Public figures and especially politicians around the world use Twitter to convey their thoughts to the masses, but Donald Trump took it to a new and ridiculous level. Trump’s Twitter account not only became a tool for policy announcement, a medium for criticism and bullying but also a center of political controversy. Donald Trump did not spare any section of the society. Even the judge who took down his racist "Muslim Travel ban" order was mocked by Trump on his Twitter account.

Trump’s Twitter account Post-elections
It is generally seen that candidates during election campaigns launch vicious attacks on opponents to malign them and to gain public attention. But such things fade out once elections are over. In the case of Donald Trump, the trend has remained same before and after the elections.
Donald Trump’s Twitter account has been active as ever even after his presidential win. When a judge overruled Muslim Travel Ban, Trump took to the Twitter and called the respected judge as the so-called judge. He even ridiculed the court order by saying that judge’s ruling will be overturned.

The use of social media on this level and the controversies stirred up due to its usage is unprecedented in the political history of America. Blunt remarks from Trump’s twitter account not only are creating problems on the internal front but also on the international front as evident from his comments against Qatar, which the United States considers as an ally.
