Trump threatened to shut down social media after Twitter added a fact-check warning to his tweets about mail-in ballots. He's long accused social media of censoring conservative views, but it's unclear what he could do to crack down on social platforms.

President Trump, who uses Twitter as his primary form of communication, has long accused Facebook and Twitter of censoring conservative views.President Trump, who uses Twitter as his primary form of communication, has long accused Facebook and Twitter of censoring conservative views.Tensions between President Trump and Twitter escalated Wednesday as he threatened to"strongly regulate" or shut down social media platforms, which he accused of silencing conservative viewpoints.

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. We saw what they attempted to do, and failed, in 2016. We can’t let a more sophisticated version of that....

Trump, who uses Twitter as his primary form of communicating, has long accused Facebook and Twitter of censoring conservative views."We're not going to be silenced," he said last summer at

Take your ball and go home, Donald!

They should rub it at the bottom of the tv during all his speeches!

The only appropriate fake news is fake news from the president. 😞

Twitter and JTUBE Facebook are all censorship social media. But only against certain views

Trump views social media as a Trump White House press tool. It is a private business If it wants to survive it has to monitor what it lets get posted. Trump has pushed social media to the extreme with his lies & taunts & hate speech If he does not like it, he can stop tweeting

King Trump thinks that he can do anything, after all he’s the king....

I am in Wisconsin. all color people matter. RIP George Floyd 💔

Like our baby-in-chief Impeached President realDonaldTrump could live without his cattle-prod. Go ahead, shut it down. Otherwise you are just a blowhard. Your turn. 😮

This whole fact check story is wrong... what is scientifically a fact today can be false tomorrow as science continues to find out more and more information about everything... and every year new theories emerge that are completely the opposite of old ones

Well, that’s what a dictator would do so no surprise

trump is a crybaby

Mwirigi Lmaooooo. And then where will he troll Joe?

Can you say 'National Socialism'?

It's amazing what people with power will do when someone says they are lieing!

Hope he shuts down twitter and no one will hear from him again. As Twitter is his only real voice. What a FOOL

Well now you can’t just spit out lies. goodforyou

I wish the press would unite and put Trump in timeout- Don't show clips or quote his ignorant comments or his ridiculous lies on Twitter or his spread of hate across America. I know I could use a break from all things Trump! TrumpTimeout

FreedomOfThePress is in the constitution! Wouldn’t social “media” be protected by that? King realDonaldTrump needs to check that First Amendment again.

TrumpisVile

The BSer finds itself in a corner lashing out with everything it’s got, more BS.

Worried about our nation, our leaders and the Republican party. Why can they not keep him from acting so crazy?

If the tweet is still there it hasn't been censored.

The maddest thing is there are really allot of flaws with Postal voting. The craziest thing because he chats so much nonsense, when he is talking sense no one pays attention to him 🤦🏾‍♀️

Itbity idiot things he has absolute power...🤪

Yeah, he knows where the faucet to the Interweb is

Rat fink

He'd sensor any news that he doesn't like - if he could. Despicable!

Doesn't like the fact that ppl can now check the facts and see he is lying!! Bout time...

Would twitter like to add a 'perspective,' 'fact check' to this picture. Censorship effects us all.

He prefers his lies unchecked

What a snowflake.

Like most whiny conservatives, he confuses fact checking and criticism as censorship. Where have all the conservatives who enjoy a lively discussion of opinions? These were exercises and expanding of points of view and likely contributed to the growth of democracy.

Stop taking the bait. He just wants to distract from his incompetence.

Twitter and Fox News are the teats from which the imbecile trump followers suckle misinformation so Trump will never shut down twitter or Facebook. Besides, neither Facebook or twitter care about the truth since they make more money with bots and lies.

Insert laugh track

If Trump shuts down Twitter, how does his groupies gat their orange koolaid

I say, Good Luck idiot! You don't own any of the social media platforms.

“But it’s unclear what he could do” It’s very clear NPR. Do better.

Unclear? How about - he has no fucking ability to do so. Sheesh

realDonaldTrump Big Baby

Lol he wishes he could.

frump is insane AF!!!!

Trump threatened to shut down social media . ahhhh,... that what his best friend puke-tin would do,. tyrant much frump,...

Such a baby

Twitter calls his bluff and he can't handle it! Maybe he should boycott Twitter!

Donald Trump: Putting the 'tator' back in 'dictator'...

Words of a wannabe dictator.

😂😂😂 this guy is like bad reality show

He could stop regularly breaking the rules himself.

Nothing. He can do nothing. He is an impotent naybob.

Inject it with bleach and shoot an ultraviolet light beam up its butt?

Hmmm 🤔 if he shut down Twitter he wouldn’t be able to tweet out his BS. I’m for it!

So, let me get this straight, he wants to censor social media because he feels that they are censoring conservative messages; and yet they allow him to lie to the public and malign his political opponents on the same platforms?

MonicaWSB IDIOT in CHIEF

Conservative views. Accusing someone of murder.

Everyone know that all Social Media is Leftist run propaganda

Now if that doesn't sound like a DICTATOR want a b. That's what he truly aspires to be

Nimrodicus Maximus—————^ Velocitus Overdriveus————-

Hahahaha, nothing made me laugh so loud today, like his ridiculous ideas. Hahahsh

Where are Trump supporters and GOP members to cry tyranny when you need them? Oh it was just for Obama when he wanted to give Medicare to as many people as possible?

Imagine how the right would have screamed bloody murder if Obama had threatened to 'crack down' on Fox (which is a Pox). Crickets from the GOPComplicitTraitors

Complaining about twitter on twitter 🤔 good luck with that

It’s not conservative views. It’s outright lies & misinformation. Someone should remind him that this isn’t North Korea or Russia.

Where is the fact check?

Wow!!! This is getting way too scary.

WTF? Hey Americans - your leader behaves more and more like a communist! VoteBlueNoMatterWho

Newsflash. He can’t do that.

I don’t genally condone me no violence, but..OFF WITH HIS THUMBS! 🤣

He could Tweet something utterly stupid, incorrect and rude.

As if Twitter Twit here can go without his juice. What? they can from henceforth only post you? FO!

So he has the power to shut down social media?

😂😂

Trust me, he can't and he won't. usvshim

Hitler's regime 2020.

He’s a joke and now he doesn’t want to be fact checked?😂😂

He should make a major improvement to both Twitter and FB by ceasing all postings. He might be surprised at how popular he would become.

Bring it on! Gun rights activists probably will not see the correlation.

Like to see all these mfing trump supporters now that he’s going to try take these rights away too.

If you shut down social media, what are you going to do all day? WORK?!!!! 😆

They get financial benefits from us. That’s over hopefully. We could also all move ro another real platform so they lose 50+ % of their accounts. Then the pussies can eat each other with vitriol

Dicktator talk. He has no clothes people.

Will the nightmare Trump administration ever end. He is the most embarrassing person to occupy that office. My company would never hire a person like Trump and yet the republicans have defined themselves after him. Shocking😱

Dictator

Well if will stop his mindless toilet Tweets....I’m all for it.

How dare you fact check my lies!

Fact checking is not censoring. 🤦‍♂️

Trump’s the one who takes to Twitter to rant and whine and now he wants to shut it down? Lol won’t ever happen because he has no discipline to follow thru and no will power. He is as addicted to Twitter as he is to Diet Coke.

I wish he’d shut down the KFC on N. Main - them sombitches keep fuckin’ up my mashies’n graygrays!

dictator much

He loves free speech when it serves him! What a joke! I can’t believe people actually voted for him! I still can’t believe anything he says or does. WorstPresidentEver

Please shut it down and give us a break from your populist spoiled rich kid b.s.

Here’s some social media:/ FUCK TRUMP

The mad man rages in his padded cell.

🙄

If POTUS’ claims are all true, then what is the problem with fact checking what he tweets? He could be validated by the facts. What is POTUS afraid of?

ROLLING ON FLOOR LAUGHING

Hello realDonaldTrump you can just quit Twitter & believe me! It will be HUGE!! as the ratings will tank.

Pretty please let him and all of MAGA country boycott all of social media. The rest of us would greatly appreciate it 🙏🏾🤞🏾

Who fact checks the fact checkers?

Yet votes cast by mail are less likely to be counted, more likely to be compromised and more likely to be contested than those cast in a voting booth, statistics show.

Sorry fascist Trump. You were set up to fail. Fail harder. Fail faster. Fail now. The country we all know and love is about freedom. The country we love is about justice. The country we love is about truth. Drones, nanotech, and biotech coming for your cabnite to destroy.

When Twitter fact checks Trumps lies, it does NOT limit his free speech. He can still tell lies. They didn't suspend his account. (God I would LOVE that). But now he can be called out for lying! As usual he doesn't understand the 1st amendment, or any amendment for that matter.

Let him... he'll take his own ability to reach his voter base away from himself while also making it difficult for Russia to interfere in this election with the use of bots.

He’s becoming just like his favorite dictator, Kim Jong Un.

He’s as impotent in social media as he is everywhere else

I long for the day when we have a functional adult for a president

He could break them up, or tax advertising.

Why would you tweet this. He can do nothing!!!!! The FCC is an independent branch of government!! He has no authority over it. It was designed that way to keep childlike presidents bay

🤣🤣🤣 dude doesn’t even understand what’s within his power and what isn’t

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 That's funny.

He doesn't have power but threat alone can't work.

Using the President's logic, if Mail in Votes are 'fraudulent,' then I guess all of our US Military Members and Spouses are committing fraud. 🤔 False VoteByMail2020 MyVoteMatters TrumpIsANationalDisgrace TrumpIsAnIdiot realDonaldTrump

POTUS should be ashamed of himself. Finally someone calls him on his lying rhetoric and he threatens them. He should be apologizing. THANK YOU TWITTER!!

He couldn't do anything.

Start using Parler instead of Twitter. Let's hit Twitter in the wallet.

considering that such a tag is being unilaterally applied while it is well known and documented that politicians bullshit all the time if he does have it shut down he would be justified for political interference and the social sites themselves would provide all the evidence nec

He can do whatever we let him do. He has made it clear American laws do not stand in his way.

it’s perfectly clear, he can do nothing.

I wonder how he legally would shut down social media. He does not have that power. He could not even legally access someone's email account without their permission.

vexwerewolf I'd love to see him try to shut social media down he doesn't have that kind of power to shut down the internet espicially when Twitter is one of his main forms of communication. Sorry Trump but Twitter's TOS applies to you too

He could just *stop* using a free social media service that he agreed to the TOS to use in the first place. Maybe he could, you know, lead the country like an adult who's president should?

Why do you even cover this stupidity? It's all snake oil salesman that has absolutely no validity or truth. And you're giving this barking dog what it wants---shit to chew on!!

Read the fine print! realDonaldTrump is a bankrupt corporate elitist that thinks he can make up the rules. He is a 'Total' stupid idiot and 'tweets' the world as if we are 'twits!' He has failed as a leader and chief! We have a world of problem and can only think of himself.

yet another empty threat from a weak, petulant failure of a human

Zzzs

Has this been fact checked?

This is an easy one — he would burn down the Reichstag and blame Facebook and Twitter for it. Suspend the First Amendment, enact Marshal Law and force everyone they round up and arrest to be housed at Trump properties, paying full retail of course. (tongue firmly in cheek)

What would he do without Twitter

Good. It is unfairly targetting 1 person! That isn't democracy. That isn't pro-First Amendment. That isn't America!!!

So unfair to have my constant lies fact checked. True fact: facts are biased against me! (Twitter Note - partially true) TrumpLies TrumpCrimes TrumpAgainstFacts

CIA would you pay me to kill them all ? Asking for a friend ?

He would never shut down Twitter. He loves it too much...it'd be like forcing McDonald's to discontinue the Big Mac

Trump and his GOP enablers can create their own site. They can leave And maybe start a new tweet site call 💩

ChickenLiddle ain’t ShuttinDown shit!!! realDonaldTrump KeepYapping Dickhead, we’re taking notes for November... 👑🤡

He could send back their campaign contributions.

Shut it down dude, then you will have no place to vent and spread false information like you do everyday

Amazing how the same Republican who is against any regulation on private business and are against government overreach is silent on censoring the Freedom of Speech. Fact checking is a 'Freedom of Speech' VOTE THE SenateGOP and HouseGOP OUT!

The bully is at it again.

Instead of defending his statements with supporting facts, he complains about Twitter calling him out. That’s how you know it was bullshit. He’s upset that he’s not allowed to lie.

He could quit lying. He is such an awful excuse of a little man.

Honestly he is unhinged. He literally thinks anything that comes out of his mouth is true or able to come true. Literally no concept of reality

he's such a dotard

I have run a social media forum, for 15 years. I am the owner and the EDITOR, and we will continue to operate the same way we always have.

He can’t do anything anyway. It’s a privately held company. Twitter could should down Twitter tomorrow.

🤣🤣

The gov, LiarInChief ,trying to shutdown Twitter is a violation of the first amendment. Twitter FactCheck link is not. Thank you Twitter TwitterSupport for knowing the difference. Keep up the good work. All gov. All news. All the time. Dont delete just FactCheck every time

Conservatives when media platforms them: capitalism means that this media organization is free to express and regulate its own values in the content it platforms, as it's an independent economic entity in the free market. Conservatives when media doesn't platform them:

Idiot

Shut it ALL down and have life go back to normal

The answer is nothing. He can do absolutely nothing about it except stop lying. I cannot wait until this clown gets blasted by a real DOJ. Counting down baby... Tick tock Trumpy.

Fake news?. He said it on twitter

Where will he spew his venom? His supporters don’t care about fact checking anyway.

There’s a difference between having conservative views and flat out spreading lies, conspiracy theories and misinformation.

Typical MOB BOSS blow hard CRAP

He’s such a clown.

Isn't this (in conflict with allowing Trump an account?

This is wrong, he did not 'threaten to shut down social media'. This is exactly his point. False and misleading posts from every liberal in the country but his tweets are censured by someone else's interpretation of his statements.

More distractions. Away from his incompetence. Anything he can do to keep the heat off himself!

FuckDrumpf

Sooo... 1st amendment rights; but only for conservative voices, and misinformation? Got it...screw you dude. You can say whatever you want on social media, but we all have the right to call you out on the BS...

Just don’t lie and it won’t be a problem realDonaldTrump

He can't do anything ... Lawsuit ruling in 2019: the president can't use a platform like Twitter “for all manner of official purposes” while “excluding persons from an otherwise‐open online dialogue because they express views with which he disagrees.”

This would be a dream come true. Go ahead. Shut it down. I, for one, welcome a world without Trump Twits

The dialogue of a aspiring dictator

What an awesome day it would be if Twitter was shut down. What would Drump do? How would he spread his propaganda

What would Trump do all day without Twitter?

You want to know who is acting illegally an trampling on citizens’ rights? Gov. Jay Inslee of Washington State. POTUS is letting governors show their true colors, and Jay’s look like 🇨🇳. President Trump isn’t the dictator. Jay is - and others.

He’s free to not use it.

Hahahahaha

zozogirl07 Here is a random though... try to follow along. If you wanted to prevent Twitter from labeling your tweets as factually incorrect then how about you... ohh I don’t know... stop lying via Twitter.

Go ahead, do it. No more Twitter rants then 👍

DICTATOR DUMB DONNIE.

realDonaldTrump Lol, you can't do anything.

😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣😂

Come on already SenateGOP, it's time for 25thAmendmentNow

I really, REALLY worry about Don ... having access to the launch codes.

If I can't have it, no one can. What a big baby! Who is reinforcing this temper tantrum toddler, kicking and screaming, to get control? Is anyone going to account for him because his philosophy is that he doesn't need to? Good to see his reach checked by private companies.

Well done Twitter 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Unbelievably, Impeached Trump doesn't know that government is the only entity forbidden to censor free speech. Companies in the public sector have the freedom to determine what content is acceptable, according to the rules and regulations established on THEIR platforms.

What can he do? He can bluster and threaten, maybe inspire someone to shoot a journalist. He's nothing but a cowardly little bully.

Just the kind of bellowing I expected from this spoiled child.

PlatformsNotPublishers

The boy ain't right.

Mr. Trump... I hate to break it to U, but this ain't China - you can't shut off the Internet or voices of dissent. Just like you can accuse others of 'fake news,' others can accuse you (with great legitimacy) of the same. I know it is tough for you, but it's time to be a big boy.

PLEASE and THANK YOU!

So if he shuts it down, does it mean he has to actually work?

Correcting your misinformation is not censorship.

Fact checked by Yoel Roth. Take a look on what he likes to call people.

The didn’t cover any parts of realDonaldTrump tweet. He’s such a baby.

What bothers me is the Donald is not our King. Hell, he’s not even acting like our President.

psst just because some nutjobs TRY to make conservative views equate to racist, murdering, child molesters, doesn't mean Trump and cult are the same, they are all sick and their own entity, trying to hold the narrative to party misses the point, on purpose? can you do better?

Hmm, a tyrannical narcissist threatening to censor free-speech. Sounds like an emperor.

Please shut it down

he’ll cry about it just like the rest of his cult followers will do. maga

He cannot do it, under what circumstances he can do it , this not a dictatorship state we laws and constitution and congress has not given him the authority of the war power’s act. Reaching for bullshit

What would Trump even do without Twitter? He might have to read a book or do his job or something.

Taking a page from Russia, South Korea and China I see.

Isn't that like 'cutting your nose to spite your face' logic? The man lives and breathes on Twitter. He would silence himself...oh, wait....

Omg !!! Liars all liars!

They should do fact check on all. Especially the media like NPR

'stop censorship by implementing censorship!'

No politician should be allowed to spread lies and misinformation or abuse on any social media

Good luck

Then tell him to shut up

MaraLiasson He can’t

He isn’t being censored. As usual, he is too dumb to know what the word means. His lies are being fact checked and shown to be lies. Maybe he should try the truth. VoteBlueToEndThisNightmare

He can't do shit

Sad legacy he will leave for generations to come

It's concerning that Twitter gets to further control the narrative by being selective about the sources provided, yet call it 'fact checking'.

Maybe if re-elected he will shut all media that he doesn’t like down. Barr can help with GOP Senate. Networks, Newspapers, Social Media, Books, are all the same; “fair game.” His Presidency, after all is a “game show.”

LOL...he has ZERO authority to shut down Twitter. He'll find out the hard way.

How about nothing?

You people need to stop with the 'It's unclear what authority Trump has to do this clearly unconstitutional thing' form of equivocation. Your job is to call things for what they are.

Social media, it’s time to shut down Trump. Refuse to publish his nonsense. I do not believe as a business they are required to do business with him.

Using what, the power of grey skull?

He’s a disgrace

If it’s unclear, why would you speculate he can even shut it down? Which he cannot do but he can sign legislation that will define these social media platforms once and for all.

He should do it. He is the one using it to spew hate using them. He is the one that will miss them.

If trump can't lie with complete abandon he will not be saying much

Its able cracking down of false information and made up bullshit that comes out of his month everything damn day.

Typical Bully reaction.

I’m confused. How are they impugning his free speech rights? They aren’t deleting his tweets. They’re exercising their free speech rights by adding a fact check link.

A blowhard with empty threats. Call out his bluff Twitter JackDorssey his minions need your platform to exist. They need you not the other way around.

MaraLiasson Rant and rave. That’s his plan.

Sorry, Fat Boy. You haven't made it to Hitler status. Yet.

Does Communist China ring a bell.

Right out of the Russian playbook... Putin’s certainly getting his money’s worth.

Bitch please I dare you.

Dictator 101

In a word, Donny can do nothing legal about the situation he has landed himself in. Well, he could start speaking the truth, but we all know that will NEVER happen.

This is not what a democratic leader does. It's what authoritarians from other countries who are afraid of free-thinking people do. realDonaldTrump propoganda LiarInChief shameful

That’s the old okey doke. They bend over backwards to display their filth.

Hes not well. Clearly Republicans can save themselves by enacting the 25th and installing pence.

Nothing. This has been a long time in coming. The worst president in the history of the American presidency gets worse each day.

“How he could crack down” So...force companies to do his bidding? To just go along with their lies because their all liars? Doh Kay.

Of course his the king of his kingdom. All in he’s head. So add the check the facts to any political tweet from a political tag! Fair, Fair

Trump has a large base that supports him. He can easily mobilize that base to overwhelm social media.

Social media has always consorted conservatives or anything that strayed from leftist narratives.... I think the trans “dead naming” fiasco was one of the most bizarre

De Fund NPR

Someone please inform Dementia Donny that the 1st Amendment prevents him from that.

So he's threatening to be a fascist

pilamcjh Laughable. He’s a weak man.

yeah - of he try's to shut down social media... there will go his cult following he relies on his cult to pass on his lies and propaganda

He's mad because he thinks his freedom of speech has been violated (by a private company), so in response he wants to shut down other's freedom of speech. Makes sense.

Trump is a grifter and con man. Why would anyone listen to him?

How is fact checking censoring? Isn't fact checking also protected by the 1st Amendment?

Why don’t you say in this tweet the realDonaldTrump lies and spreads disinformation? That’s why Twitter made that call! Seriously, what is wrong with you media!

Nothing. He can do nothing, unless he intends on violating the Constitution that he claims to hold so dear. He’s a narcissist who cannot stand being held accountable. Stop reporting it. This is a non story.

Doooooooo iiiiiiiiittttt...

TheMadKing

It's funny. How you can 'win' a presidency, have the power, and this be this freakin miserable. His supporters too, like their guy won, their guys have a stranglehold on congress, the whole nation is a right wing dumpster fire...and they're still mad.

Uh nothing.

It’s not going to happen. Any regulations DJT tries to impose on social media companies will likely hurt him and his conspiracy theory ilk than anyone who honours facts and science.

This is an obstruction of the first amendment. Trump has no right to attack freedom of speech or threaten a platform for how it conducts business.

He really ought to stop taking media relations tips from Putin and Kim Jong Un.

I can spread lies, rumours, prejudice, hatred, but u have no rights to stop me.

Do it. Do it now. We The People are watching.

How would he post all his lies and propaganda, and employ all his minions to spread them? So he has no intention of shutting down his communication networks.

And where would be able to spread his insane rants?

Two things he could do to improve social media: 1) Stay off of it. 2) When realDonaldTrump does feel compelled to comment, don’t lie.

GOPCorruptionOverCountry

I honestly hope Twitter continues to add links to the facts on all realDonaldTrump 's tweets. It's unfathomable that a President is permitted to spread false and misleading information that effects the health and wellbeing of Americans. healthcare LeadershipMatters

Aww the big baby is upset someone is putting him in his place. I would like to see him try

He should probably do us all a favor and boycott twitter

What a spoiled child. He wants the freedom to lie to the American public without anyone pointing it out

what a cry baby he is

This man wouldn’t know what the constitution was even if it was unfurled onto his head.

He can’t do that. He’s just the President.

Authoritarian regime at its best. realDonaldTrump

The Republican Party sees the people of our nation as nothing more than livestock... dirty animals to work until dead. Come November we change this! 100,299 dead Americans, remove these Grifters from office.

If he cracks down social media he’s going to leave his trollbots unemployed.

Also, Trump is responsible for the death of 100,000 Americans.

Get the fuck oughta here

Slippery slope

You're going to normalize Trump's autocratic threats of censorship, too?

Now who wants to 'stifle free speech'?

shut it down!!! we don’t want people fact checking for accuracy!! fact checking is fake news!!! facts are FALSE! If i doesn’t come off of Trumps fingertips...I DONT BELIEVE IT!

Trump makes threats, then doesn't follow through. Why would anybody vote for a person like that?

Censoring would be removing the tweets. He was fact checked. His life & campaign relies solely on lies. Most people know that. His brainwashed base doesn't care he's a pathological liar so really, what's his beef? Are there really people on Twitter that don't know he's a liar?

As we all know in the real world ... Hacks like NPR take taxpayer money and spew only leftist liberal lies, never telling the full story to try to discredit conservatives.

He's on Twitter more than anyone else 😂😂😂

We defeated the Nazis in WW2. Time to beat them again.

I'm so over this big baby and his pitiful tantrums!

Narrator: Trump can't do a damn thing.

Ah but he won’t do it. Why? Because tweeting = masturbation for him

He can’t do nothing

Lemme clear this up for your, he can't do anything. Your lead should better reflect that reality.

He would never do it. How else could he spout off to his minions?

ladyfaith The Snowflakiest of them all

If he isn’t telling lies all the time he has nothing to worry about

What do you mean unclear? Twitter is a private corporation. Now, we’ll see if jack will stand up to Trump.

🤣😂

Let the clown TRY shutting down twitter!

Did he threaten to hereby-order shut it down?

realDonaldTrump is a moron

Go ahead and shut down twitter and Facebook it would be his loss

Lmao as if

Donald, close your Twitter account.

has anyone tried the alternative platform If yes, is it worth joining?

'Land of Freedom' my Ass. I guess Trump's real goal is make America as Controlled as China.

No one is stopping him from spewing his lies; Twitter is just pointing them out to others. It’s the responsible thing to do. Platforms need to call out misinformation & lies, otherwise they’re complicit in this circus & enabling this clown.🎪🤡

Mr. Trump there are still 100,000 dead Americans

Germany 1930s maybe? This clown and his entourage need to go!

It's not as if Twitter removed his posts....

Answer: precisely nothing

That’s a Duterte move. And a Xi move. And a Erdogan move.

Well, if you insist...

How many of these 'fact checks' have you seen done TheDemocrats. Why does all this censorship only ever fall one way? Just like when the media makes a 'mistake', it only ever hurts Republicans.

Well good luck with that.

Trump threatens to shutter social media companies after Twitter warningU.S. President Donald Trump on Wednesday threatened to regulate or shut down social media companies, one day after Twitter Inc for the first time added a warning to some of his tweets prompting readers to fact check the president's claims. Короновирусная шизофрения обуяла планету. Все вокруг я That's the first bit of real good news this year if it takes him off of social media completely.

Trump threatens to shutter social media companies over alleged election interferenceThe president’s warning represented an escalation of his previous rhetoric targeting the tech giants for purported bias against conservative expression. JusticeForCarolyn Not going to take sides on this, but realDonaldTrump has a point, though. Twitter is fact-checking Trump with a CNN article!!! I kid you not!!! How is that a fair and unbiased fact-check?🤷🏽‍♂️🤷🏽‍♂️ Trump can rant all he wants to but that is not bias or the restriction of free speech as he puts it. That is simply telling people to do some fact checking which is a wise idea when you are dealing with the biggest pathological liar in political history.
