If President Trump is so angry with Twitter, why doesn’t he get off it? 🤔

👏👏👊👊Thank You Twitter for doing this.

LadyReverbs Any chance they hide Donald instead and leave the tweet up..it will be worth the pain...

Has he actually come out and comdemned those policemen

👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

Good job Twitter, best way to address a bully is head on. Block all his and his campaign Tweets. Let’s see how he gets his “fake” propaganda across to his followers.

at last well done twitter

That’s because he is the devil and incites this violence

I quit Facebook today and dusted off my twitter account. F*ck Mark Zuckerberg.

I’m starting to think that Donald Trump might be a bad person.

We the USA are becoming a laughing stock a sad pathetic joke in the eyes of the world.

Hide 'em all. I have.

Good!

Good!!!

I reported that tweet earlier today. Is there any way we can report this racist guy in the WH? Minneapolis

Good! Ban him

HIDES It wasn't hidden. It was there for everyone to see. They removed it with explanation. Executive Order 'Burger King' has ZERO power.

trump quoting from a racist Miami police chief from the 60s. What A Surprise... Not...

Good - it is about time to get some fact checked

Good for him, it’s clear the mayor can’t handle these events so the National guard is required, secondly these “protesters” don’t care about George Floyds Death, it’s not like the cop that killed him got away with it, he was instantly fired and put under criminal investigation.

Finally. Someone needs to censor this man.

miqdaad To be fair, Trump isn't 'glorifying' violence... He's encouraging it!

our country is on fire now 40 million unemployed Americans starving and losing their homes at record levels and trump is still now finished destroying us

it will only get worse TWITTER if you don't remove this monster now he is a dangerous psychopath and WILL destroy your company I bet you know that now though

Doctor Trump is a big idiot...very...very...very...big!!!!!!!!!!

Twitler is not going to like that..

Finally, Twitter is getting a grip... about time!! Twitter realDonaldTrump TrumpMeltdown

Trump's social weapon of mass disinformation begins to boomerang leaving him isolated and dangerously dependent upon his foul mouthpiece, Foxfamily. Ironically, Trump's crackdown might help restore credibility of twitter that was badly compromised by his unsavoury association.

It really does look like they are trying to censor him

PatC63316307 Why don’t they just ban him.

The people supporting the rioters are glorifying violence as well.

About time the social media stand up against this moron lying and his radicals supporters.

realDonaldTrump you mad?

Excellent!

Dorsey had the guts and courage that republicans don’t. Bunch of useless lacays.

Fvck that POS 🤡

Silencing Trump and other racist liars is long, long, long overdue. The downward spiral of hate and violence, and the undermining of democracy, will continue until social media clean up their platforms.

This is going to be fun to watch! Trump being treated like teenage a troll on the arena of his choosing.

Twitters days are coming to an end

The crime is him!

Hey Twitter, jack why is Kathy Griffin still on here ?

We have similar here! A protest march is planned in London, the Met Police say they will come down hard on those that break the rule. That's hoping they remember Ian Tomlinson? I wonder do politicians remember Ian Tomlinson?

He gonna blow

So when the judge says to the criminal change your ways or prison, is the judge glorifying crime? stupidity on show...

Twitter doesn't support free speech if they disagree with it. A bit like guardianistas!

Fake News as usual

Your site appears to be down. At least for me in the UK.

After the executive order? Bye bye birdie

The best thing Twitter could do. Stopping certain idiots - like Trump - convinced that they have absolute power and that they can say and do what they want, should become the norm, not an extraordinary situation.

Hay guardian what if a conservative ran twitter, 1 of your people posted sexcyactlly explicit stuff a few days ago, even worse, what if twitter had blocked that. Were all on the same playground.

keepgoingtwitter Twitter

One step closer to suspending his account. Smart. Good job twitter.

Not even twitter can hide Dominic Cummings DominicCummnings

Shhhhh hes currently sleeping

I see the comments under trumps twitter and they are so abusive. Why doesn't twitter stops that?

Go TRUMP , GO Jonhson !!!!

Most people woudl have their Twitter account cancelled for violent remarks like that. why is Trump different? It is shocking, really shocking. He must have lost his mind completely.

It's happened to many of us but watch Trump's tirade in a few hours. The country is burning, 20% unemployment, 100k virus deaths and Trump is gonna send out 20 tweets by noon to complain about getting slapped on the wrist by Twitter.

It's funny how Twitter select which tweet to censor when there's thousands of fake accounts using derogative language, racism and giving abuse on the daily basis and DOES NOTHING to stop them.

Twitter FUCKING FINALLY

Which is both false and terrifyingly dystopian when a billion dollar corporation is attempting to editorialize political statements.

Eventually, the President will get tired of being censored and will stop using Twitter. It is like being in a Facebook Group, and the moderators are removing or refusing to post your remarks

This needs fact checking: apparently the line “when the looting starts, the shooting starts” was made “famous” by a white supremacist sheriff in Miami. If true, the idiocy of trump using it to threaten people protesting a black man being killed by a cop is quite astonishing.

if a normal person did this they would be banned Twitter 25thAmendmentNow RESIGN realDonaldTrump gop LindseyGrahamSC SenateMajLdr SenateGOP GOPLeader HouseGOP VP PressSec WhiteHouse GOPChairwoman KellyannePolls FoxNews foxandfriends Jim_Jordan SecPompeo

It is alleged that Mr Trump was quoting a former police chief who in 1967 said “When the looting starts, the shooting starts,” . It is clear in my mind that when a government turns live ammunition on protestors its lost it right to govern !

So you all commenting agree with the violence

Bout time too. 👏

This guy is a di*k head

Well done jack stand up to this punk.

Someone got his mouth shut for a moment!

LOLOLOLOLOLOLOL

did Twitter just wake up? Where is it when this man is being a racist? why doesn't it 'flag' or hide those racist tweets as discrimination as well?

Twitter is not backing down in its’ war with trump.

There are literally thousands of tweets right now calling for violence and Twitter isn't doing a damn thing to them. hypocrites

They won’t suspend his account though

This is the president of the United States.

This is playing right into Trumps hands, just before reelection. 'They are trying to silence me, he will cry', to his crazy brigade of followers, as he whips up fear and hatred...what a disaster for America...😕

There are very few people who make Boris look like he has morals, decency and intelligence. If I were Boris, I wouldn’t take that as a compliment.

At last, the noise was getting unbearable

Twitter is honestly just trolling him.

We urge the US to exercise restraint, refrain from violent law enforcement and respect the human rights of ethnic minorities. We are always concerned about the freedom of the American people. 🙏 Minneapolis USA

I took a screencap. Anyone want to see it?

Yeah but they will not lock his account.

Rules are rules for everyone, his comments are really a shame.

Well done Twitter jack
