Tweets themselves are "official statements" on his behalf but do not constitute an executive action and have no legal standing in terms of policy creation. Judges have referred to them, however, to establish context for his implementation of policy ( i.e. interpreting his EO as discriminatory based on statements he tweeted related to it). 

Got it.  Thanks.
