President Donald Trump’s use of social media has drawn renewed controversy after a series of attacks on the news media and television personalities. Trump defended his approach as “MODERN DAY PRESIDENTIAL,” arguing that social media helped him win the 2016 election and allows him to communicate directly with Americans despite what he calls unfair coverage.

In one tweet, Trump shared a GIF from a 2007 WWE appearance in which he body-slams and punches WWE Chairman Vince McMahon. The clip was altered to place the CNN logo over McMahon’s head. Homeland Security Adviser Tom Bossert defended the post on ABC’s *This Week*, saying he did not believe anyone would perceive it as a threat and that Trump had a right to respond to criticism on cable news.

CNN contributor Ana Navarro sharply criticized Bossert’s response, calling Trump’s tweet an incitement to violence and warning that it could endanger members of the media.

Trump also faced criticism for tweets attacking *Morning Joe* hosts Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski, including a claim that Brzezinski had been bleeding from a face-lift when she sought to join him at Mar-a-Lago. Republican Senator Ben Sasse called the attacks beneath the dignity of the presidency, while Senator Lisa Murkowski questioned whether Trump wanted to be remembered for his tweets or his accomplishments. During the 2016 campaign, Trump had promised that he would eventually become “so presidential.”

A separate passage explains that Twitter users can add a city or precise location to their tweets and delete their tweet location history.
