There is no quote in the article in which the President indicates he “often” regrets tweets. The sentiment may be hinted at, but the quote marks are misleading.

I have been saying for a while the gate keeper before he hits send should be Melania. Happy Wife, Happy Life, and add to that someone from a former Soviet Block Country and the common sense they/she brings to the table.

Yeah, this doesn’t ring true to me.
IMO he doesn’t write half the tweets he sends.
He has someone on staff that does it.
When Dan Rather tweets about the insanity of 3am Tweets by the POTUS, Dan Rather is being fatuous.

I’ve stopped believing anything reported as news these days unless I hear it right from the source. Taking things out of contact also seem a favorite trick of the MSM.

No he didn’t; he said “You know what I find? It’s not the tweets, it’s the retweets that get you in trouble.”

More often then not, the reason I'm retweeting something is to share with my followers what some idiot is posting so they could get a good chuckle too.....

A small, but heavily publicized, number of his tweets have been defensive and personality based. He needs to tweet facts and issues. And make major policy speeches. He could learn from Ronald Reagan, the great communicator.

I don’t regret any of Trump’s tweets. If it can get a liberal’s blood pressure to blow an artery then more power to his tweets.

I don’t regret them either. Sounds like someone is telling him to tone things down. Don’t listen Mr.President. Amp it up.

I knew there had to be more to that story, after all it is T Hill and as far as I can tell they only exist to spread Democrat propaganda.

Well, I’m sure that President Trump (I never tire of saying that) is going to come to the FR to get advice on how to handle his tweets. “Tone it down”, from people who have never won an election to a single Office.

He knows he has every one of our votes locked-up.
So he is quite literally Schmoozing the Karens.

Hence the toned-down tweets and his sudden love of masks.
Learn to live with the heartburn like me. The important thing is Just Win, Baby!

RE:”There is no quote in the article in which the President indicates he “often” regrets tweets. The sentiment may be hinted at, but the quote marks are misleading.”

News break. Trump makes mistakes :

Q “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.”

A:”Often, too often,” Trump responded. “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.”
