Trump's Wife Wishes He'd Give Up 'Retweeting'

WASHINGTON (AP)-- Melania Trump says there's one habit she wishes her husband, Donald Trump, would give up: "Retweeting."

The wife of the Republican presidential front-runner offered the response while speaking on NBC's "Today" ahead of a town hall event taking place in midtown Manhattan.

Melania Trump has long taken issue with her husband's Twitter use. She told CNN's Anderson Cooper recently that she's tried to rein it in, with little success.

"Anderson, if he would only listen. I do say it many times," she said then.

Trump has long described his social media following as an asset that gives him the power to broadcast his own message.

But it's also gotten him in trouble.

He does appear to have toned down his Twitter use since re-shuffling of his campaign and bringing in more experienced operatives in recent weeks.
