President Donald Trump on Monday said he does not regret one of his 43,000 tweets but admitted some of his retweets could be a problem.

A retweet is a repost of another user's tweet on your own profile on the social media platform Twitter.

"Not much, honestly not much," Trump said when C-SPAN political editor Steve Scully asked whether he regretted any tweets. "I sent the one about the 'wiretapping' . . . and that turned out to be true."

"A lot of the times the bigger problem is the retweets," he continued. "You know, you retweet something that sounds good, but it turns out to be from a player that's not the best player in the world. And that sort of causes a problem."

The president also categorized his tweets as a way to defend himself against bias in the news media.

"If I got fair coverage, I wouldn't even have to tweet," Trump said. "It's my only form of defense.

"If the press covered me fairly, I wouldn't need that. But they don't cover me fairly," he continued, citing coverage of a protester who disrupted one of his recent speeches.
