“But we don’t do that with Twitter, right?” Mr Trump said.
“We put it out instantaneously, we feel great, and then you start getting phone calls: ‘Did you really say this?’”
Mr Trump said more often than not, “it’s the retweets that get you in trouble”.
He added: “You see something that looks good and you don’t investigate.”
Among other things, Mr Trump has been criticised in recent months for retweeting posts with “white power” and anti-Semitic messages as well one that included a “FireFauci” hashtag, referring to Dr Anthony Fauci, the nation’s top infectious disease expert.
