Re-writing previous news was Winston Smith's job at MiniTru in "1984". The Trump admin (probably not Trump himself, he doesn't seem to care enough about "gotchas") deletes history to allow Republicans to criticize completely anodyne announcements made by a politician they hate. Really and truly Orwellian, but it also puts lie to Republicans using "orwellian" as a negative adjective, now that they've done it themselves. Republicans engage in duckspeak in its most orwellian form.
