Donald Trump to keep on tweeting after he takes office 'to counteract dishonest media'

President-elect Donald Trump has said there will be no let-up in his tweeting after he takes office.

Mr Trump said that he will keep making his opinions known in the 140-character tweets that have become so familiar to his Twitter followers, especially early in the morning.
