'Storm Tweets' Trump: "I Often Regret Posting Them"
[Asia Economy Reporter Onyu Lim] U.S. President Donald Trump also said he "often regrets" tweets he posted.
On the 24th (Korean time), in an interview with U.S. Bastul Sports, President Trump said, "It feels good to tweet immediately whatever comes to mind, but then I start getting calls asking, 'Did you really post that?'" according to AP News.
In particular, President Trump complained about the troubles caused by retweets.
Recently, President Trump faced public criticism for retweeting videos containing the white supremacist slogan "white power" and posts related to anti-Semitism. He also retweeted a tweet with the hashtag "FireFauci," targeting Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) under the National Institutes of Health, who had become unpopular due to his "frank remarks" against the government, sparking controversy.
Regarding retweets, President Trump said, "I find something that looks good (on Twitter), but I don't look into it in detail."
