#Seriously? Trump tells German reporter he 'very seldom' regrets his tweets – and admits he uses Twitter to 'get around the media'

     President Donald Trump 'very seldom' regrets the tweets he sends out to his 27 million followers, the president revealed at a press conference Friday.
Approaching two months in office where he has repeatedly jolted convention and  upended the news with his online missives – often flitted out in the early hours of the morning – the president got asked about his Twitter habits while standing beside the staid German Chancellor Angela Merkel.
'And by the way my second question, are there from time to time tweets that you regret in hindsight?' asked the reporter from Germany's Die Welt.

THERE MUST BE SOMETHING? President Trump got asked at a press conference if he ever regretted tweets that he has sent out

     The reporter tried to follow up: 'Very seldom – so you never would have wished not to have ...'
'Very seldom,' Trump responded again. 'Probably wouldn’t be here right now. But every seldom,' he said, restating his view that eschews apologies of any kind.
Then he explained his Twitter penchant as a form of strategy to counter the press, who he derided Friday as 'fake news.'
'We have a tremendous group of people that listen and I can get around the media when the media doesn’t tell the truth, so I like that,' Trump explained.
Some of the gathered media might have been expecting Trump to express some sort of regret for his recent tweets about President Obama.
Trump earlier this month accused the president of tapping his phones at Trump Tower, making the unsubstantiated charge in a series of tweets.

WELL THERE WAS THAT ONE TIME ... Trump said he 'very seldom' regrets the tweets he sends out

AT LEAST IT'S NOT FAKE NEWS: Trump explained his Twitter strategy: 'We have a tremendous group of people that listen and I can get around the media when the media doesn’t tell the truth, so I like that'

NOT THIS ONE? Trump tweeted this month that President Obama tapped his phones, starting an uproar that followed him to his Friday press conference

Trump suggested Obama's unsubstantiated actions may have been illegal

     'How low has President Obama gone to tapp my phones during the very sacred election process. This is Nixon/Watergate. Bad (or sick) guy!' Trump wrote.
'Is it legal for a sitting President to be "wire tapping" a race for president prior to an election? Turned down by court earlier. A NEW LOW!' he wrote.
After getting pounded for putting out the charge, Trump demanded a congressional investigation. The Republican and Democratic heads of the House Intelligence Committee have since said there is no evidence that Trump or Trump Tower got tapped.
In another demonstration of how he is using Twitter to get around normal channels, Trump tweeted Friday: 'North Korea is behaving very badly. They have been "playing" the United States for years. China has done little to help!'
Such messages normally would have been handled by the State Department or delivered in a highly scripted format to send a message to a rogue state about its missile program.
