Trump says he won't quit using social media

US President Donald Trump said on Tuesday that he won't quit using social media, as he claimed to have relied on it to get unfiltered messages out to his supporters.


"Only the Fake News Media and Trump enemies want me to stop using Social Media," the president said in a tweet, suggesting that it is the only way for him to "get the truth out."

The tweet came a day after retired four-star Marine Corps General John Kelly was sworn in as Trump's new chief of staff.

Kelly, former secretary of homeland security, was tapped to restore order to the chaotic White House and push forward a policy agenda amid a series of West Wing shake-ups and infighting.

Trump has frequently taken to Twitter to lash out at investigations over possible links between his 2016 campaign and the Russian government, and, particularly, the GOP's failed attempts to advance a health care reform.
