To promote the nature of real-time news on its platform, Twitter is turning to one of its more unfiltered, famous users -- U.S. president Donald Trump.
The social network is plastering his likeness on its billboard ads all over Tokyo's railway stations, accompanied by the hashtag #TrumpAdministration (トランプ政権) and a catchphrase: "There is a 'now' you don't know about."

Earlier this week, Trump also told the FT: "Without the tweets, I wouldn't be here. I have over 100 million followers [on social media]...I don't have to go to the fake media."
He has 27.4 million followers on Twitter alone.
