If President Donald Trump ever needs advice on how to handle social media, Johnny Manziel is here to help him. After all, Manziel does have a lot of time on his hands.
Manziel offered some helpful advice to the 45th president of the United States on how to handle his critics on Twitter:
Good advice.
However, immediately following the tweet, Manziel deleted his Twitter account:

Why did Johnny delete his Twitter account?
“He told me it’s not a priority and he’s trying to eliminate distractions,” Manziel spokeswoman Denise Michaels told Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com afterward.
Ari Fleischer, a White House press secretary under George W. Bush, agreed with Manziel’s assessment:
When you’re right, you’re right. Johnny Manziel is right. (I can’t believe i said that.) https://t.co/cBiuxlQj13

Many have criticized the new President for his social media tactics. The New York Times‘ Jasmine C. Lee and Kevin Quealy have tracked the various targets of his contempt on Twitter—which numbers 305—since he announced his intention to run for president.
