Even Donald Trump's wife Melania wants him to stop tweeting

Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

Your support makes all the difference.It isn’t just the public who are sick of Donald Trump’s constant tweeting. His wife Melania has had enough as well.
In a town hall with the Today Show, presenters attempted to glean information about the ‘real’ Trump behind the rhetoric by interviewing various members of his family.
Host Matt Lauer decided to ask Melania what she would most like to see her husband give up. There are a number of habits she could have chosen from; his propensity for branding his opponents losers or morons, his refusal to apologise - ever, his derogatory and repeated comments about Muslims, Mexicans and women, or his habit of self-aggrandising, perhaps?
But when asked what Melania would like to see disappear, she could only think of one thing: “the tweeting”.
Now, Trump has seven million followers, which means he has a huge audience for self-promotion - and any controversial retweets.
Considering this is the man who was sending 10 tweets on average per day in December and once declared his Twitter feed his own personal newspaper, it seems highly unlikely that he will stop.
