Here are all the tweets Donald Trump has deleted since becoming president
Donald Trump has a Twitter problem.
In addition to his penchant for delivering surreal, stream-of-consciousness rants at any time of day on the microblogging platform, Donald Trump can't seem to stop deleting tweets.
Many times, his tweets are deleted because of typos, including the infamous "covfefe" tweet. But the reasons behind deleting other examples, like one about his alleged appearance on Fox & Friends, remain a mystery.
Regardless of the reason, a president deleting tweets is serious business. As we've noted before, any documentation from the president, tweets or otherwise, should be archived under the Presidential Records Act. And the White House says they're doing just that.
But Trump has already deleted nearly two dozen tweets in the five months since his inauguration, as Gizmodo noted, relying on the Pro Publica/Politowoops database that's been archiving Trump's deleted tweets since he announced his candidacy in June 2015.
Here, then, are the tweets Trump has deleted as president thus far, as of June 26, 2017:
