Interviewed by NBC’s Megyn Kelly, Putin was asked whether he reads his American counterpart’s tweets.
“Nyet,” he replied.
He also nyetted to the question of whether he himself tweets. “I have other ways of expressing my point of view or implementing a decision,” Putin said.
Putin insisted Trump’s tweeting shows a big difference between himself and the American president.
“Donald is a more modern individual,”he said.
The White House didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment.
Trump’s Twittering has certainly changed politics. You have to decide whether it’s for the better or worse.
He believes his grasp of social media brought him to power. Yet he’s claimed he doesn’t like tweeting. His staff has expressed fears Twitter will be his ultimate undoing.
Presumably though, some might observe, Putin believes the truly conservative and traditionalist have no need for social media when they have a little, well, social control.
