During a recent interview on right-wing network Newscast, former President Donald Trump told host Greg Kelly that he doesn't mind being banned from Twitter.

After all, said Trump, his press releases are "much more elegant" than any tweet.



Trump said to Kelly:

"Frankly, they're more elegant than tweeting, as the expression goes. They're really much more elegant. And the word is getting out."
"... It's probably a better form, and everyone's waiting for it. For me it works, for other people it wouldn't work because a press release doesn't mean that much, but when I put out a press release, you see what happens. Everyone's waiting."



Trump also noted that tweeting sometimes "gets [him] into trouble," saying:

"You're retweeting people, and you find out that the retweets were not so good, because the person ... that you're retweeting is not the best. It gets you in a little difficulty every once in a while. I like this better than Twitter. Actually, they did us a favor."




Trump was removed from almost all social media following tweets that incited a violent insurrection against the government.




Many on Twitter dreaded the idea of a Trump social media network.


There were also people online who questioned the "elegance" of Trump's press releases.

Former President Trump claims he doesn't mind being off Twitter, and Twitter users don't seem to mind his absence. His ban appears to be a win-win situation!

Trump Dragged After Making Ridiculous Claim About Randomly Finding Billions On The 'Tariff Shelf'

President Donald Trump was criticized after he claimed to reporters this week that officials in his administration suddenly found $30 billion they "never knew existed"—located on what Trump referred to as the "tariff shelf."

Tariffs are a tax on imported goods, usually calculated as a percentage of the purchase price. While tariffs can shield domestic manufacturers by making foreign products more expensive, they are also used as a tool to penalize countries engaged in unfair trade practices, such as government subsidies or dumping goods below market value.

Bride's Friends Surprise Her With Montage Video Of All Her Exes At Bachelorette Party—And People Are Mortified

While Jenny Han's novel To All the Boys I've Loved Before was a major hit, and even became a great film success in 2018, not everyone's married to the idea of reconnecting with their exes after the relationships end.

It might be nice to imagine staying friends after the relationships, imagining our exes missing us or regretting losing us, or even giving us an apology for the things they did wrong. But most of us pine for this for a little while, realize it's all a fairy tale, and push past it to better things and new love.
