President Trump on Tuesday began deleting his tweets supporting Sen. Luther Strange (R-Ala.) in the Republican Alabama Senate primary after Strange lost the race to former state Supreme Court Justice Roy Moore.

No time for losers when you're always winning.

 

[Bad_Boy]

The internet never forgets, donald.

 

[teiresias]

Isn't against the law for record preservation?

 

[Grizzlyjin]

Doesn't he have to keep tweets up for public record?

 

[zero_suit]

Tweets are forever.

 

[Zolo]

Doesn't he have to keep tweets up for public record?

Pretty sure this hasn't been challenged in court.

 

[itwasTuesday]

The internet never forgets, donald.

Pretty much. Especially at this stage.

 

[O.v.e.rlord]

I was thinking like southpark "strange" lol that would have been funnier

 

[Shard]

Indeed, just another thing to taunt him with.

 

[Mr_Appleby]

I assume at this point somebody has a script that captures and archives everything he tweets.

 

[Phreaker]

Ha! You can't delete "official statements"

 

[RoKKeR]

Lol

That's really my only reaction.

 

[DietRob]

Isn't that illegal for a president to do?

I'm not trying to be one of those guys being a stickler for rules. But I think it is.

Or maybe not since he still uses his personal account?

 

[WedgeX]

Never have we seen such doublespeak, cowardice, and hypocrisy.

 

[Bacon]

Fake tweets

 

[Alucrid]

wait. wasn't it at strange's rally that he started the NFL shit?

 

[Log4Girlz]

So basically, he never said those things

 

[Omadahl]

I can't wait for the bills this racist is going to introduce. Asshat probably wants the ten commandments stamped on every immigrant as he personally throws them from the wall. What a horrible time to be alive.

 

[PeakPointMatrix]

Twitter should reinstate all tweets he deletes.

 

[Shadow Puppetry]

The Pro Publica on the OP keeps records.

 

[TS-08]

wait. wasn't it at strange's rally that he started the NFL shit?

No that was John Miller.

 

[O.v.e.rlord]

Would it be against the law for twitter to delete his account?

 

[Azuran]

LMAO

How can a man lose so much in one day?

 

[Forearms]

The Pro Publica on the OP keeps records.

Edit: Disregard, I see they're all linked together.

 

[JP_]

That's strange

 

[Brakke]

The official motto of the Trump Years for me stays “not surprising, but nonetheless shocking.”

How the fuck he thinks this will fly after he did a damn rally ostensibly to support Strange.

 

[BigJonsson]

Someone should create a mirror Trump account with all his deleted tweets

 

[Seesaw15]

But those tweets are for the history books.

 

[Costanza-san]

Damn that's amazing.

 

[JHoNNy1OoO]

What a baby! Sad!

 

[Tamanon]

Wait. Of all his stupid tweets, THESE are the ones he finally deletes? Insanity.

 

[LegendofJoe]

Or in other words he's breaking the law to protect his ego. It won't be the last time.

 

[CarpeDeezNutz]

Trump a bum

 

[BronsonLee]

That's what happens when you back someone with fucked up hands

 

[RustyNails]

"I never supported Luther Strange"

"But we have video and tweets of you supporting Luther Strange"

"FAKE NEWS!"

 

[gaugebozo]

About it being illegal to delete his tweets... Presumably as long as he keeps a record it's okay. The White House can change their website for instance, they don't have to just continually add to it.

 

[Pandaman]

Would it be against the law for twitter to delete his account?

No, twitter has no obligation to store data on behalf of the government.

 

[Electric Eye]

Oh Dotard, you can't erase the internet buddy.

 

[numble]

They just need to keep a record of it somewhere. It does not mean it needs to stay up.

 

[kess]

Twitter is full of shit, news at 11. If they really cared about "newsworthiness" and the letter of the law they would prohibit Trump from deleting any of his tweets. Being a private service should not obligate both Trump and Twitter to violate public record.

 

[shadow_shogun]

This man has issues.

 

[Majine]

Sounds like someone was tired of losing.

 

[zma1013]

Someone should make a Twitter called TrumpsDeletedTweets and post them all there.

 

[Oersted]

We have seen the day where Trump is embarrassed by the existence of his tweets.

Welcome to the rest of us Donnie boy.

 

[iammeiam]

I'm half surprised he didn't just tweet out a bunch of rigging accusations. His world has to be shaken that he went somewhere and advocated for this guy and Republican voters didn't just bend to his will.

 

[Sobriquet]

lmao

 

[Electric Eye]

Motherfucker still thinks he has pull 8 months into wrecking the white house.

 

[mnannola]

Next he is going to delete all the tweets supporting GOP healthcare reform

 

[Aaron Strife]

What a sad, luther strange little man.
