Donald Trump says he'll continue to tweet as president.

In a preview clip of a CBS “60 Minutes” interview to air Sunday, the president-elect said social media is a "modern form of communication" that played a key role in his election victory.


"When you give me a bad story or when you give me an inaccurate story or when somebody other than you and another— a network, or whatever, because of course, CBS would never do a thing like that right? I have a method of fighting back," Trump told reporter Lesley Stahl.

When asked whether he will continue to tweet as president, Trump said he is "going to be very restrained."

"There should be nothing we should be ashamed of. It's where it's at. I do believe this," he said.

Trump said Twitter, Facebook and Instagram, on which he claimed a combined 28 million followers, helped him win the primary and general elections even though his opponents spent "much more money than I spent."

"I won," he said. "I think that social media has more power than the money they spent, and I think maybe to a certain extent, I proved that."
