When a joke works, it works. It can make a point in a really simple way; it can be a great little sound bite to put on television or share on social media. Humor has this incredible power in how we communicate about politics now, in part because there's something natural in the way it's communicated.
It's easier to make negative attacks and simplistic slogans [in social media] than it is to communicate complex policies.
What's the best way of communicating in the world today? Television? No. Telegraph? No. Telephone? No. Tell a woman.
You basically can say anything to someone on an email or text as long as you put LOL at the end.
I don't even know how to Direct Message someone on Instagram. I still write letters.
I'm a notorious late-night texter. I seem to use a lot of lip, heart, and tongue emoji.
My fans and I have that special connection because whenever we talk on Twitter and Facebook we really have that one on one connection and I feel that's important.
I'm not a native English speaker but do post tweets in English.
In today's world of blogging and tweeting, conversation has become a bit more staccato. In many ways we're more efficient, but I think the amount of longer conversations that radiated more warmth may have gone down.
A lot of the letters that are coming in - a lot of them are queries or comments - are one sentence long... These are from Twitter. And if you look at the nature of those one sentence letters, most of the time it's something that came to somebody's mind - somebody walking down the street had a thought and sent it out. If they thought about it for two minutes they would not have sent it.
I don't really have a place where people can reach me via email because it got a little overwhelming. People tweet things at me like, "oh DM me for a great story that you'll definitely need to use on the show," which I don't, you know, DM them.
I think, generally, the president's tweets are not helpful to him. At the same time, Donald Trump is figured out a way to communicate with people in ways that no other president has, or he wouldn't be president.
