Trump's handlers want to start vetting his tweets so they 'don't go from the president's mind out to the universe'

The Trump administration is looking for ways to recalibrate its affairs back home as President Donald Trump ends his first foreign trip as a head of state.

U.S. President Donald Trump speaks during an interview with Reuters in the Oval Office of the White House in Washington, U.S., April 27, 2017.

Among measures being considered, like holding fewer press briefings, White House aides have discussed the possibility of reining in Trump's social-media activity, The Wall Street Journal reported Friday.

Trump's tweets have become something of a modern-day fireside chat — the words often come unfiltered, directly from the president. Those words, however, have become something of a liability, according to officials cited in The Journal.

James Comey better hope that there are no 'tapes' of our conversations before he starts leaking to the press," Trump said in a tweet, days later.
