The move marked a dramatic shift for the social network, Trump’s primary tool for getting an unfiltered version of his message out to his political base, after years of permissive policies around content on its platform.
Trump, who has more than 80 million followers on Twitter, claimed in tweets earlier in the day that mail-in ballots would be “substantially fraudulent” and result in a “rigged election.” He also singled out the governor of California over the issue, although the state is not the only one to use mail-in ballots.
Trump posted the same text about mail-in ballots on his official Facebook page, where the post picked up 170,000 reactions and was shared 17,000 times. Facebook’s policy is to remove content that misrepresents methods of voting or voter registration, but in this case it left the post untouched.
Could this be that Pres Trump is suffering from post traumatic Hydroxychloroquine syndrome (PTHS)? Remove this malaria inflected brain decision maker from Public Office before he deploys the military and we see the beginning of a Civil War.
Twitter stifles free lies not free speech, rustler Trump stifles truth
If he closes Twitter then he will disappear from the media. No one world politician has gained from Twitter than Trump
The blow hard in chief needs to have his twitter sccount suspended, before he uses it to incite a civil war.
Well then he shouldn’t lie. The problem is that Trump is a pathological lier.
Jajajaja....fakedonald
The Media never questions the Left wing lunacy and crimes FakeNewsMedia
People keep missing the fact that the 'free speech' part of the 1st Amendment, applies 2 GOVERNMENT censorship of speech: not the control private entities like Twitter, have over content posted 2 their platform. They have every right, & in this case, obligation, 2 'markup' posts!
Trump's nothing but a crying baby 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄
Incompetence from the White House with new and improved insane tweets.
Quite surprised that even with those links Twitter continues to defend and allow this vial president to continually attack with libelous and slanderous language that would have his orange ass sued but is protected by his presidency. Twitter only in for the money!
He wants the country to be a truth-free zone.
Trump is mad twitter
here’s your fact checker:
Now he can't tweet outright lies about alleged involvement in murder by a TV host. Imagine having to write that...about President of the U S. Incredible.
Trump DumpTrump VoteBlue
the bleach'll be the ruin of him
OMG that’s amazing! Ha! Lololol
Just in case there is anyone in US Not seeing Trumps tweets, MSM always ensures they do
Twitter will never be able to keep up with all the fact-check flagging required for Trump's tweets.
Would love to see it in all politicians. But jack does not have the balls.
I didn't need Twitter to tell me that. Trump lies and spread lies
Fraud happening?
There is a lot of voter fraud, mail-in and otherwise, you just ignore it.
kyraguh
twitter didn't do this when he was promoting untested medical treatments or advising people to inject bleach. So presumably they consider those statements to be true.
And where do the the fact checkers take you? Directly to left wing, liberal media sites that have a history of lying. twitter needs fact checkers for the fact checkers they are referring people to.
Twitter is biased with the DemocRats.
This was long overdue.
Jimmy Carter said mail-in ballots are problematic. Mail Handler in WV just got busted for this.
The same day The Postal Worker got arrested for Just That.
We all know how hard they will try to censor the president,
Love it
Trump : GAME OVER
Twitter is following Trump and placed a fact-checking notification on Trump's tweets. Tremendous good job Twitter! TrumpTwitter
about time
The least they could do really, considering this account has a RICH history of tweeting hateful, authoritarian propaganda, incitements to violence, xenophobia, terroristic threats, public extortion, doxxing, and now direct, public election interference. JusticeIsComing
The President has his opinion on this as do others, myself included. His might just be more relative and informed than mine or others.
caseyjohnellis So I am really curious, everyone is acting like Trump is being racist and unreasonable by saying mail in voting can easily be manipulated. Is he really wrong? It seems incredibly easy to change a vote with no printed paper trail or anything like you get at a voting booth.
Bevfriesen1 You know after being extremely mad and going on a rage Tweet stirm against cops murdering that poor man. This is really good news this is good news of the day like I'm smiling right now from ear-to-ear no s***
Four years too late though eh? Won't make a blind bit of difference 😑
When I first got my mail in ballot I was afraid that my vote would be changed. IT SEEMS VERY EASY TO DO
Why now? He’s been twisting the truth since day one!
The president is right, the mail-in ballot is a total and grotesque fraud..... The only people who wants to use this system is the f....g democrats who knows they don't have a chance against trump2020
Could shut all of this down by having one journalist ask 45: Where’s the data source? Can you share percentage of fraud? Why did you use mail in ballot if fraud is so rampant? etc...pretty sure you guys have some ideas for good questions too😅
Lol!
FAKE NEWS gets a pass ---FakeNewsMedia
What a glorious day indeed. FINALLY. Out of everyone that stain of a president abuses, Twitter stood up to trump. As it can and should. Let him start a new app w/ OANN or Sinclair. It will be the biggest, best, like nothing seen before. 😂
And then had their fact check fact checked ...
They got a lot of tweets to go back and add that fact-checking notification to, right? About 3.5 years of misinformation. 🤣
Looking forward to Twitter doing this to MSM (and major news agency) tweets, too. Because when it comes to BS over the years, Trump has nothing on CNN/MSNBC/FOX et al. (WMDs and Russiagate, anybody?)
Corrupting an election to keep oneself in office is perhaps the most abusive and destructive violation of one’s oath of office that I can imagine.
These are the words of POTUS. He knows what's coming -- the end of free money for his businesses, friends 'cough', and soulless GOP opportunists.
Twitter needs an investigation into all unchecked false facts it's allowed.
Twitter juts became a new member of the Commie's list 😂
Twitter this is so great!! 😁 I mean he will just lie about it again but hopefully some people out there realize what’s happening and who is really spreading the ‘fake news’
Uninformed computer geeks censoring the President of the US? Bizzare
It is true. Listen, if you arent smart enough to get a legal I.D You do not need to vote! And anyone who tells you you arent smart enough to get an I.D is not on your side
Only thing this is going to accomplish is people will group Twitter in with MSM
About time
Twitter just turned into a publisher, some content may be edited without author consent or knowledge.
Finally!
So 'twitter' is a joke.
even Twitter can't stand his lies now. lol
Wonder if the Trump zombies will boycott twitter now. They’ll probably boycott Reuters just for reporting what Twitter did, such is their desire to blame everyone for conspiring against their Lord.
there should be some investigative journalism happening on mail in ballots. Many people have complained about their signatures not counting (me included), the race being called but the rural ballot box had not yet been collected. .. I mean. There are some serious fails.
Well Done, Twitter. That is truely freedom of speech. My confident is back.
ICYMI: Mail carrier tampered with absentee ballot requests, West Virginia AG says uspoli USPolitics via MiamiHerald
That’s today’s USA, so sad, such a pale shadow of its former self.
Crazy!!!
Reuter’s is fake news too.
How do you debunk a future event?
It's actually time. How many Americans were in hospital after drinking disinfecting fluids? It was not enough that he said it on TV. For many days he posted it on Twitter. And Twitter? Didn't do anything to warn people!
A way of voting he was once used...hypocrisy
Yes, Twitter is no longer a 'platform' but an overbearing 'publisher' supporting the leftist agenda.
The GOP and every republican running for office has blood of innocent Americans on their hands. All the conspiracy theories coming their mouths causing divisions shall be handled November2020. American Voter's Show Your Self Strong and remember those who have died from COVID19.
*Debunked by CNN fact checkers*
About time. Facts matter.
The worst President in US history. Currently the leading cause of death in the United States, and just behind WWI for US deaths in conflicts.
Ok, now ban his account. Any other account would have been closed long ago.
So....where's yours ?
And now Twitter enjoys their 15 minutes of fame, they are relevant for a minute. And then John and Jane Q Public laughed and laughed as they read the many stories on Google that showed the stupidity of the Twitter fact checkers. FactsMatter Trump2020 VoterFraud
The Democrats want to destroy our democracy with mail-in-ballots. This will encourage bullying and threatening of people to get them to vote contrary to their own beliefs. It also encourages Ballot Harvesting. Bad, Very Bad. The Democrats will Make this Nation Weak and Poor Again
Sit back and wait for the non-voluntary (that means mandatory for the normies) corona test and vaccine. The vaccine full of fetal tissue from aborted babies, amongst other things like metals and formaldehyde. TDS is real.
It’s about time ! Although Twitter needs to Do that with almost everything he posts!
THANK YOU Twitter America is tired of Trump constantly lying
Look to to parts of England to find out about mail in ballots, it is possible !
Twitter It. Is. About. Time!!!
It's a start to quell dictatorship.
About time!
Who cares? Only the Karens 🙄
I did some studies on what President Trump said. He IS right.... Twitter's fact-check 'cherry-picked' articles are wrong. Will you report this?
Good. About time since they have applied this new feature to other people’s tweets.
You liberal rag.. this is fact not unsubstantiated
He knows all about rigged elections
Fact checkers from the biggest propaganda machines of today’s media... cnn msnbc FakeNewsMedia

Twitter just decided to stop being a platform and get political - that’s all that happened here, Reuters.
Investigative journalism is great and facts matter when voters are being suppressed. The government should be expanding access for voting rather than trying to take it away. The elderly and handicapped have been voting by mail for decades.
He's a lying TRUE SOCIOPATH.
That was the dumbest news, Twitter. Who do you check your facts with? Fakenews HQ, CNN? SMH
That's a start but they need to delete a lot of his posts just like they would others and he needs to be removed or placed in 'twitter jail', just like they would other people!!!
Fact checkers from CNN and WaPo? Twitter will soon realize their mistake.
All Trump has to do is quit Twitter. They will bend backwards to please him as he gives them lot of mileage
It’s about time.
Fact checking isn't against free speech. (Which ever idiots needs to read it)
Finally!! He’s gotten away with too much for too long.
