Reuters: One habit Trump says he will keep as president: tweeting
U.S. President-elect Donald Trump plans to select the media representatives who are given access to the presidential press briefing room, but will not move the room out of the White House, he said in interview with Fox News broadcast on Wednesday.
Trump, whose election campaign was punctuated by a stream of Twitter messages, also said he plans to keep tweeting when he takes office on Friday.

WNU Editor: This is a tough one. On the one hand .... the Presidency is special .... communications, policies, opinions .... there should be some judgement before they are made. Twitter does not make this possible .... you cannot take back your off-the-cuff remark/opinion/comment. But on the other hand .... I do like this personal connection .... that if the U.S. President has something to say .... I will know it right away instead of being told about it through the filter of the media. Will President-elect Trump keep on tweeting .... I would not be surprised. The media is not going to change their opinion of him, and he will always want that connection with his supporters. President-Elect Trump's tweeter page is here.
