President Donald Trump arrives in the early morning hours, Tuesday, Jan. 5, 2021, at the White House in Washington, after returning from a rally in Dalton, Ga. WASHINGTON -- Twitter banned U.S. President Donald Trump's account Friday, citing "the risk of further incitement of violence."
The social platform has been under growing pressure to take further action against Trump following Wednesday's deadly insurrection at the U.S. Capitol. Twitter initially suspended Trump's account for 12 hours after he posted a video that repeated false claims about election fraud and praised the rioters who stormed the Capitol.
Twitter's move deprives Trump of a potent tool he has used to communicate directly with the American people for more than a decade. He has used Twitter to announce policy changes, challenge opponents, insult enemies, praise his allies , and to spread misinformation.
Five people had to die in order for this to happen. Funny how quick things change when politicians experience an “active shooter” situation compared to kid’s experiencing it!!!
They're too late. The damage is done
How many times have lefties tweeted to kill Trump and they are still on Twitter?
Something they should have done months (years?) ago. ByeByeTrump
