I look for some unique phrasing and type it in exactly as it appears. I got no results. That doesn’t always indicate a fake; a deleted tweet will also give no results.

I just found out today about trumptwitterarchive.com. I think I’ll start there next time if it’s one of his.

This was supposedly tweeted back when their limit would have been 140 characters ... and the tweet is well longer than that.
