Barack Obama has 97.4 million followers on microblogging platform, Twitter.
New Delhi: When it comes to tweets, former US President Barack Obama has some tips for everyone, including current President Donald Trump: Think before you tweet and do not just post thoughts as they appear in your mind.
According to Mr. Obama, you should think before you open your mouth that what are you talking, you must think about before you tweet, and should not allow the first thing that appears in your head to become your thought of peace.

“I have many more followers on Twitter than those who use the social networking tool more often. We must remember that social media tools have and should be placed after a thorough weighing of thoughts, “Obama said at a meeting at the leaders’ summit in New Delhi on Friday.
Obama has 97.4 million followers on the microblogging platform, and President Trump has 43.7 million followers.
Taking an obvious boost to President Trump, who is known for introducing typos and spelling errors in his tweets, although not naming him, Mr. Obama said: “Remember your parents when it comes to tweeting, think first and post it later. do a spell check and use the punctuation tool and do not forget to specify the period at the end of the sentence, “Obama grinned.
President Trump, who tweeted around the clock, drew everyone’s attention to typos and spelling mistakes, such as “unforeseen act”, “praised” or the most hilarious “covfefe” (this meant lighting).
“Think before you start tweeting so you do not delete it later,” Obama said at a meeting during a question and answer session with an experienced journalist Karan Tapar.
According to Mr. Obama, the habit of tweeting about sensitive items that can affect millions was not a healthy practice.
“Do not just say that” climate change is a hoax “on Twitter, because it closes all the doors for discussion, for evaluation for different stakeholders. It is difficult for a democratic country to work in this situation. If you say that this is a hoax, then we can not build bridges, “Obama said.
President Trump issued periodic statements confirming his conviction that anthropogenic climate change is a myth.
“We need to conduct in-depth analysis with all stakeholders around the relevant topic, and then evaluate it collectively. Do not just scratch the surface and tweet, “Obama added.
Asked how the media are biased, Obama said: “This is part of the trend around the world. In the US Fox News and The New York Times have completely different points of view. If I watch Fox News, I will not even vote for me! NYT does everything its own way, “Obama said.
Fox News is inclined towards Trump, while the NYT continues to question President Trump and his policies.
