Trump’s war with Twitter is a big sign that he’s worried

The accusation is baseless. It has been investigated and dismissed. And Ms Klausutis’s widower has pleaded with Trump to cease the attack. But he hasn’t.

The US has been ravaged by COVID-19 and Donald Trump’s handling of the crisis has been widely criticised. Picture: AFP“This is how a thug acts. But it’s also how Trump works to deflect public attention from his historically inept presidency,” Scott Martelle“He creates controversies, then turns them into us-vs-them fights to keep his base engaged and his critics outraged. In a divided country Trump makes the divide the issue, at the expense of the public wellbeing.

That’s despite only 26 per cent of Americans having an account themselves, and just 30 per cent of that cohort – roughly eight per cent of the population – following Trump. “Few Americans see or read his tweets directly, but many ultimately hear about them via media coverage or other means.” If he is challenged by fact-checking on the social media platform, it could diminish the distribution of those messages during the upcoming campaign.Twitter isn’t just a vehicle for Trump to distract, attack and control the narrative.

“In any case, the Republicans now have little choice but to double down on their far-right vision of America, using voter suppression to eke out more wins in the Electoral College,” Associate Professor Opal said.

Yeah right.

I don’t think he is worried at all

Another sign is when he starts ranting about Hillary Clinton. Once he's starts that he spent and run out of ideas. Regression is an age related problem.

Good

Who are we to judge her!

We are watching Twitter destroy themselves in real time. They did it to themselves

Another fabulous piece of investigative journalism.

He's the only one that uses it. If it wasn't for realDonaldTrump no one would have heard of twitter anymore.

Say who. You? This is nothing more than 'Click Bait' rubbish. Report the facts, not the fiction. Stop promoting hate.

Seriously? 😂😂😂

How many times have they run of this claim? That Russia thing worked out well.........

Rubbish

Wait till Twitter blocks his account. The Trumpster will go right off.

Nah, dont reckon.

Seems like the world has two emperors now

Nah don’t reckon... people just don’t like being told what to do ... whether it be from potential prime minister’s & presidents or the 80% lefitist twitter crew ... .... jack and co muting his tweets will only steel the resolve of his supporter network...

Do you ever research anything? ...Imbecile

Mmm... bad journalism...

99 problems and Twitter ain’t one!!!

Yeah, Nah.

😂

THIS! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

Rubbish.

Yeah that’s not it.

Trump is not concerned in the slightest. Trump2020Landslide

Another big sign was the Semi Trailer load of Depends arriving at the back door of Mar-a-Lago. Alternatively another big sign is his lack of promoting polls saying how well he is doing. Then again another big sign.....

'Big bad Sign' literally a step away from just saying 'Orange man bad'

Trump signs executive order targeting social media companiesUS President Donald Trump has signed an executive order targeting social media companies, days after Twitter called two of his tweets "potentially misleading". Americans are rioting and people are dying but he’s spent the last 3 days focussed on a Twitter post being fact checked. He’s defending his right to lie not free speech, his post was neither altered nor deleted people were simply pointed towards some actual information. You can’t sue the phone companies for slanderous remarks made over the phone because they have no control over those. Social media companies, however, do control and monitor what is allowed on their platforms. Therefore they should be held liable just like any other publisher Trump has free speech but nobody else is allowed to have it.

Trump doesn't care if he wins his fight with Twitter, he just wants the battleTrump regularly issues dramatic and headline-grabbing threats that later come to nothing. More often than not, his goal is projecting an image of power rather than exercising it | OPINION Trump derangement, the awesome daily entertainment. See them froth at the mouth, especially the media 😁 Social media companies have been gaming their exemptions for years so it's about time something was done. Trump can't lose with this - either they leave him alone or he takes his content and followers somewhere else. So Knott when did you talk to the President? No you didn't you are such a great mind reader. Can you tell us what Trump is going to say tomorrow?

Donald Trump signs order targeting social media giants after fact-check spat with TwitterDonald Trump is on the warpath against Twitter after the platform labelled two of his tweets, on the increasingly contentious topic of mail-in voting, with fact-check notices. A man is asked to leave the bar. The man brings in the National Guard. Given that Mr Trump uses your platform as the basis for his communications to his base I would say you have the upper hand. Whoa
