Donald Trump DICTATES his tweets to staff, hates using computers and is obsessed with celeb shows on TV, incredible leaks from his top aides reveal
Insiders claim newly inaugurated president is a technophobe who religiously follows media coverage of himself
DONALD Trump hates using computers and dictates all his many tweets to aides who post them online for him, insiders have revealed.
The newly inaugurated president reads only newspapers, rarely uses the internet and is obsessed by celeb TV programmes, according to leaks from inside his team.
"He's an analog guy," one top adviser told , explaining that he had never seen his boss on a computer or using a phone for anything other than a call.
Trump has admitted himself that he does not actually type out his tweets himself.
On November 23, 2011, he tweeted: “I dictate my tweets to my executive assistant and she posts them. ‘Time is money’---The Art of the Deal.”
But insiders have revealed he does everything on paper, scribbling down instructions or messages and getting aides to scan them into computers and email them to the right people.
One advisor told how he would trawl through newspaper copies as he sat in Trump Tower, searching for coverage of himself.
They described how he would leaf through the pages with a pen in his hand, making notes and highlighting parts of stories.
