When asked if he ever regrets tweets that he has sent, President Trump replied, "Often, too often."

In an interview with Dave Portnoy, president of Barstool Sports, Trump said that he often wishes that he hadn't sent certain tweets.


"We put it out instantaneously. We feel great, and then you start getting phone calls, 'Did you really say this?'" he added. "You know what I find; it's not the tweets, it's the retweets that get you in trouble."


Then why does he do it?

He;s got the social media impulse control of a 13 year old girl.

I really wish he would have a twitter handler with decent judgement. He can still tweet but take a few minutes to have someone provide input first.

Trump tweeting shows he’s far more honest than any politician we may ever see. It keeps him accountable. We lose a lot when we get a world leader afraid to tweet.

That interview with El Pres was excellent. Very smart move on the part of the campaign to allow that interview to happen.

Nothing you quoted indicates regret.

If you destroy this country because of mean things Trump tweets you deserve the country you'll get.

I want him to continue as is. All these decades we’ve never had a Republican President who challenged anyone in the media. That’s because they were all of the deep state ( except RR). Now we do.

Because he is a spoiled, impulse-driven child in the body of an adult man.

If he regrets them why doesn't he delete or apologize for the ones he wishes he hadn't sent?

He said they are retweets that get him not his actual tweets

He does it because 95% of his tweets are super solid. The point on retweets is dead on.

So Obama and his team of lowlifes spied on my campaign, and got caught - Open and shut case! More papers released today which are devastating to them. Will they ever pay the price? The political Crime of the Century!

Weird because I don’t regret any of his tweets.

Only a very stable genius could have discerned this lofty principle.

Because it's served him well.

Look. I used to think he shouldn't Tweet but, IMV, he's President today BECAUSE of this style.

If I had been his campaign manager, we probably have Hillary Clinton as President right now.

So, it's basically one of those conundrums
