Years ago, I read somewhere that everything that went through Twitter would be recorded in the Library of Congress. Now, I could have misread that, or it could have only applied to certain people, or whatever. That said, there’s almost certainly a record out there of what this guy felt was so potentially dangerous he needed to delete it.
It could be as simple as backing one position while hunky marvey Obama was advocating it but snearing and wagging his tongue if Trump did the same thing
I remember this also.
At any rate, internet is essentially forever. Deletion is only a band aid if one is fearful of internet stuff.
