U.S. President Donald Trump on Wednesday threatened to 'strongly regulate' or even shut down social media platforms after Twitter applied a fact-check to two of his tweets this week.

SHAREU.S. President Donald Trump on Wednesday threatened to close down social media platforms after Twitter labelled two of his tweets "unsubstantiated" and accused him of making false claims.

In response, Trump fought back, tweeting that "Republicans feel that Social Media Platforms totally silence conservatives voices. We will strongly regulate, or close them down, before we can ever allow this to happen." The notice tagged to Trump's tweets read "Trump falsely claimed that mail-in ballots would lead to 'Rigged Election'Trump aimed the misleading tweets at California, contending wrongly that anyone living in the state would be sent ballots when in fact they will only go to registered voters, according to the notice.

Very good and i hope he succeeds tired of these hypocrite and fake news from these left wing Democrats and the media disgraceful bunch

😂

Would anyone actually miss him

So Censorship one must wonder if he has actually read the constitution because it seems he just wipes his ass with it

This moron really does think being president of the USA means he’s god.

Happy that he can't do it !!!!!!!

But our PM shuts down democracy, and no outrage.

He’s such a big cry baby 😭

He will not do that because he lives for it! He may try to restrict it making comments on his tweets.

We need to end censorship in social media. Its always one side that gets censored and not the other. Especially on Twitter.

Nothing like a God Complex to make the world go round and round!!!!

He wouldn't do that. He'd be losing his own best platform for spewing his bullshut

He has nothing better to do or what?

BS. Twitter is Trump’s biggest asset.

Why does any media even cover Dipstick Don the tinpot Twit who would be king.

Free speech is only for good for matured people.

Asshole

He’s really losing it!! 100K Americans dead on his watch. realDonaldTrump is just trying to deflect. People will not forget! VoteThemAllOut2020 TrumpMeltdown TrumpDeathToll100K

What a maroon.

So much for free speech in the free world.

go live in N Korea

Can’t twitter ban Orange Monkey permanently eh.

Needs a crying towel. Poor baby.

Seig heil!!!

Lol what a dictator, when did americans like a totalitarian leader?

No wonder you got so many dictators as your friends.

Does that mean we don’t have to listen to his BS any more?

Commie!🖕🖕

Kim dung trump

OMG 😲

Good

I wish he would shut down his twitter account then we won’t have to see his nonsense anymore.

If you can use free speach to spread lies Moron - free speach can call you on it.

The first amendment means Twitter is protected from trump.

Twitter Facebook YouTube are shutting down Conservative speech Twitter fact checking with CNN & nytimes GIVE ME A BREAK

Hurry up and close down.

POTUS should probably just create their own platform to message ppl.

All I picture is him as a child kicking and screaming on the floor ....

The truth hurts y’all lmaorof he’s gotta go run to an other platform that won’t fact check his verbal garbage

😿😿😿🤥🤥🤥

the BABY has to change the rules to meet his needs. Lets see the evidence to support your posts

Funny how the guy that enforces these rules and is considered Twitter’s “Head of Site Integrity” Yoel Roth, can call people Nazis and such, but voter fraud in mail in voting is considered a banned offense

Lmfao whatever!

ban him from twitter lol.

The media is supposed to be unbias. It hasn't for a long time.

“I’m gonna take my ball and go home” said the six year old

Grow up you baby.

Kim Jong Trump

He doesn't like being found out.

DO IT! I Dare You!

I wouldn't support mail in voting

Baby doesn't like the truth being told .

There is one thing I’ve learned from being on social media for so long, you.don’t.mess.with.the.internet. If he does this, oh dear. Oh dear lords it will not end well.

Do you think that about 250 millions Americans will accept that ? No more Facebook,Twitter ect ect I don’t think so and Trump knows better.

Violence against children is not checked on Twitter and suddenly they are fact checking trump. Biased bastards . They are big brother but of course the clueless masses will always think that they are the ones promoting freedom. History repeats. They deserve to lose their rights

What’s the difference between China now?

SO FUCKING DO IT TRUMP. ALL YOU DO IS SIT AND WATCH WHILE EVERYONE GETS CENSORED BY THISE CCP LOVING BASTARDS. ALL TALK AND NO ACTION.

He’ll do the reich thing

Remember that the 1933 Hitler’s Nazi regime through a series of corrupt politics events took to troll of the radio, newspapers, & printing presses to control the press of the day. So in 2020 through a series of corrupt events realDonaldTrump sets the stage to control the press

The only way he's closing it down is if they ask him to operate it. He'll bankrupt them in no time.

Wrong Headline! Social Media Twitter, YouTube, Facebook, et al., have been the ones acting like TYRANTS. They are censoring content and gaming their systems to highlight their narrative. Freedom of speech is being threatened and Liberals cheer.

That makes me laugh! 🤣

hahahaha what a moron

He's not closing anything down. He will however put them in fucking line!

Well what do you expect ? He's just a spoiled 13 yr old girl in an old man's body . ( when I say old , he's 73 and I'm 71 ! lol )

f**kTrump

Every social media platform monitors and removes (blocking) freedom of speech. Blocking followers to view posts Removing accounts, crying bias' Fakenews (FB) is a major player Twitter slows the waves This is already happening, freedom of speech isn't free.

And you believe him... CTV is back to its stupid Conservative conspiracies I see...

haaaaaahahahaha

Blah blah blah. Crazy man living in his delusions.

He never said 'close it down', he said regulate social media to enforce 1st A protections.

As you can see this man is clearly intellectually superior.

I would love to see him try to shut down free speech. That would be great for his re election campaign lol

Why didn't Twitter fact check tweets about Russian Collusion? Why didn't Twitter fact check tweets about the Steele Dossier? Why didn't Twitter fact check tweets about the Ukraine Hoax? Why didn't Twitter fact check tweets about the impeachment scam?

Close it all and give us a trump network. Trump is god we should only have trump feeds , trump t.v , trump music , only eat what supreme leader eats , poop when he poops bow to the king 🤴, wow america someone shot john lennon in new york , when america when!

He’s going to try and be a dictator now lol

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 fucking crazy liars !!!

Trump needs jail time. ✊

They want to act like publishers they should have to follow the same laws. They chose to change their venue so can't hide any longer from the repercussions.

Not a single reference to be able to actually watch/read what he actually said. FakeNews

Give er

These 'media platforms' should have started tagging questionable content back in 2015.

Omg lol

Loser

Good! Less fake news to worry about!

Because the MORONIC realDonaldTrump cant understand the DIFFERENCE between being FACTCHECKED and suppressing Free Speech. If he didnt LIE so much it wouldnt be issue

If they're going to start controlling what we say, shut them down.

How about we close him & his ridiculous tweets down!

Trump knows he is in the U.S. and not in China doesn’t he?

A mad dog

What? Lol

Oh my Goodness Gracious. What will the Canadians do now ?

Let’s close down Trump!! We had enough of him!!

oh jesus.... Trump has been spending too much time making out with Kim Jong-Un

We all know trump is a liar... what we should be fact checking is Rebel media, or the Sun

Trumper tantrum over facts... the USA is a cartoon country

It's about time Twitter acted. I suspect 'closing down' social media platforms will backfilre on Mr. 45

He'll never shut TWITTER down. Hope would he spread his LIES, INSULTS and HATRED if it wasn't for that and other media?

What next... honest to God he’s a tyrant.

Twitter enjoys section 230 immunity under the communications decency act as long as they are platforms. Once they start removing content they don't like they become publishers and should no longer receive immunity under the act.

SUCK!

Platform or Publisher?

America is now ruled by a dictator! Wow

He's a dictator

😂😂😂😂😂

He’ll be the biggest loser if he no longer has a virtual voice.

Stable genius

Is twitter a platform or a publisher? The former guarantees free speech. If it's the latter with the introduction of fact check, what is the extent of its fact-check definition and does it act in an objective manner?

He’s a men, he s not a king 👑

You have no power here...be gone.

Awww! Sounds like he's missing his pacifier and need his Depends changed. 🙄😋

I love all the people here saying 'Yeah, right!'. Social media is protected from legal action by Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act because they're considered platforms and not publishers - like AT&T isn't liable for the content on its phone lines. ++

It’s about time Twitter did something. He’s been getting away with too many lies.

🥱🥱🥱🥱🤐🥱🥱🥱🥱

All because he just loves this Real President.

Such a baby

His? Perfect 👍

do it. I dare you trump

The big baby doesn't like it when he's called out on his LIES DonaldTrump FactsMatter FactCheckTrump FactCheck

He should just close his account...

Man claims twitter is stifling free speech Responds by threatening to stifle free speech

I’m of the opinion that next wave or pandemic that yes we shut down all social media platforms and do what we would have done 20 years before if this had happened. Talk to our doctors and listen to their advice...

Good luck !

😳😏😄🤣🤣🤣

yeah good luck with that. ain't gonna happen anytime soon

Twitter fact-checks Trump tweet for the first timeSocial-media platform says U.S. President made false claims about mail-in ballots If there’s one organization I want to place my faith in determining what is and isn’t reality it’s a group of people working for a massive corporation Good luck to them if they try to keep up with his loose interpretation of the facts. Just before the election campaign gets on it's way. Twitter has the reputation of the platform of liars. Has to do something before people start leaving for other platforms. It is no longer profitable to have Trump lying at will.
