JULIUS CAESAR DID IT LONG AGO!!
Trump's use of Twitter is being regarded as quite innovative for a head of State.
Hey, nothing new about that. Ever hear about how Julius Caesar informed the Senate of one of his military victories?? He did it in only THREE WORDS!!! :
Veni, Vidi, Vici -- three words in LATIN that is, in English it is six words:
I CAME I SAW I CONQUERED
This is how a certain historical scholar put it::
To inform his friends back in Rome of his victory, Caesar succinctly wrote, "Veni, vidi, vici," or "I came, I saw, I conquered." Even back then, people were impressed with the way Caesar summarized his triumph: Plutarch writes that "In Latin, however, the words have the same inflectional ending, and so a brevity which is most impressive."
