Twitter has labelled two of Donald Trump's tweets 'potentially misleading' in a first for the social media network which has long resisted calls to censure the US President over his frequent abuse, insults and false claims.

Twitter on Tuesday for the first time prompted readers to check the facts in tweets sent by US President Donald Trump, warning readers his claims about mail-in ballots were false and had been debunked by fact-checkers.

A Twitter spokesperson told CNBC that the tweets “contain potentially misleading information about voting processes and have been labeled to provide additional context around mail-in ballots.”

Trump x train Sea of Red November Tsunami!!!!!

Only POTENTIALLY misleading because so many of us know he is full of it.

Now kick him off twitter until after the election.

Good news! Opinion is fine. That’s free speech but Trumps blatant lies are a misuse of the power of his office and harmful to the rest of the world.

SBS lol well that didnt age well! Its being fact checked by CNN and they have just charged a man for mail in voter fraud.

More anti-Trump rhetoric from the Communist network

Twitter has just self inflicted it’s Death Warrant !

Twitter had better pray he doesn’t get re elected.

The tide finally starts to turn against Trump and his constant lies.

Probably fact checking should be done by impartial news outlets than CNN.

Great but when they leave other marginal Tweets from him unchallenged it gives them credence to those without critical thinking skills.

Understatement of the century! All of Trumps Tweets are misleading 🤨

Celebrity chef Pete Evans ‘defies logic’ and should know better: AMAEmbattled celebrity chef Pete Evans is peddling “misleading” claims about vaccinations that “defy logic” and he must be challenged, a top doctor has said. Anyone can see that what he sprouts is nothing but rubbish. His wife has chemicals in her body from plastic surgery. I thought he didn’t consider himself an anti-vaxxer instead calling himself pro-choice. He looks sick 🤢
