Saturday Night Live took aim at President-elect Donald Trump's unconventional Twitter habits in its cold open last night, and what did Trump do? He tweeted about it. Alec Baldwin revived his much-lauded Trump impression for the sketch, which saw his President-elect perennially distracted by Twitter throughout an important security briefing.
US President Barack Obama's frequent remarks on the spread of information in the social media age have fueled rumors about his life after the White House. "@POTUS is interested in the changing ways people consume info, but he has no plans to get into the media business after he leaves office," White House Communications Director Jen Psaki said in a tweet, referring to Obama by his Twitter handle.
Earlier this week, Donald Trump warned on Twitter that he would reverse the current U.S. warming of relations with the Cuban government if Havana doesn't give Washington a "better deal." The tweet was short and to the point.
President-elect Donald Trump is railing against the very system that will put him in the White House. Without any substantiation, the man who will be president went on a Twitter rant this weekend, saying he would have "won the popular vote if you deduct the millions of people who voted illegally."
I know I know we've sort of beaten the whole " Trump wants to jail flag burners " thing to death today, but there's just so much juice left in that tasty, tasty fruit. Earlier this morning, Ed Morrissey set forth the basics of why this should essentially be a constitutional non-starter.
US president-elect Donald Trump's latest proposal - to jail anyone who burns the American flag - faced a backlash from much of political Washington on Tuesday, including from within his Republican Party. "Nobody should be allowed to burn the American flag," Trump posted on Twitter early on Tuesday.
That's what President-elect Donald Trump has done by claiming to have won the popular vote after discounting for "the millions of people who voted illegally." Trump offered no evidence of voter fraud, and by so baldly staking a demonstrably false claim he risks damaging the integrity of the very representative democracy that just elected him president.
The drama, disputes and falsehoods that permeated Donald Trump's presidential campaign are now roiling his transition to the White House, forcing aides to defend his baseless assertions of illegal voting and sending internal fights spilling into public. On Monday, a recount effort, led by Green Party candidate Jill Stein and joined by Hillary Clinton's campaign also marched on in three states, based partly on the Stein campaign's unsubstantiated assertion that cyberhacking could have interfered with electronic voting machines.
This file photo taken on October 22, 2016 shows President-elect Donald Trump during a campaign event at the Eisenhower Hotel in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania.

President-elect Donald Trump claimed without evidence Sunday that "millions" voted illegally in the national election, scoffing at Hillary Clinton's nearly 2 million edge in the popular vote and returning to his campaign mantra of a rigged race even as he prepares to enter the White House in less than two months. Trump and his lieutenants assailed an effort - now joined by Clinton - to recount votes in up to three battleground states, calling the push fraudulent, the work of "crybabies" and, in Trump's estimation, "sad."
President-elect Donald Trump's senior adviser Kellyanne Conway attacked former Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney, now a contender for secretary of state, warning him, "This is Trump's party now." "I think that there was the 'Never Trump' movement and then there was Gov. Mitt Romney.
Rosie O'Donnell took to her website Saturday to defend herself after posting a tweet last week questioning whether Donald Trump's son, Barron Trump, is autistic. On Monday, the 54-year-old comedian and outspoken critic of Trump posted a link to a video on her Twitter account that questions whether Trump's 10-year-old son with wife Melania Trump has ASD, or Autism Spectrum Disorder.
The incoming president has tapped Fox News analyst Kathleen "KT" McFarland to serve as deputy national security adviser, and campaign attorney Donald McGahn as White House counsel. He cited McFarland's "tremendous experience and innate talent," which he said would "complement the fantastic team we are assembling."
President-elect Donald Trump's often combative relationship with the media was again on display Tuesday when he publicly panned The New York Times on Twitter before then sitting down with the publication that was one of his favorite targets of ire throughout the campaign. It was just the latest in a string of chaotic episodes Trump has had with the press since his Election Day victory and provides a preview of how that relationship might develop as he gets closer to assuming office.
President-elect Donald Trump has formally offered retired neurosurgeon Ben Carson the position of secretary of the Department of Housing and Urban Development.

Donald Trump has surprised us all so many times, but could it be that he will go down in history as a politician who, in the vein of Franklin D. Roosevelt and John F. Kennedy, won by mastering a revolutionary new technology? I'm speaking, of course, of Twitter. In recent days, Trump has used the platform to attack the cast of "Hamilton" and to express some kind words about Sen. Chuck Schumer on Sunday.
