Twitter is one of the quickest and swiftest way to say something to the public. The same goes to Donald Trump.
The U.S. President insisted that his tweets are his ways to get his "honest and unfiltered message out," but apparently most of Americans say he shouldn't tweet that much.
According to a poll conducted by Morning Consult and Politico released on June 7th, more than two thirds of voters (69 percent) said that Trump uses Twitter too much, compared to just 15 percent who said that he uses it "about the right amount", and only 4 percent who said he should tweet more.
Trump's tweeting habit has also proven to be too much for even his supporters, the Republicans.
53 percent of them said that he uses the social media platform too much, compared to about 30 percent who said he should keep his tweeting about the same. Slightly more Republican voters (41 percent) thinks that his tweeting habit is a good thing, while 37 percent viewed it as bad.
What's more, Trump's number of tweets seem to be increasing. When asked the same question back in December 2016, only 42 percent of Republicans expressed such concern.
The polls however, contradicts Trump and the White House's views.
The President opposed the mainstream media, accusing them of trying to to push him to stop tweeting.
The FAKE MSM is working so hard trying to get me not to use Social Media. They hate that I can get the honest and unfiltered message out.

At a briefing with the press, White House press secretary Sean Spicer said the President's tweets should be taken as official White House statements, contradicting other administration aides who earlier in the day had tried to downplay their significance.
"The President is the President of the United States so they're considered official statements by the President of the United States," said Spicer.
"The President is the most effective messenger on his agenda, and I think his use of social media … give him an opportunity to speak directly to the American people, which has proved to be a very effective tool," he said. "The same people who are critiquing his use of it now critiqued it during the election, and it turned out pretty well for him then."
