No Mike, we can read his tweet just fine. It says, "There is no longer a nuclear threat from North Korea." 10 words. Easy peasy. Certainly it communicated what he wanted to say at the moment he tweeted it. It was quite useful for a news cycle. Now you want to backpedal, dodge, duck, dip, dive and dodge. But the tweet's still there. Embarrassing, I should think.
