Donald Trump's typo-laden social media posts have often been the subject of ridicule, so it might come as a surprise to some that he isn't the candidate deleting the most tweets. That award goes to Bernie Sanders.
Sanders deleted 58 tweets between January and March 4, although The Hill clarifies that in many cases "he just deleted retweets of others' social media posts." That being said, at least two of Sanders' tweets involved more major errors: one mistakenly called a list of nouns "adjectives" while another contained a misquote of Killer Mike.
John Kasich also deletes a large number of tweets, 31, with Donald Trump only recording 28 deletions in the same time period. However, some of Trump's deletions were the most glaring of all, such as when he quietly got rid of a retweet of a user with the handle "@WhiteGenocideTM."
