The reason for the act is Trump's tendency to delete tweets with foolish typos, poor judgment, and dumb statements. Sean Spicer announced in a press release that Trump's Tweets are "official White House statements," therefore fall under the 1978 Presidential Records Act. This means all his tweets must be preserved and none can be deleted. We have seen how his tweets have seriously impacted diplomacy, Wall Street, and domestic issues. They are official to all who hear them. And the courts have taken Trump's tweets seriously, using them in rulings against his proposed travel ban.

The Communications Over Various Feeds Electronically for Engagement (COVFEFE) Act, which will update the law to include social media. The National Archives and Records Administration has already instructed the Trump administration to keep records of all tweets, but the COVFEFE Act would update the law to confirm the National Archives and Records Administration’s guidance.

“If the President is going to take to social media to make sudden public policy proclamations, we must ensure that these statements are documented and preserved for future reference,” Quigley said in his statement. “Tweets are powerful, and the President must be held accountable for every post.”

The National Archives and Record Administration instructed the Trump administration to preserve all of Trump’s tweets, including the deleted ones. Archivist of the United States David Ferriero wrote a letter to respond to questions from two senators, saying the White House had told him they were preserving the records.

The law’s predecessor, the Presidential Recordings and Materials Preservation Act, placed former President Richard Nixon’s records into federal custody post-Watergate to ensure he did not destroy records from his administration. (Some good deal of irony there.)

Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington, a government watchdog group, has raised concerns that the Trump administration is not properly maintaining its records. Reports that Trump aides are using encrypted apps to conceal their internal communications in violation of the PRA are also raising questions.

I don't think that even Trump supporters think about Trump as much you do Dr. Gross.

Is that what you do all day ?

You should try fishing or plant yourself a garden.

You can come on down here to Comanche County and I'll let you hang out at my Sweetwater Creek camp.

But if you don't get Trump off of your brain you're gonna burst a blood vessel in that pea sized noggin of yours.

You poor dumb................. Spook !!
