| I heard President Obama say that this was years ago, but he said that the Internet got him elected. | |
| Right. | |
| That he utilized it so mightily that he got ⁇ but Trump can't use it, they say, because he's doing things on it they don't like. | |
| I think it shows his personality and he bypasses all the writers. | |
| But I hate it when journalism is so corrupted that it has the power to destroy. | |
| Because they're thrashing in a new age that they don't know how to work in. | |
| You mentioned Obama's statement, which was prophetic, how the Internet has become the crucial political decider. | |
| Abraham Lincoln, telegraphy was crucial in getting out his famous debates with Douglas that made him a national candidate. | |
| 1932, Franklin Delano Roosevelt, and then the fireside talks. | |
| It became radio. | |
| 1960, Jack Kennedy knew how to work a camera, Richard Nixon did not. | |
| 2016, 2017, the Internet is now the way we communicate and reach to each other. | |
| So, of course, he's going to drive them crazy when it's, okay, I'm no longer going to do a press conference with you people. | |
| Or I should actually look off and make believe that you're all the journalists. | |
| I don't need that anymore. | |
| I can go straight through the Internet here and I can reach every American in a matter of seconds. | |
