Trump breaks with tradition on Twitter, media and diplomacy

In the weeks after the election Donald Trump has continued to use social media to circumvent tradional media and send a message to businesses.

While the stakes are higher as president-elect, the strategy is similar to the campaign when he told voters he is on their side and not politics as usual.
