The status in this example is a retweet, and the text for retweets will be truncated to 140 characters even after including tweet_mode=extended. The full text of the original tweet is in the retweeted_status field of the JSON response. Here's what you want:
let text = status["retweeted_status"]["full_text"].
Keep in mind that you should still include tweet_mode=extended in your request.
