Hey, tweeters, re: MF45 - all his tweets before Dec. 10 of last year are gone - is this normal?

I don’t tweet myself, so maybe this is a common occurrence and I’m not familiar with it - ?

...anyway, the tweets before Dec. 10 on MFs regular (not WH) account are gone...I don’t think they are automatically deleted in any way, so just wondering what “real” tweeters think of this?

—-Thank you—-

Sounds like some staffer may be cleaning house since every time he does something, his own tweets from pre-2016 get tossed back in his face about how a president should or shouldn't so something.

I'm sure tons of reporters and mueller have them all.

There used to be an archive version somewhere but I think that's gone as the volume of tweets exploded.

scroll waaaay back in the past before...hell, at least I think I could?!

Yeah, I was in fact going to go looking for tweets wherein he says nice Cohen things, but “oh well” - I should be spending that time cleaning my kitchen instead, I guess! wannhh

Thank you!

Clicking on links works. This seems a great resource.

Depending on what happened to those tweets, there might be a heap o' trouble waiting for someone.
