Trump has a website and is involved with social media on Snapchat, Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter. He keeps his Facebook up to date with the topics going on reflecting his image in a positive way. His Instagram account consists mostly of photos showing you how Trump can be seen doing things everyday people can relate to. I believe this helps the public see he can in some ways relate to the average American. He is most known for his Twitter account. This social media site has gotten him into more trouble than any other social media site he is involved in. It is no secret that Trump has basically no filter when it comes to saying what he wants to even in some cases at very inappropriate times. He has been caught numerous times lying on his Twitter, or simply just saying ridiculous things. Overall, Trump is quite active on his social media sites in comparison to most. He is known to many as the king of social media.

His ability to use social media so well has brought attention to several people across the nation. The publicity in my opinion helped him win the election. However, the hatred and negativity he seemed to bring on his social media sites can not be a good look for someone with hopes of being a leader to so many others. As President he is going to need someone monitoring what he Tweets out for example in order to keep any unnecessary problems from occurring. His most important online source of social media has to be his Twitter account, because it has by far brought in the most publicity for both good and bad reasons.

Trump did an excellent job at getting people to pay attention to his online presence. For a man his age it is unbelievable how many different age groups have interest in what he has to say. His unpredictable mindset has kept people entertained in what he is going to do or say next. Filtering out the nonsense and rants about topics that offend others needs to be something he works on. It will hurt him more than ever if he continues this behavior since he now has such a great amount of important responsibilities to obtain. The most interesting posts Trump included were the ones with relevance of importance to the betterment of our country. He needs to focus on politics and the way our country is developing for the better. This will bring hope to the American people in a positive display. The profanity and bold claims were the messages he sent out on Twitter that I found to be the posts he sent out with the most engagement from his followers.
