Trump associates try to defend president's use of social media

White House officials are trying to defend U.S. President Donald Trump's use of social media, and especially twitter, at a time when the White House staff has struggled to issue formal statements.

Senior Advisor Kellyanne Conway has tried to dismiss concerns about what President Trump is saying on twitter as merely an obsession of American political reporters, at a time when those very same reporters point out that these are public statements by the American president.

National Security assistant Sebastian Gorka (who is controversial unto himself) told CNN that the president's tweets are not official policy.

IN: "It's social...
OUT: ...the difference."
