A few choice deletions, more at link:
A vicious accuser of Justice Kavanough has just admitted that she was lying, her story was totally made up, or FAKE! Can you imagine if he didn't become a Justice of the Supreme Court because of her disgusting False Statements. What about the others? Where are the Dems on this?

Melania and I were treated very nicely yesterday in Pittsburgh. The Office of the President was shown great respect on a very sad and solemn day. We were treaty so warmly. Small protest was not seen by us, staged far away. The Fake News stories were just the opposite-Disgraceful!

Women for Kavanaugh, and many others who support this very good man, are gathering all over Capital Hill in preparation for a 3-5 P.M. VOTE. It is a beautiful thing to see - and they are not paid professional protesters who are handed expensive signs. Big day for America!

ProudLib72
(17,984 posts)Perhaps he decided to delete after discussing his situation with Jacob Wohl?
GemDigger
(4,305 posts)doesn't he just SDASTFU!?!
I am sure that Mueller has someone making copies of every single tweet he sends.

(48,955 posts)But guessing that a print up of daily tweets would count.
WePurrsevere
(24,259 posts)Is the ruling that he can't block people.
LEGALLY he shouldn't be able to delete tweets either because of the Presidential Records Act. There's also the fact that deleting (destroying) tweets that could be used as evidence in pretty much all court cases is a big huge no no that judges frown upon. (Not that it's truly destroyed but apparently he thinks so.)
Then of course there's the, 'Innocent people don't act like this' thing.

(14,966 posts)Every tweet he has ever sent is stored in places his deleting cannot reach. And in any court proceeding where they are relevant, those deleted tweets will be resurrected. And "consciousness of guilt" will be attached to the action of deleting them. Plus the issue of presidential records. He's only making more trouble for himself. As he does.

(1,652 posts)He can't spell Capitol, as in Capitol Hill? Lordy.
BumRushDaShow
(128,925 posts)when there were obvious misspellings. He usually tweets out a corrected version later (and deletes the original).
The "Capitol" thing was not as bad as the repeated "Council" vs "Counsel" problem though.

avebury
(10,952 posts)Idiot's twitter account and automatically save every tweet. For the matter, probably anybody that might be interested in sueing him is porbably doing the same thing.

I'm sure the news organizations and other organizations have staff assigned to the Trump Tweets Brigade.
