In an interview with Barstool Sports founder, Dave Portnoy, President Trump acknowledged that his use of Twitter has gotten him in trouble.
“Do you sometimes — because I follow you on Twitter and I know I do this… do you ever tweet out and be like — you wake up and, ‘Aw man, I wish I didn’t send that one out’?” Portnoy asked.
“Often, too often, It used to be in the old days before this, you’d write a letter and you’d say this letter is very big. You put it on your desk and then you go back tomorrow and you say, ‘Oh, I’m glad I didn’t send it,’ right? But we don’t do that with Twitter, right? We put it out instantaneously, we feel great, and then you start getting phone calls — ‘Did you really say this?’ I say, ‘What’s wrong with that?’ and you find out a lot of things” Trump responded.
He went further and admitted retweets have caused him the most problems.

In recent weeks Twitter has taken action against the President’s tweets, including labeling some tweets a “manipulated media” and “sensitive content”
