By his own admission, outgoing President Barack Obama famously said that he has “got a pen” and “a phone” to do more damage to the US economy and its national security.
He didn’t actually say that he would do damage to the US, but his policies written by that pen of his has compromised America’s sovereignty.
With the short period of time he has remaining in office, could Obama’s pen and phone continue to pose a threat to the US?
Incoming President Donald Trump also has a pen, a phone,
and a Twitter account.
Trump’s Twitter account, which has the national press hanging on its every tweet, has been weaponized to take on adversaries and critics since day numero uno of his presidential candidacy.
With just days before he is sworn in as the next President of the United States, Trump’s latest Twitter victim is CIA chief John Brennan.
Trump took on Brennan after the outgoing intelligence chief questioned Trump’s understanding of national security and intelligence.
"Now that he's going to have an opportunity to do something for our national security as opposed to talking and tweeting, he's going to have tremendous responsibility to make sure that US and national security interests are protected."-CIA Director John Brennan, Fox News Sunday
Trump tweeted back at Brennan, questioning him on whether he as the “leaker of Fake news.”
.@FoxNews "Outgoing CIA Chief, John Brennan, blasts Pres-Elect Trump on Russia threat. Does not fully understand." Oh really, couldn't do...

Trump’s Twitter account will undoubtedly continue to be the weapon of choice in countering “fake news” and any and all attacks made against him from foes both foreign and domestic.
For those of you looking to take on Donald Trump, take head and govern yourselves accordingly, if you don’t want to targeted by his Twitter account.
