Trump to Dems :"I hope They Give Me Their Tickets , We Need Seats So Badly"

Speaking in an interview with Fox News, the President-elect Donald Trump revealed that Democrats shunning his inauguration this Friday ought to return their tickets. This follows announcement by 54 House Democrats who pledged not to attend the inauguration.

There has been a rapid increase in the number of Democrats who’ve boycotted attending Trump’s inauguration following the recent feud between Mr. Trump and John Lewis. The President-elect Donald Trump called out John Lewis adding that he was all talk and no action. However, it’s no surprise to find out that the Democrats are boycotting the inauguration, at the end of the day that’s the best way for them to show how bitter they are following their loss in the election.

Trump is less concerned by their absence as he pointed out that they should return their tickets. The Hill’s whip list reported that a huge number of Democrats intend to break with tradition by skipping Trump’s inauguration.

Trump slammed Lewis after he claimed that he had never boycotted an inauguration despite doing so during former President George W. Bush’s in 2001. Trump mocked Lewis adding that he conveniently doesn’t remember.

Trump also emphasized that he dislikes tweeting and that he uses Twitter as a defense against the media. Adding that he gets very dishonest media and press and the only way for him to counteract is through twitter. Trump is always able to call out misstatements that are made about him. However, he added that he’ll reduce his Twitter activity once the press shows some respect towards him.

Despite critics voicing their concerns, with claims that the social media platform’s 140-character limit is too simplistic for policy issues, Twitter has been a very useful tool for Mr. Trump, he’s used it to savage opponents ranging from foreign leaders, lawmakers and celebrities.

Its no surprise to awaken to the fact that Trump’s tweets have become the news market moving catalyst du jour, they are driving the entire news cycles and the stock prices too. In a report made by Fox News, Trump will use his personal Twitter account instead of the official presidential account once he takes up office.
