put a wiretap on interchanges at Trump Tower, the New York home of the president and first family, before the November 8 decision.
Senior officials with the House Intelligence Committee who are exploring the matter said they have seen no confirmation to bolster the claim.
In any case, Trump disclosed to Fox News that the White House "will submit things before the council soon that hasn't been submitted starting at yet," without offering points of interest.
Trump likewise coordinated specific fury at the NBC organize.
"I made a fortune for NBC with 'The Apprentice'," he stated, alluding to the TV indicate he once facilitated. "I was on for 14 seasons."
Also, now, "You see what happens when I am not on? It was a catastrophe."
In January, Trump taunted the show's low appraisals, faulting its present host, the Hollywood star and ex-California representative Arnold Schwarzenegger, for a poor execution.
Schwarzenegger said in March that he was stopping the show since it had excessively "stuff" - particularly Trump's name in the credits as official maker, which he said has frightened off supporters and watchers.
