Twitter has added a warning to one of President Donald J. Trump’s tweets about protests in Minneapolis. The company says the tweet violated the platform’s rules about 'glorifying violence.'

President Donald Trump holds up a copy of the New York Post as he speaks before signing an executive order aimed at curbing protections for social media giants, in the Oval Office of the White House, Thursday, May 28, 2020, in Washington.

WASHINGTON — Twitter has added a warning to one of President Donald J. Trump’s tweets about protests in Minneapolis, saying it violated the platform’s rules about “glorifying violence.” The third tweet to be flagged started as a message of support for the governor of Minnesota, where there have been three days of violent protests over the death of George Floyd, a handcuffed black man who pleaded for air as a white police officer kneeled on his neck.

The MEDIA MSM dems sleepyjoe were all complicit in silencing our President & covering the riots up!! They should PAY and PAY BIG! TWITTER TOO for their unconstitutional shutdown & blocking of free speech! realDonaldTrump Thank you, sir!! We know YOU love 🇺🇸& her people!

georgegalloway Trump violated. Trump was advocating violence and racism.

Fuck you Twitter free speech

This Stolen Continent should be Fortunate that the Original Natives and the Imported Africans are seeking equality instead of seeking revenge! ✊🏾

Keep at it Twitter

Well it’s true. And it’s about time he abides by the rules like everyone else.

The WH is unable to get past the civility requirement of twitter. Says a lot about the current political set up and those in power - irrespective of the side of the aisle.

President Trump has done more for everyone in this country than we have had in a long time. You don’t see congress staying out of DC and giving up their pay. The hate for him is disgraceful.

Only took 3.5 years!

Too can say “kill all white people” and “kill all men” and shit like that all you want though.

Finally!

That’s Trump for you.

Good

Great job TwitterSafety, keep up the good work; I certainly don't what nocuous content like this in public forums like twitter 🙌 👍 makeitstop

In the public interest to take it down....and remove the auther for let's say 8 months.

Sad day for free speech. We need a new social media outlet. The left leaning Twitter needs to be stopped.

And it only took them 4 fucking years 😒

Twitter won’t autoban neo-Nazis because the filters may ban GOP politicians

How idiotic can Trump get?

Yes! This is great.

McFaul 👍

Twitter is doing their job!! Yass if Donald doesn’t like it, he can make his own platform just for his followers.

Censorship

Divider in Chief!TrumpDeathToll100K TrumpIsANationalDisgrace TrumpGolfsYouDie TrumpIsACompleteFailure

mgnla0824 To be fair, draft-dodger & lifelong racist realDonaldTrump has often advocated & glorified violence. We all remember him waxing rhapsodically about the “good old days,” telling cops to handle suspects roughly, offering (falsely) to pay rally pugilists’ legal fees… MAGA

The police in the USA have lost there oath to protect life and property instead they have become thugs and murderers

Should suspend account but that is what he is going for. He is the victim somehow, he should be allowed to say “you loot. they shoot” and put lives at risk.

Talk about the insane nature of the wording

Twitter not hiding the fact they are part of the Biden Campaign.

Twitter leaves posts directly calling for violence & destruction of the city & chooses to be petty with the President. Hope an emergency session is called to finally regulate Twitter & all the rest of the hate monger big brother “open forums” expose them all. Enough

Trump said we can shoot looters so why isn’t anyone taking him? Please and thank you to anyone who does

Attah boy twitter! Way to go!

Does anyone read these warnings?

Good, they should ban realDonaldTrump next! Twitter please ban him!

Je viens de voir ton profil, il me plais bien raison pour laquelle je me permet de t'envoyer ce message. Je t’écris pour pouvoir faire connaissance. On est bien la pour ça non ? Je me présente, je suis andrea lecompte , 30ans célib sans enfant

Our safety and survival as individuals and as a republic requires Trump’s immediate removal from office by any means necessary. Where all the people with the 50 caliber rifles when you need them?

103k ppl alreafy dead in his watch and now he wants to send in National Guard to deal with protestors.

🙄

Finally. If My Twitter account can be shut down for typing bad language or behaving like a troll then so can his. Twitter is a private entity and Citizens United granted Twitter all the rights if being an individual citizen. 'Corporations are people, my friends'.

WTF? He is the President!

They need to ban him. Permanently.

'The way to stop citizens from rioting is to acknowledge and fix the conditions that they are rioting against.'

A few things can be right at the same time, the prez says some of the dumbest stuff while at the same time does some of the right stuff, this by far the dumbest thing to say, 1/2

Absurd

So why wasn't his account suspended like they do to others. He's not above anyone else.

_Politics This won’t end well. dumptwitterstock now if you have any. Get on the phone first thing and sell sell sell.

JonLemire jack outsmarted Trump. Try it.

Hey Twitter you can’t just censor one person.

why isn't Houston NY Newark Philly Cleveland Chi Town St. Louis LA San Fran Seattle Portland burning too? c'mon man Step ya game up folk! black uhhh something something.

He’s going to lose it when he wakes up. Great work twitter jack

Thank you Jack TwitterSafety TwitterSupport Twitter for applying your rules of conduct equally.

He thrives in violence, conflict and division. What else would anyone expect from a foreign nation-aided Manchurian candidate?

What snowflakes

So half of twitter that is encouraging rioting and looting are ok but wanting the rioting and looting to end gets a warning?

Nothing to censor icecube inciting violence? They are doing this to prevent Trump from being re-elected, plain and simple.

At the end of the day..they all work for the same family. It’s all a game of goodcopbadcop.. 😒

DarMV That's comforting?

Way to go twitter!

Good. Guys a jerk, Making threats that won’t be followed through because it’s illegal.

He is a joke! He thinks he’s had power to do anything he wants. Such a vengeful man. There is just so much wrong with this man.

SUSPEND HIS ACCOUNT!

I need brake the banks tonight where is Elon Musk?

Just suspend his account already. He’s already claiming martyr status.

Well u kno twitter does hav third graders on the job!

Every time he says something violent on twitter must be reported.

Where is my kind of love , of Lewisville, miss you bb

There will be no White House pens with enough ink for all the executive orders he'll be frantically signing to get rid of this lol.

Lmao stay mad trumpers

Good morning 🌞,last night was dreaming with someone callme 👶 alegator where is she at?

The quote 'When the looting starts, the shooting starts' originated by a racist white Miami police chief named Walter Headley who targeted black people in 1967 ahead of the Republican convention.

about goddam time. now go back and do the rest of his dangerous, inflammatory gibberish tweets.

This is why is difficult to understand.this kind of lenguaje, fake president fake notice

Twitter is a liberal propaganda machine

More editorializing from the Twitter staff. I thought this was 'fact checking' but it's opinion checking.

Twitter is about to be crushed like an insect

IT'S A MENTAL DISORDER GENE🤪THAT APPEARS IN RACIST,😬 ANTI-VAXXERS🤮, RELIGIOUS FANATICS🤯, PANDEMIC/ CLIMATE CHANGE DENIERS😷 AND TRUMP SUPPORTERS❗ PLEASE SAVE US FROM, NOT ONLY TRUMP, BUT HIS CERTIFIED LOONEY TUNES, BAT SHIT KRAZY SUPPORTERS🤪❗

cristela9 yes shut up!

FOR ME THE MOST FRIGHTENING THING ABOUT THIS COVID-19 PANDEMIC IS NOT DEATH BUT IT IS THE REALIZATION THAT THERE ARE SO MANY PEOPLE WHO ARE EITHER BRAIN DEAD, UNINFORMED, IMPERVIOUS AND INDIFFERENT TO THE TRUTH, SUFFERING FROM SELF-INDUCED IGNORANCE OR PATHOLOGICAL LIARS🤮🤪😜😱

REMEMBER, TRUMP WAS A DRAFT DODGER🤮 IN THE VIETNAM ERA❗TRUMP WAS AND STILL IS A SPINELESSJELLYFISH COWARD❗I SERVED IN THE VIETNAM ERA AND SOME OF MY FRIENDS DIED IN THAT WAR AND OTHERS CAME BACK WITH SERIOUS PHYSICAL AND/OR MENTAL INJURIES❗TRUMP YOU ARE COWARDLY GARBAGE🤮❗

AH YES, AND IT HAS COME TO PASS🤮😜🤪😱

We didn't start the fire..on repeat in my head

But khamenei tweets to destroy Israel are allowed. Very interesting. ...

LONG OVERDUE 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 TWITTER

Trump: “I’m gonna kill black people” Twitter: “woah buddy, it’s fine to want to kill black people, but we gotta put a warning on that content, but we’re fine with it” FB: “not only is it fine to kill black people, but we’ll help you distribute that content”

but why not remove it? i guess he gets to play by different rules. 🤷🏻‍♀️

JonLemire We will not and we must not be distracted from a president that refuses to implement a national covid-19 plan

Thank you Twitter! He has had so many tweets that have been a violation

Hahahahahaha! Fucking rediculous

KICK HIM OFF! KICK HIM OFF! KICK HIM OFF! KICK HIM OFF! KICK HIM OFF! KICK HIM OFF! KICK HIM OFF! KICK HIM OFF!

Twitter is trying to pick a fight before the election

Finally! Thank you Jack

Good

Ha... as I just said on a CNN post, this is twitter trying to find any little thing to flag just to get back at Trump for talking bad about them. I don’t even like him and even I can see that!! There’s WAY worse on twitter that they do nothing about!

Take a moment to actually read what trump wrote. Horrifying words coming from a president. 'Military', 'we will take control', 'shooting will start'

The funny thing about Trumps order is that his spread of false information in conspiracy theories, could end up forcing Twitter to delete his account.

If that dumb statement is happening, Then Twitter has billions of people who have violated their platform.

At last.

The leftist media tries to incite racism and glorify violence EVERY DAY. Leave the Dem Plantation! Wake Up! What have they done for you besides create chaos and ruin any city governed by a Democrat!

This scum should be banned permanently! hesnotmypresident

It's been doing this for decades.

His Twitter account should be terminated immediately

Is TwitterBlind?

Fake President

CNN camera crew just arrested live on air.

Twitter netizens

Am I dreaming? Is Twitter doing a good job?

McFaul Yeah baby! 👊🏻💪

Jack if you won’t ban him at least give us a break from his chaos, antagonism and racism. SuspendTrumpsTwitter SuspendTrumpsTwitter SuspendTrumpsTwitter SuspendTrumpsTwitter SuspendTrumpsTwitter SuspendTrumpsTwitter SuspendTrumpsTwitter SuspendTrumpsTwitter

Bye bye Twitter.

“But it is not enough for me to stand before you tonight and condemn riots ... And I must say tonight that a riot is the language of the unheard.” - Martin Luther King Jr. EndViolence EndRioting the MinneapolisRiot is NOT JusticeForGeorgeFloyd; A Peacefulprotest is. ☮

Twitter’s extreme political bias is now fully on display. Removing their special protections is the right thing to do. Twitter’s activist board members will revolt as the stock price plummets. Jack will be fired and sued personally by shareholders.

Trump is gonna be really upset. Maybe shutting down Twitter. 😆

Americans are so hypocrites black people also hate white people and white people hate black. But after 300 years black people still complaining and they don’t even try to move on. All bullshit Minneapolis they’re criminals destroying private property.

cristela9 I made two batches of popcorn. This is getting good.

He made america great again?

Social media should not be allowed to publish. If your a platform great but once you start to lose your neutrality and direct or modify communication you are liable.

They’re not protesting in Minneapolis they’re criminals destroying private property and local authorities must stop them using force.

Trump lies so much I'm sure that's why he ran for president, because if the secret service wasn't protecting his life some of the people he's robbed or owed money would have anchored him in the hudson river already.

Glad to see Twitter is evenly applying it’s censorship to all users Not.

He's going to have a meltdown on the toilet this morning...

Stand Your Ground For The Country Twitter . This Guy is totally out of control with his posturing. He isn't even a veteran that has served for this country and has the nerve after ripping off this country to make these type statements. Thank You twitter for Standing to this clown

The looting and plundering done by these 'protesters' is glorifying violence. But you don't see a single leftist having issues with that.

❤❤❤❤

It's not about the riots. It's about civil servants killing Americans. If the mail man started murdering people I would suspect no one would stand for it. Cops should not be exempted from their actions. Let it burn and start over from the ground up.

Finally Twitter is doing something.

Rubbish. Trump does what a president is supposed to do.

Obvious that this is politically motivated by twitter.

Can twitter tell if it originated from trump's device or otherwise? If it was a drafted tweet, surely twitter would know, maybe? 🤷‍♀️

This is going to trigger him🤣🤣🤣

I think Twitter made a mistake. I read a lot of twitter that glorifies violence more. He POTUS wrote that the National Guard can shoot, if the pillage is not controlled. Don't forget, the citizen of those stores can shoot in legitimate defense and the law protects them

Keep going. I’m sure there’s plenty more to follow.

Absurd! His tweet was a warning to stop the looting, vandalism and crime!

can they do the same for celebrities who tweet glorifying violence, too?

Looters have always risked being shot. This is not something new.

Good for you Twitter. 1st Amendment rights! Do not bow down to a Communist King.

DUMPtrump

In tomorrow's news, Trump's declared war on Twitter!

Because Twitter apparently doesn't mind the actual violence and anarchy taking place in Minnesota. The leftists have gone completely insane!

How the hell does THAT 'glorify violence' 🤦

This isn't for Trump, but for those who voted for him. Assuming you're a BabyBoomer, you need to read this. Your anger towards illegal immigrants (aka Mexicans etc) for your plight is seriously misguided. It was your own people that caused it...

I supportpresident trump

someone catch all the toys that will be throw out of the pram when he wakes up and sees this...

Twitter are a pack of socialist agenda loonies. What would you expect?

Thank you Twitter!

“These THUGS are dishonoring the memory of George Floyd, & I won’t let that happen. Just spoke to Governor Tim Walz and told him that the Military is with him all the way. Any difficulty & we will assume control but, when the looting starts, the shooting starts. Thank you!” - DT

4 more years! 4 more years!

Hopefully the big baby throws a fit and quits Twitter.

Listen...

Ah, the battle is on ... your turn, Donny.

Holy shit, he ain't fucking around, but isn't this counter intuitive.... Now you are going to have a angry mob that are armed

georgegalloway Don't misunderstand. Trump is a supreme egotist. Whether or not he belived this before he became president is incidental. He belives it now. Power has this effect. Hitler, Mao, Bush and Stalin became captive without much pushing. Ditto Donald, 'our present infallible superman'.

I wish someone could add this to real life

It’s a toss up with madkingdonald Do you lock him up or have him committed?!

This was my RT... Thank you Twitter! realDonaldTrump has been put on notice

Ban the impeached bum.

twitter 👍👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Smokescreen from 101 617.

Censorship, it was expected.

The take down is on

Twitter lets tRump know that it's Game On!

And over 80k 'liked' it before Twitter hid the tweet...

Well stand up for Twitter!! 👍👍 Senate won't muzzle or censor the trump hate Discusting.

Capitalism is just another cute word for systemic racism & exploitation of the masses. U get thrown a bone everytime the heat is turned up. Why u aren't doing a Ghandi protest by not paying any loan, mortgage or rent is beyond me.

Well done jack

Much agree. Inciting violence.

This man is losing respect as a President.

Well, Twitter sucks. Democrats can't win and these nationwide protests are a sham because looting and rioting cannot bring a dead man back.

Oh Friday morning gonna be interesting. Temper Tantrum Trump might sign another worthless E.O.

Good can’t wait for the tantrum he’s gonna throw when he wakes up and sees it 😂

Look at all the hypocrital lefties trying to silence people they don't agree with. This is why Trump will be elected for 4 more years. Twitter censors anyone who isn't radical left wing.

Finally Twitter it’s been a long time coming!

ban that mother f*ckr

Twitter just follows its own protocol as well as CCP ‘s. I have no idea if Twitter is an American company or Chinese....

Won’t need an alarm clock for us all to tell when realDonaldTrump wakes up...

JonLemire

Trump started the riot. No one forget that. WH stopped the arrest of the murderers and they’re orchestrating destruction now USING THE SAME POLICE to covertly start fires, for the war Steven Millers ghouls have been thirsting for.

McFaul

Initially I was with Trump that the National Guard should take over & stop the looters.. But then I changed my mind & I actually agree with Twitter. Let it 'peacefully' burn to the ground... Then just fence it & let those thughs enjoy their new creation, their new neighborhood

JonLemire In few hours pyromaniac racist sicko will have barrage of psychotic episodes like we never seen before. Wish he reacted and acted to CoronavirusOutbreak in a speed that he reacted to Twitter.

Meanwhile there's hundreds other accounts glorifying violence, zoophilia and pedophilia.

Any other person would be kicked off twitter permanently He shouldn’t be an exception I say we BOYCOTT TwitterSupport and jack until they do. Then they’ll see boycotttwitter

Pandemic then a protest against cops. You will not have peace as long as you are in office. Why don’t you stay out of the mayor’s business and let him deal with Minneapolis. YOU couldn’t handle the Covid-19 virus. So you dam well can’t handle a protest/riot.

Hahaha 👍

McFaul the president is loosing it and the whole world is watching.

There are THOUSANDS of tweets glorifying violence RIGHT NOW against the police. They sure as hell aren't going after those are they? Jack FuckingHypocrite

You go Twitter 😁😁😁😁😁😁 fuck trump

as they should

ogundamisi One more error.......

Pretty sure Trump eats ketchup on hot dogs. Sick sumbitch.

JonLemire But there is no warning if it is retweeted

This is on twitter

Well & it seems we’re gonna be waking up to a shit show in some hours. Thx twitter!

That’s true.

Except they were wrong.

too right. The realDonaldTrump reference to 1967 looting and shooting is incendiary and beyond stupid.

This could have caused a lot more violence, I sure hope it still won't.

I was one of many wno reported this teeet

Twitter after yesterday’s EO...

I have new found respect for twitter. 😁

Stand by for lawsuits. Lots of them.

Who cares? This is their way to try to impact an election. They better hope he loses. NOT!!!! Trump2020

That's gotta be some steel balls right there

Really? The guy who told his cult during the campaign to beat up a protestor and he'd 'pay your legal fees' is still doing it?

Anybody else staying up waiting for the tweet storm?

No violence in this tweet.

Trump is going off the deep end, and taking us with him!

It was also extremely racist. White people + 'thugs' = the N-word. RacistTrump

Suspend trump’s account. We’ve all been suspended for less.

I like this 'glorifying violence' better👇 Don't suspend it TwitterComms

they are right Twitter Calling them thugs is wrong and Trump not dealing with those 4 cops pure wrong . All I got to say “Remember November “... realDonaldTrump GregAbbott_TX

Twitter jack HERO just did something that NO ONE ELSE HAS EVER BEEN ABLE TO DO‼️‼️‼️Not the SCOTUS‼️NOT THE SENATE‼️Congress tried❣️ Pelosi is the only other one to stand up to the i g _ _ r _ m _ s ❣️👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 TWITTER MADE TRUMP PAY FOR NOT FOLLOWING THE RULES❣️❣️❣️Thank you jack

Stupid and petty by Twitter.

You did him a favor, besides all of us, who cannot stand hearing one more time about “very fine people”.

Ok now do kathygriffin.

The tweet did no such if a thing. This twit hater of realDonaldTrump is only going to make things worse for us all. Grow up fool.

In no way did that glorify violence

So, Trump just made Twitter out themselves as an editor. And, leftists are forced to defend looting. All in one tweet. Well, played realDonaldTrump .

The President was warning that people are going to get hurt, because business owners tend to shoot looters in these kinds of situations. He wasn't threatening to have the National Guard shoot the looters!

Protect your properties from Obama's sons!😂

Twitter just made one of there biggest mistakes

Twitter taking the bait: now censoring government to promote criminal looting. Wonder how many wire laws that breaks. Wait till they go back & pull Democrat statements about Bin Laden & Obama's other ME activities. Those would then have to be promoting violence to then, right?

Call Twitter now

I’m so fucking sick of POTUS

trump is gunna lose it lol

Great work Twitter.

I hope this isn’t something they limit to just Trump.

This won’t end well. He’s clearly talking about the looter that was shot and killed by a pawn shop owner 🙄

Per Twitter policy, Trump should already be permanently banned.

Donald Trump should be worried About what’s going on in Minneapolis and also with the Covid

Why didn’t Twitter flag the MSM & the left when they glorified the violence of looting and burning buildings to the ground? Trump’s tweet was about the consequences of doing nothing. Not about an order. Ppl would start shooting when looting creeps into their homes. Hypocrites.
