Hey Trump...Please slither back under the rock that you came from!

He didn’t start any war unlike Bush and Clinton but will end it up on its own soils -boomerang

Lol when this happens in the US it’s called riot while in Hong Kong it’s called fighting for freedom, impressive

Haven't you done enough damage to the world!

He's the same arsehole he always was. Whatever happened to freedom of speech?

Spoken like a true leader 🙄

He's looking for an excuse to enforce martial law

And with that tweet,he got slapped by Twitter with glorifying violence

Surely he knows yanks have weapons themselves for the very reason hes threatening

Far out seriously....

He’s right. Violence begets violence.

Trump inciting paybacks and violence in a country already torn apart from racism, guns, violence and wrongful deaths in custody of African Americans. HTTA. ICantBreath TrumpMeltdown GeorgeFloyd TrumpIsANationalDisgrace TrumpTweetsReported

So it’s not police brutality. Police in Minneapolis are centrainly more violent than HK police.

Did he tweet that Sounds a tad threatening eh

Yep.. Problem Guns is your answer.. Americans Normal Comacho/Sure2020

He’s the worst person I know

He just gave permission to slaughter!

Please refer to him as impeached president realDonaldTrump instead of US President as his republican scumbags violated the US constitution to vote him out of office in spite of him breaking every rule in the book.

No one born for criminals. Something goes wrong

Well, there is the 2nd amendment . There's that...

so is he going to tell the troops to shoot their own countrymen? what's the difference between him/US and CCP. Hope he would shown exit door in the next election

Yep, that should calm things down!

Typical, all quiet until large corporations are affected.

Inciting violence is not a great look from realDonaldTrump . This is not how a president should lead.

Okay, Hong Kong Police has taken the Democratic Leader’s order: Looting starts, shooting starts! Thanks Mr. President.

If it was white people rioting you'd be screaming for the army to roll in.

I'd call his bluff and get a bonfire going in the CBD

Is this an order from Trump that will allow police and military to shoot to kill in these protests against the murder of a negro citizen? No attempt to have the killing and killer brought to justice...

We didn't start the fire It was always burning Since the world's been turning We didn't start the fire…

And here it comes.. the civil unrest. Trump will leave office in November leaving America a burning, diseased carcass of a former world leader. Putin will be so pleased with his puppet.

lmfao and they're still focusing on criticizing China's handling of hongkong protest.

in 2016 alone Obama dropped 26,171 bombs. That is 72 bombs every day. He bombed the poorest people on earth, in Afghanistan, Libya, Yemen, Somalia, Syria, Iraq, Pakistan.

Biased news reporting from the far left SBS.

Time to restore Law and Order

Says the biggest looter in history.

They are called rioters, arsonists and looters. Trump is right to restore order.

This threat sounds like it has more than enough grounds to get it reported to Twitter as a threatening or inciting violence post......If enough people report this.....

The next American civil war is about to start. Just watch what China and Russia do.

It's really white Antifa that are doing most of the property damage. The blacks are actually trying to make them stop.

The barbarians are burning buildings. What a bunch of thugs. How is criminal behaviour going address any situation. Bring in the army.

realDonaldTrump is a dangerous psychopath who is determined to kill as many Americans as he can by November so he gets re-elected. It started with 100,000+ from Covid and now telling armed personell to shoot Americans!

Says the draft dodger!

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

Allies blast Donald Trump's murder conspiracy theoryProminent Republicans and usually supportive media outlets have criticised Trump for spreading unfounded conspiracy theories about the death of a Florida woman. The same medical examiner who got caught with human body parts in a storage locker. The same one who lost their license in 1998. Hey it worked with pizzagate. Obviously there does need to be an investigation and see if Joe played any part on this.

New Twitter fact-check feature ‘pushing anti-Trump political spin’ | Sky News AustraliaSky News host Chris Kenny says a “fascinating new battlefront” has emerged when it comes to “fake news” and the ongoing mainstream media campaign targeting US President Donald Trump.\n\nSocial Networking service Twitter has now added fact-check warnings to Donald Trump’s Tweets, something the president says is an infringement on free speech. \n\nMr Kenny said the feature “claims to be sending people to relevant facts” but instead “it sends them to a fact check by CNN and other left-of-centre and anti-Trump organisations”. \n\n“Of course, Trump's claims about the risk of fraud and political skulduggery are absolutely valid”. \n\n“So when Twitter tries to steer people to the facts it is not defeating Fake News, it is favouring one angle of political spin over another angle of spin”. \n\nMr Kenny also said the fact-check feature could be used on Australia’s national broadcaster considering the ABC got “Brexit wrong, the Trump election wrong” and the last federal election result wrong too. \n\n“This sudden interest in fact checking is fascinating isn't it.\n\n“They only love it when it is turned against Trump, and in favour of the green Left”. \n\nImage: AP realDonaldTrump This is worrying! I call for realDonaldTrump to deregister Twitter if they continue to “misbehave”. At least suspend it until the election is over! Cop that for fairness!! realDonaldTrump Sky News host Chris Kenny is nothing more than a pair of legs emerging from Trump's arse, he has crawled so far up there. realDonaldTrump RACIST FALUN GONG CULT WHO BELIEV BLACK PEOPLE ARE AN ABOMINATION FORGOTTEN BY THE GODS & MIXED MARRIED PEOPLE SHOULD BE ERADICATED SUPPORT TRUMP'S CAMPAIGN.
