Tweeter-elect shows his ignorance

Donald J. Trump recently said, “In addition to winning the Electoral College in a landslide, I won the popular vote if you deduct the millions of people who voted illegally.”

I saw this tweet and became very aware about how ignorant our 45th president-elect is. Only American citizens can legally vote! If Trump cannot control the bashing of Americans via Twitter, how can we as Americans trust him to properly represent law-abiding Americans?

I am very saddened to see our next president constantly condemning the media as well as the American people. The president-elect needs to have his social media accounts closely watched as he takes office soon, because he may say something very offensive and ignorant, which may cause an uproar with either our allies or even worse, our enemies.
