Kids for the most part arent seriously affected

How many kids have contracted covid19 ? How many of those developed serious conditions?

Punish Trump by deleting his Twitter and Facebook 30 days before election.

How long until FTC FEC get involved in this election meddling?

Why not sell Twitter & Facebook to fox news

The best way to stop a farce like the MAGA GOP is to not accept its false information. Wear a mask. Help all Americans to vote safely. =

The real headline; CCP backed tech companies who also own our news media, attack Trump by silencing his account online, because he is bringing back american business from China by lowering our corporate tax rate. We are in a war, but the media has declined to mention that.

It has been stated at several times by several people that kids are not very good transmitters for the virus, they don’t become ill if at all and it doesn’t usually transmit via children. It’s been stated at round tables inc. Birx & other doctors. Many of us watch ALL events

It is truly incredible that it needs private companies to regulate the wrongdoing of POTUS, where is “checks and balances”?

30 out of 326,000,000 = almost immune. Source WSJ 7/13/20

Sweden never shut down the schools, and they had no deaths from the students or teachers.

The CDC director is saying the same thing every day.

I’m confused. You can just look at the numbers yourself and see that he’s correct.

Thank you!! TrumpVirus TrumpIsNotWell

That is disgusting....trump and Fox News is trying to kill our children and grandchildren...what low life’s.

Why do you get punished for telling the truth in 2020 and who the fuck are these people that are handing out the punishments

So when is Twitter going to likewise punish Elon Musk for tweeting how kids are essentially immune? He tweeted this to 36M followers, many of whom consider him to be a genius.

They really don’t want truth to get out.

Breaking News: A major breakthrough will be announced in two weeks Many are saying it’s been discovered that there are people who are immune - seems they don’t have bellybuttons, and they plan on being write- in candidates for president; so, a few questions are being asked..

Trump 2020 is going to happen! Ty median

People know how bias the media is - it will prove so in November! Trump2020

Radio: The government is using scare tactics to make us wear a mask. Television: We must all wear a mask. Computer: Doctors say we don't need to wear a mask. Television: Politicians say we must wear a mask. Computer: Scientists say wear a mask. Pentagon: The hell if we know dude.

Twitter is about to get shutdown. Thin ice

This is why trump will win again... the media tries to hurt to ruin him

less than 80 little tards have died of covid while 500 die from the yearly flu. Where is he wrong? Juice media all over this.

How you get banned from Twitter 😂😂😂

Where is it said that realDonaldTrump is not right? These two Internet Actors better be kind because I am in negotiations with his people about developing a new version of Twitter called Trumpster ...

Trust but verify. Good luck verifying a statement like almost definitely immune.

I would trust President Trump much more than Facebook or Twitter! What do you say? They are always selling out & being breached!

And Biden should call him out from the beginning of the debates if Trump lies, which we know Trump will do. If he insists on continuing his lies, Biden should refuse to debate him anymore, and say clearly why.

punish Trump? interesting inflammatory choice of words. quietly removed misleading info from their privately owned platforms would suffice.

He’s right of course LiberalismIsAMentalDisorder

Really‼️just imagine that 😳

Election interference

Dayum!

We have not seen any line running against him have this happen. Probably because their campaigns aren’t run by unqualified clowns.

It’s all CCP’s tricks; CCP must be sanctioned, otherwise the world is a terrorist attack

Can’t wait for his tantrum.... better watch out Twitter, man already threatening TikTok.

Ban all of his accounts.

Time to fine the CEOs everytime they falsely censor potus. Election Interference. $100 million per instance.

California high tech companies...

Shall we look at the data?

This maniac doesn’t care if your children die. DEAD. Bury your children. For him. All for him.

and because of this:

Bye boi

In case anyone needs to hear it. Trump is not a doctor and has no medical training. Please consult a physician for heath matters. Especially when it concerns your children.

Democrats are really getting close to their socialist dream

F twitter.

Thank you TwitterComms

You mean he said the same thing Elon musk did?

Good job. We have to protect our children from misinformation no matter where it comes. This is important. ProtectOurKids

Yaaay!! Accountability! Hope there’s more to come

parscale Nice job, Brad. No wonder you got fired.

Facebook and Twitter have changed the definition of 'almost' to now mean 'ABSOLUTELY'

Children get mild cases!

Yup, how dare he speak the truth 🤦🏻‍♂️

Is it untrue?

Show me the bodies of children who’ve died from coronavirus. There are none. Otherwise that’s all you guys would report on lol

Thought that one was an SBD

He’s not wrong.
