Trump: "I don't like tweeting. But the lying media is making me do it."

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/donald-trump-doesnt-like-twitter_us_587f29f8e4b01cdc64c87fb4

But in an interview with “Fox & Friends” host Ainsley Earhardt, which is set to air Wednesday, Trump claimed he didn’t really like using the micro-blogging service at all.

...

“Look, I don’t like tweeting, I have other things I could be doing,” he said. “But I get very dishonest media, very dishonest press. And it’s my only way that I can counteract.”

“Now if the press were honest, which it’s not, I would absolutely not use Twitter,” Trump added. “I wouldn’t have to.”

But if they completely stop reporting on him, they could end this nonsense once and for all. But they can't so they won't, and we'll end up in this Groundhog Day scenario 24/7 for the next 4 years.
