Donald Trump ca n’t stop deleting his own tweet , and we ’re not just babble out about literal any more .
On Tuesday , the presidentscrubbed evidenceof his financial backing for Alabama senator Luther Strange on Twitter , after Strange lost a principal runoff . A Trump tweet congratulating Roy Moore , the anti - establishment candidate that bunk Strange , also disappeared , though it was reposted later in the dark . Trump ’s decision to delete these tweets Strange is n’t just weird and puzzling . It might even be illegal .
What ’s especially , well , foreign about Trump ’s eternal habit of delete tweets is the dewy-eyed fact that he ca n’t get by with it . Aside from bystander noticing the missing tweet on Twitter , ProPublica operates a instrument call Politwoops that mechanically archives the deleted tweets . Here they are :

What ’s even more gonzo is the fact that Trump did not delete a telephone number of supportive tweets about Strange from several day ago . So if the chairperson is try out to make supporters bury that he endorsed a losing prospect , he ’s doing a really shitty occupation of it . Here ’s that once - delete but now reposted tweet support the victor in Alabama , a former chief jurist of the Alabama Supreme Court who ’s been identified as “ a bigot and a hatemonger ” that managed to get himself kicked out of the state Supreme Court twice :
Congratulations to Roy Moore on his Republican Primary win in Alabama . Luther Strange jump way back & execute a respectable airstream . Roy , WIN in Dec !

For now , it seems , we ’re stuck with a Chief Executive who does weird and potentially dangerous thing . Some countries , like North Korea , view Trump ’s erratic rhetoricas war pitch . Others enquire why Trump would attack black athlete exercising their rightfulness to free speechas Puerto Rico literally drownsin the consequence of Hurricane Maria . In the sublime strategy of thing , deleting a few tweet in an attempt to rewrite chronicle seems like it might not be the bad thing the president has done in the past week .
Why does Trump do these unusual affair ? We do n’t know . We might never know .
