Tweeters Skewer 'Feeble' Trump For Deleting Posts After Alabama Loss
The tweets may now be gone, but they are certainly not forgotten.
President Donald Trump deleted three embarrassing posts from his Twitter account on Tuesday night after the candidate he backed to claim Alabama’s GOP Senate nomination, Sen. Luther Strange, lost to Roy Moore.
ProPublica’s Politwoops noted Trump’s removal of the tweets, in which he’d claimed that Strange was “shooting up” in the polls since his presidential endorsement.

Tweeters were quick to call Trump out over his culling of the messages from his timeline. A sampling of the responses are below:

While Trump is deleting Luther Strange tweets he should do the world a favor & delete his account.

It's hilarious how feeble this is. Trump left up all his other Luther tweets, just not those from today/yesterday. https://t.co/PfjHXPQbiT

Someone deleted these Trump tweets tonight. The NFL tweets are still there, of course. Racism is fine. Backing a loser isn't. pic.twitter.com/mC5VtVSN5q
