Donald Trump's use of social media has attracted attention worldwide since he was elected as the 45th president of the United States.
History
Before his election Donald Trump was projected to become the first "social media president" by CNN. In comparison, Franklin D. Roosevelt can be described as the first "radio president", John F. Kennedy as the first "television president", and Barack Obama as the first "internet president". These presidents had a tremendous impact by spreading their message through new media channels.
Social media also was an important part of Trump's presidential election campaign in 2016, and was one of the reasons he was ultimately elected.

Trump Tower wiretapping allegations
Main article: Trump Tower wiretapping allegationsPresident Donald Trump (in the first of four tweets that claimed that former President Barack Obama tapped the phones in Trump Tower), TwitterTerrible! Just found out that Obama had my "wires tapped" in Trump Tower just before the victory. Nothing found. This is McCarthyism!
In a succession of tweets on March 4, President Donald Trump stated he had "just found out" that former president Barack Obama had wiretapped the phones in his offices at Trump Tower during the last months of the 2016 election. The tweets resulted into a weeks long media attention given to the allegations, despite scarce evidence. Fake news websites did also take up the allegations, and one even claimed that a warrant for Barack Obama's arrest had been given. He did not say where he had obtained the information and offered no evidence to support it. Trump compared the alleged intrusion to McCarthyism and Watergate. Anonymous White House officials told The Washington Post that Trump did not appear to coordinate his comments with other White House officials.
Into April and May there was no further evidence forthcoming on the claims. When questioned about the issue in an interview on April 30, Trump was evasive when asked about his relationship with former president Obama. He said 'I don't stand by anything' and he thought 'our side has been proven very strongly, and everybody’s talking about it'.
