Should Trump be a slave to Twitter?

Should any world leader? Twitter does encourage impulsive, off-the-cuff comments. Should world leaders engage in such communication? They don't have to, as they can go on television or radio whenever they want. Doing so would make them and their staffs give some thought to what they will say since their words can carry immediate consequences, and can conceivably affect billions.

Twitter now bans people with a few thousand followers to prevent the harm of online harassment. Some statements from world leaders could cause a lot worse than harassment.

My understanding is that he chooses Twitter because mainstream media was misquoting/partial quoting, Cherrypicking him to fit their agenda. I don't blame him.
