Facebook's ban on US President Trump's Nazi-style political ads, comes after months of criticism aimed at the social media giant for allowing politicians to lie on its platform

US President Donald Trump speaks at his first re-election campaign rally in several months in the midst of the coronavirus disease outbreak, at the BOK Center in Tulsa, Oklahoma, US, June 20, 2020.

After taking the heat for several months for not marking political ads, social media giant Facebook finally banned US President Donald Trump’s campaign posts and advertisements on Monday, citing that the content was violating the company's policy against hate. Trump's campaign featured an upside-down red triangle symbol used by the Nazis in the decades leading up to the Jewish Holocaust and World War II. The inverted triangle is meant to identify Trump's political opponents.: "Our policy prohibits using a banned hate group's symbol to identify political prisoners without the context that condemns or discusses the symbol," to NPR over the banning of the president's campaign post.

The ad called for every American to send a united message suggesting that no one will stand for their radical actions any longer.. After 1939, coloured inverted triangle symbols had started to be used by SS guards which enabled them to identify the alleged grounds for incarceration. The President of the United States is campaigning for reelection using a Nazi concentration camp symbol.Trump & the RNC are using it to smear millions of protestors.

With No Final Say, Trump Wants To Change Who Counts For Dividing Up Congress' SeatsPresident Trump is signing a memorandum today that calls for unauthorized immigrants to be excluded from census numbers used to divide seats in Congress. But Trump doesn't have final authority over the census — and it's likely to spur legal challenges. Republicans will trample the Flag to reach the Constitution and they will burn both to maintain minority rule. The GOP is now being forced to choose between democracy or power and their decision is obvious. They are using fascism to attack democracy. “Unauthorized” 😂 you mean illegal. Why would a person not in our country legally have a right to be represented? OH WAIT I know. Leftist ideologues don’t care about them, they just want their number. So weird how no sitting Democrat president has disagreed with trump on this. US Constitution Trump memorandum
