A majority of the country thinks it's time for Donald Trump¹ to log off, and never tweet - at least not from his personal Twitter account.

 

美国多数民众认为是时候让特朗普注销推特账号，别再发帖了——至少不在其私人账号上发帖。

 

According to the latest national survey from Quinnipiac University released Tuesday, 64% of Americans want the president-elect to shut down @realDonaldTrump, the Twitter account that he has maintained since 2009, which has amassed² more than 19 million followers³.

 

The poll found that an even larger majority of Americans aged⁴ 18-34, 71%, are in favor of shutting down the account. Republicans are virtually split on the question: 49% say Trump should keep the account, while 45% say it should be shuttered.

 

Trump has fired off more than 34,000 tweets from the account, and has shown no signs since his victory in November that he's ready to give it up. In the nine weeks since Election Day, Trump has generated headlines (and controversy) with tweets on flag burning, the cost of Air Force One and, most recently, Meryl Streep. At times, Trump's tweets arrive in the wee hours of the morning, seemingly provoked by something he has just seen on television.
