App made in China to “customize” U.S. President Donald Trump’s Tweets

(People's Daily Online)    05:47, January 27, 2017

The U.S. President Donald J. Trump has been inextricably putting Twitter and international diplomacy together. Trump, with nearly 22.3 million twitter followers, tweets mostly about his feelings on domestic and international issues. The frequency of tweeting in Trump's words is a "method of fighting back" against “inaccurate media reports” on him.

Trump’s Twitter obsession has become a heated topic in China, so popular that an app has been improvised to allow users putting words in the President’s mouth just for fun. The app allows users to “customize” “tweets” and make them look almost identical to those on the U.S. President’s Twitter timeline. Many Chinese netizens are thus posting screenshots that look like those taken from Trump’s Tweet feed lately. Some of these "screenshots" were even in Chinese language. Each of these “customized” picture features a bar code and with a press of the picture, users will then be directed to a surface, where they can type in whatever they want to say in “Donald Trump tweet”, in mere 5 seconds. Nevertheless, the app does make it clear with a declamation that everything posted on the app is for entertainment purpose only.
