Trump Aides Wanted Twitter To Put 15-Minute Delay On Trump’s Tweets
A recent YouTube video sheds light on a curious anecdote from Donald Trump's administration: his aides considered asking Twitter for a 15-minute delay on him tweeting. This idea emerged as a measure to allow his team a moment to review and possibly edit Trump's tweets before they went live. According to a New York Times report, the staff thought this could be beneficial to avoid the fallout from impulsive or inaccurate messages. Ultimately, they decided against the delay, fearing that the press and Trump himself would get wind of it, leading to potential backlash.
Interestingly, the video highlights an aspect of Trump's personality — his vanity. It was mentioned that Trump, now in his seventies, experiences difficulty seeing and opts to wear glasses. However, rather than be seen wearing them in public, he chooses to dictate his tweets to his communications director, Dan Scavino. Scavino often has to print out tweets in a larger font to accommodate Trump's eyesight, a fact that underscores the President's aversion to appearing frail in any way.
This anecdote raises several questions about the nature of political communication in the age of social media. If such delays had been implemented, could it have changed public perception of Trump's spontaneous tweets, or even his approval ratings? The discussion touches on vanity, the role of aides in managing a president's public persona, and the impact of social media on contemporary politics.
