Even Donald Trump's campaign is fed up with his tweets

If you've noticed a moderated tone to Donald Trump's Twitter account in recent days, that's because his own campaign is apparently no longer allowing him use it on his own.

The revelation is included in a New York Times story, published on Sunday, that dives in to the chaotic final days of Trump's campaign: "Aides to Mr. Trump have finally wrested away the Twitter account that he used to colorfully — and often counterproductively — savage his rivals."

The Times story even relates how Trump dictated a tweet to campaign spokesperson Hope Hicks, who then edited Trump's proposed tweet and published it herself. 

Here's the tweet as sent by Hicks. 

Trump has made no secret that some of his tweets are sent by his staff while others are sent personally by him, previously saying that he dictated tweets during the day but personally sent them out after around 7 p.m. 

His Twitter account has always been a source of controversial comments, even before Trump began his campaign for president. 

But he's upped the ante since announcing his candidacy in June 2015, even lashing out at high-profile members of his own party.

Publications like the Times and even this one have kept tabs on the insults Trump has hurled from his account. And, according to the new Times story, the move to take control of his Twitter account away was an effort to soften his image heading into Election Day: "Taking away Twitter turned out to be an essential move by his press team, which deprived him of a previously unfiltered channel for his aggressions."

Mashable has reached out to Hicks in regards to the report. 

Perhaps no incident, though, underscores the way in which his incessant tweeting has endangered his campaign as his early morning attack on former Miss Universe Alicia Machado. Trump sent out several insulting tweets about Machado in the wee hours of the morning on Sept. 30, 2016. 

So while all eyes are on his account to see what he'll tweet next, there's no word on when, exactly, he'll get control of the account back.
