President Trump's tweets are considered part of the official presidential record — which federal law says must be preserved. His tendency to tweet-and-delete is alarming experts and prompting grassroots archival efforts.

blabbypain I thought that would come back to haunt him!

In today’s speech referring to ISIS as being among the best in the world with use of technology “except Donald Trump” what a Sunday morning joke 😂Sorry POTUS but being a fool on Twitter everyday doesn’t make you a tech expert.

Here’s my piece in icsjournal on examining politicians’ deleted tweets, the state (at the time) of archives, and ethical considerations for analyzing deleted tweets:

DebbieDoesTwitt Bush&Cheney illegally deleted millions of emails.Nothing ever happened so GOP continued the policy of doing whatever the fuck they wanted with communication trails.

Like this: cc: JebBush realDonaldTrump

After 1000 days or so of being in office, now you wake up..thanks for joining us.

This is much more important than what an illegitimate president & conman says or tweets. I'm aware that NPR accepts Koch funding...but, is it stopping you from investigative reporting like this?

I'm not sure we should archive the ramblings & lies of a sick man. Better to investigate (& report) the work of the Koch RW group running the WH, Cabinet & dismantling gov. right now. What's Mulvaney doing today?

These “experts” sound like boomers that don’t understand how Twitter works.

Oh the horror. BTW the internet does not forget.

Digital footprints do not disappear

Hold Twitter to higher ethical standards! Especially when they are corrupting children’s minds with selective filtering!

The media should have never covered his tweets. That would have forced him to make real statements to the press like every president before him. And he wouldn’t have the bully pulpit he uses to terrorize the world.

Baghdadi dead.

Record low unemployment.

EmmaLBriant Wayback machine?

Said the person writing between NPR’s bias, racism, and inaccuracies? Yeah it’s nice they notice it in others thought!

BreatheHistory join the grassroots archival mission!

If he tweets and then deletes, isn't the first deleted tweet still part of the record?

mchovden1785 His tweets, like his scandals, which are sometimes the same, pile up.

Nothing is deleted once put on internet. It’s recoverable. It’s there forever. Digital footprint.

He's like the dog who thinks you can't see him if he can't see you. I set my dog in front of a mirror, and HE learned!

“Experts” 🤣

People are dying. People are starving. The president shouldn’t even be allowed to have a twitter account.

Which experts are alarmed?

Do you mean the tweets his Russia handlers write under his account? Or Trump?

Oh Lord. There are much bigger fish to fry.

EmmaLBriant I have the feeling that his entire tweeter archive is already safely stored. And not by him nor his supporters...

Thank goodness for screen prints, eh?

I share his attitude, everybody should always revise what they wrote.

Thankful there are bots that nearly immediately retweet them (so no need to follow him)...and those accounts will show the record.

The tweets are removed by twitter, not by Trump you utter spoons.

NPR Choice pageSo when Trump kept saying ISIS was totally defeated he meant they weren’t defeated. I think all of us knew that already, but I didn’t expect him to personally confirm it. Ya we'll be in a deep sleep st 9am. (I'll be having Trumpmares) Hope this is true story

NPR Choice pageVape (all) bans are ridiculous... Legalize, tax, regulate... If you were apart of the Prison guard Union, for profit prison system or LE. It would be in their best interest to flood an illegal market with a harmful product, to justify upending a non harmful legal market. Sounds like sabotage.
