A Majority of Americans Want Donald Trump to Dump His Twitter Account

Quinnipiac survey: 64% of U.S. adults want him to quit

If the results of a new survey are any sign, Americans now think Donald Trump should focus on more pressing matters than his Twitter account.

According to a survey of nearly 1,000 U.S. adults released today by Quinnipiac University, 64 percent said they think the president-elect should give up his 19.4 million followers on the platform when he becomes president. 

So what's all the fuss? It depends on whom you ask. While supporters say Twitter's a useful way for Trump to get messages out without needing traditional media, critics say he's often divisive with his rhetoric, reckless with his facts and vulnerable to potential future hacks that could set off international crises.
