Donald Trump admits regrets over tweets

We put it out instantaneously, we feel great, and then you start getting phone calls: ‘Did you really say this?’

Donald Trump has acknowledged he “often” has regrets about his tweets.

“Too often,” the president said, in an interview with Barstool Sports published on Friday.

The US president said modern times are not like the old days when people wrote a letter and let it sit for a day before sending it, giving them time to reconsider.

“But we don’t do that with Twitter, right?” Mr Trump said.

“We put it out instantaneously, we feel great, and then you start getting phone calls: ‘Did you really say this?’”

Mr Trump said more often than not, “it’s the retweets that get you in trouble”.

Sorry Fake News, it’s all on tape. I banned China long before people spoke up. Thank you @OANN https://t.co/d40JQkUZg5

He added: “You see something that looks good and you don’t investigate.”

Among other things, Mr Trump has been criticised in recent months for retweeting posts with “white power” and anti-Semitic messages as well one that included a “FireFauci” hashtag, referring to Dr Anthony Fauci, the nation’s top infectious disease expert.

Since you are here

Since you are here, we wanted to ask for your help.

Journalism in Britain is under threat. The government is becoming increasingly authoritarian and our media is run by a handful of billionaires, most of whom reside overseas and all of them have strong political allegiances and financial motivations.

Our mission is to hold the powerful to account. It is vital that free media is allowed to exist to expose hypocrisy, corruption, wrongdoing and abuse of power. But we can't do it without you.
