The woman behind Donald Trump’s Twitter obsession revealed

President Trump’s tweets are the source of many late night TV monologues.

But it seems Donald Trump’s Twitter obsession is thanks to his first wife, Ivana Trump.

In an upcoming interview on CBS’s Sunday Morning, the 68-year-old tells journalist Jim Axelrod she gave him the idea of getting his message out using social media during the election.

“I said, ‘I think you should tweet. It’s a new way, a new technology.

“‘And if you want to get your words across rightly, without telling the New York Times, which is going to twist every single word of yours, this is how you get your message out’.”

When asked what she makes of the US President’s constant tweets and rants, which have drawn plenty of criticism from across the globe, Ivana says her ex-husband is on the money

“Well, it’s a tweeting president. This is his new way, how to put the message across. And he’s right,” she told Axelrod.

On Thursday however, it came to light that the President may not in fact be the one posting his own tweets.

The theory, ironically put out on Twitter by political journalist Joe Perticone, shows Trump's social media director Dan Scavino Jr posting a duplicate tweet, complete with the 'FAKENEWS' hashtag.

Scavino, who has previously insisted the President tweets for himself, has since deleted the double up from his account, leaving just the version on Trump's account.
