trump erases his tweets supporting Luther Strange after Strange loses.

Trump's tweet supporting Luther Strange deleted - CNNPolitics
Quote:
Three recent Trump tweets about Strange were deleted Tuesday night, according to ProPublica, which tracks deleted tweets.
This came shortly after Strange appeared headed for a loss, despite Trump's efforts to help the candidate.
The deleted tweets had touted Trump's personal endorsement of Strange.

I don't understand why this is a big deal. People delete tweets all the time. I'm far more concerned about actual history being erased and rewritten than I am about Trump's Twitter account.

Deleted or not, they are all a matter of public record now.

So, I thought we were talking about erasing American history in order to be PC, now that would be something to discuss. Deleting "tweets", nothing to discuss.

it's a pointless thing to do since they're screen-shotted and archived by thousands.

In related matters, Twitter has announced that they are testing out 280 character tweets.

I wonder if his twitter account is considered a part of the executive office's public records.....?

I've worked in government and usually any sort of communications you make are considered public records and need to be archived for future historical reference/purposes. There are laws against deleting public records, which is one of the reasons why his opponent in 2016 had legal issues with her emails.

It is very True. Does Trump not realize that people screenshot and keep everything? Honestly, does Trump not know that?
Does he think that everything he says or tweets can be erased?

Trump backed a loser. Fact. He tried to delete it, which was idiotic, and he got caught. Also fact.

Poor Trump supporters. I can't imagine trying to defend him every day with all the dumb stuff he does.
