       Epigraph

      So will I turn her virtue into pitch,

      And out of her own goodness make the net

      That shall enmesh them all.

      William Shakespeare, Othello

      Without the Tweets, I wouldn’t be here.

      Donald J. Trump, 45th President of the United States of America, interviewed in the Oval Office

      Twitter is an online social networking service that enables users to send and read short 140-character messages called ‘tweets.’ Registered users can read and post tweets, but those who are unregistered can only read them. Users are identified by a ‘handle,’ indicated by an ‘at’ sign.
