Aww man :( No more crazy tweets from the Don?
His tweets had so much meme potential..

I think a lot of people aren't realising this guy is deleting his own old anti-trump tweets, not Trump's. I doubt Trump would allow any one to take his 'voice' away.

This guy just seems like a real salesmen type. Let's see how long he lasts. That Futurama pic of 'Steve Castle' perfectly captured this guys vibe.

Does anyone actually fall for this shit anymore? It's like he was auditioning for The Wolf of Wall Street 2 for God's sake

Didn't know who Scaramucci was but after his ass kissing presser, these two posts capture my feelings about him perfectly.

Who knows...maybe reality hit him one day and he realized how insane he sounded in his tweets and put someone else in charge of them.

His first press conference looked slick next to Spicer but watching the recaps - a couple of things:

1. His levels of sycophancy were through the roof. Genuinely bizarre appeal to to the press corps to "love him" as much as Scaramucci himself does.
2. All the questions he answered were related this own position. Let's see how he handles his next exposure when the spotlight is 100% on Trump shenanigans.
3. My god is sanders-huckabee terrible. Combative know nothing who can barely read her own sheets of talking points.

It's amazing that people are willing to throw their reputation out the window to work for Trump.

Like the one universal truth of working for Trump is that you are going to come out the other side smelling like shit and being a joke. And the more public your role, the more that will be true

The bigger issue is the Trump administration's attempts to minimize the white house press corp. This smooth talking coward isn't important. He's not gonna sell anyone on Trump's agenda. He's just there because he tells Trump he's the greatest.

Isn't that illegal? I'm pretty sure that all of the president's correspondence has to be saved, regardless of format.

@POTUS tweets have to be preserved under the law, but Trumps own personal account that he uses for his rants isn't covered by that law afaik. It's legal to delete tweets from that account.

I dunno, I think if it were put to the test, the tweets would probably be considered some sort of presidential record and need to be kept.

Regardless, they aren't going anywhere. Internet doesn't work that way. If and when they're needed in court, they'll be there.

Didn't they say Trump's tweets were just as official as press releases?

They can still be kept without being in his actual Twitter feed/history.

Aren't Trump's tweets supposed to be archived as presidential statements?

Edit: that's a really stupid loophole

But is he acid-washing those Tweets?

Oh well, it's good for him that no one in that administration has a problem with deleting electronic correspondence.

It’s odd to me that Trump would even hire someone like this. Trump is all about loyalty - why hire a dude who was shittalking you just a year ago?

Then again, it’s probably hard to find anyone who would want to fill Spicer’s shoes, and Trump is a senile moron that can barely form coherent sentences.

Well what's old shit? If he tweeted something negative about Trump 10 years ago, I think you'd have a point. But I know in 2015-16 there are clips of him basically destroying Trump, saying things like it would ruin the Republican party for him to be elected. That's relevant as far as I'm concerned as it shows his character and what a hypocrite he is.

Scaramucci just offered the opinion of an anonymous person on Russia...then when pushed by @jaketapper admitted that it was President Trump

During the interview, Scaramucci also cited an anonymous expert as suggesting that if the Russian hackers were messing with the 2016 election, Americans would never have found out about it because they were so good at it.

When pressed by Tapper as to the who expert was, Scaramucci said it was Trump: "How about it was — how about it was the president, Jake?"

I mean guarantee someone has already compiled all of his tweets he's ever made. What's the point deleting them?

Our President. Reciting rhetoric that sounds like it came straight from Russia. 'If it was Russia we would have never known about it'. You're supposed to be nationalistic about the US Trump you dumb ass. How can there possibly be any doubt that Russia has Trump's ear at this point?

Edit: I do like this new guy though, he's terrible.

Ah, but he was just a fresh-faced 53 year old back then. He didn't know what he was doing at such a precious young age! Now that he's 54 he has matured and evolved his positions.

Damn, the new guy is so bad I want Spicer back. This guy is just a douche of the highest order.

At least Spicer was funny at times.

There must be a whole Trump tweet archive by now. Everyone must be catalogued and .jpeged for quotable purposes. Then again, we need to somehow not have a ton of fake ones thrown in.

So where can I find these deleted tweets? I see people posting Trump's deleted tweets but I thought that the new dude is deleting his own tweets?
