As President Donald Trump increasingly criticizes social media companies and Google’s treatment of him, former aides said they never saw him use many of the websites he vilifies. Though President Trump mastered Twitter as a campaign tool and has used the platform to communicate with supporters for years, three former aides described President Trump as averse to email, rarely interested in surfing the web and more comfortable with paper than a computer screen. Former aides described President Trump as being not significantly different than CEOs at large companies – able to use computers and other technology but more comfortable allowing others to do that work for him. Several described printing online documents for him to read. One former aide said most of his interactions on the internet begin with a link on Twitter.
