I was under the impression that trump should not be deleting his tweets.. as they are him acting as a president.. but he deleted this one today..

He was doing a function in the White house so it should be part of official communication.. right?

If anything is part of the official White House communication, it should be immediately archived and preserved by whichever government agency does that. To delete something off twitter merely removes it from twitter. Not from whatever archive should already exist. Twitter should not be the keeper of official records. Therefore the President, or anyone else, should keep their twitter account as tidy and revised as they'd like.

Trump does talk about presidential stuff thru his personal twitter account and this was an event at the white house. So i am thinking it should be not deleted.

Now it was trump saying happy birthday to his current wife that is a personal thing and he can do what he wants with it.

The Madman has run rampant, too many to post without being a pain in the ass.

Worth a look see, threatening Nancy with 11,000,000 more hostages.

It's a nice nation you have here, Nancy.
