Republican presidential frontrunner Donald Trump sure spends a lot of time on Twitter — whether he's typing out the messages himself or just yelling them to the nearest woman. But that might change should he actually take office in 2017. At a Warwick, Rhode Island, rally Monday, Politico reports Trump plugged his Twitter handle before making a pretty bold promise:
"Don't worry, I'll give it up after I'm president," he said. "We won't tweet anymore. I don't know. Not presidential."
It remains to be seen whether Trump will resort to insulting Jeb Bush's mom in a different medium.
