Trump on Twitter: Restrained or an unvarnished White House?

NEW YORK (AP) — President-elect Donald Trump is promising restraint on Twitter but showing few signs of letting up on the tweetstorms that served as a pillar of his winning White House campaign, an approach to social media that could take presidential discourse into unchartered territory.

Trump said in an interview with CBS's "60 Minutes" taped Friday and aired Sunday that he would be "very restrained" but credited social media sites like Twitter for helping him triumph over Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton.

Since his unlikely victory, Trump has taken to Twitter to celebrate his win, note his congratulatory calls and touch off fresh fights.

[...] Executive Editor Dean Baquet thanked subscribers for their loyalty and vowed that the paper would "hold power to account, impartially and unflinchingly."

Unvarnished and unfiltered, Trump utilized Twitter and social media throughout his presidential campaign, rallying support, settling scores with political and media adversaries and retweeting incendiary statements, including those from white supremacists.

Kathleen Hall Jamieson, a professor of political communication at the University of Pennsylvania's Annenberg School for Communication, said Trump's White House will need to decide whether to specify which tweets are coming from the president himself or his staff.
