According to CNBC: Trump should re-evaluate his use of Twitter <strong>(TWTR)<\/strong> with &#8220;fresh eyes&#8221; after the inauguration, because &#8220;governing in 140 character transmissions is a lot harder,&#8221; Woolsey said on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cnbc.com\/squawk-box-us\/?__source=msn|money|inline|story|&amp;par=msn&amp;doc=104207232|Nokia returns with an And\" target=\"_blank\"><strong><u><span style=\"color: #0066cc;\">&#8220;Squawk Box.&#8221;<\/span><\/u><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Indeed.
