Twitter's response to Trump's tweet: It is hidden by a notice from Twitter -- but is still viewable behind the notice. 'This Tweet violated the Twitter Rules about glorifying violence.'

Minneapolis and St. Paul, known as the"Twin Cities" of Minnesota, both saw huge protests. In St. Paul, protesters faced off against riot police, batting tear gas canisters back and forth. More than 170 businesses were looted or damaged by the protests, police said. And in Minneapolis, thousands of protesters surrounded a police precinct and set it on fire. They spray-painted the sides of the building, tried to climb up it, and cheered as the flames engulfed the building.A protester winces in pain after being sprayed with pepper spray by police during a demonstration near the Memphis Police Department precinct in Memphis, Tennessee, on May 28.

You sound like a 'foreign' news service. CNN is dishonest with America daily using Twitter as the conduit. Any tags. THIS violation of the 1st Amendment will come back to haunt Twitter..AND CNN. If any 'required'..ALL should be.

Hope the tag others!

Twitter has totally lost it's collective mind

You should be blocking his account altogether!

Violence with destruction is never acceptable. A President should promote peace not violence. Shame on this man and not my president.

Will CNN exist after USAttyHuber acts? Enough of your lies. SorosEnemyofthepeople

Wow, so he cares more about the looting and protest violence than the guy who got die cause the police? He always wants to solve everything with the National Guard, he said that about Chicago and yet did nothing! Just spraying his venom every time!

CNN is fake news. CNNisFakeNews

This pisses me off as MN Voter.. stay the eff out KKK TRUMP..

Excellent, twitter is right to stop the bully king

Amen 🙏

It's all well and good flagging that tweet but we all know it should be taken down. I had my account restricted for calling James Woods a cunt, but Trump threatening to have civilians shot isn't violating the rules? WTF

Eto na naman po ang mga 'bleeding hearts' 😂 ..looters? Shoot them!

Teeter is full of 💩.... he wants to stop the violence

Twitter needs to completely gut Trumps tweets and throw him off Twitter. Maybe if he did his job like he’s supposed to do, this wouldn’t have happened. He’s supposed to unite America. All he’s done is divide and destroy, divide and destroy.😡

It is about time

I love American politics, so! funny!!!

Everyone knows that Trump is all talk. His bullying tactics are easily beaten and dismissed. Take note take a stand and do what is right, Twitter has.

Good job Twitter 👍

The President should be calling for calm.

He needs to be in jail for crimes against humanity.

Why is it still available. Why is twitter protecting a white supremacist.

Trump thinks this is China were you just shoot people . Something has to be done about this step up do the right thing!!

Ban realDonaldTrump from Twitter

LowellRoemer But this is acceptable & in no way glorifies violence. Bias!

Why hasn't FakeNewsCNN been flagged jack?

Trunp doesn’t know how to lead. He is purposely tearing this country apart with his racist narrative disregard for the LGBTQ community and anyone else that doesn’t agree with his dictator ways

Twitter : aaah i luv frying up. It’s so Satisfying 😂

ThankYouJack It’s past time.

So you're saying it is ok to loot? Allow this wannabe American savages to continue this anarchy? They are savages and barbaric in nature, they deserve to be treated the same!

Why? He's said much, much worse and nothing's come of it. Is it because he's trying to take action against social media for being biased?

Time to stop the BULLYING !!!

Unbelievable. Mr. Crazy takes 'psycho' to new heights.

The fascist of the US will be pissed off 🙄

Whatever this clown believes.... Right now a private company silence the highest level of government.... If you believe its a win for democracy think again...

Governers of states are responsible for the mess they allowed to accumulate while in office

Asamoh_

Twit is going down

These protesters are 'thugs,' but the Charlottesville Nazis were some 'fine people.' Seems pretty black & white to me. Literally.

Go, Twitter!!! 😂😂👍

Excellent response, well done Twitter!

Twitter is allowing it's platform to be used to organize acts of violence and domestic terrorism by the rioters and looters. Tens of THOUSANDS of tweets calling for violence in MN. I have reported hundreds, personally, and not a single one has been removed.

Hey Fake news, we both know this is a losing battle for twitter. They only get to do what they like because the U.S FG gave them the right to. like a little kid, their toy will be taken away soon.

Don’t mind us, we’re still just taking out the trash around here!

Why hasn't his account been, at the very least, suspended for a few days?

This is the POTUS? An ill equipped, sitting duck president threatening Americans with violence.

The ' Deep State ' in action !

CNN should be sued for falsely editorializing Trumps tweet. He was referring to business owners protecting their businesses, not the national guard. It was a plea to stop the looting so that nobody is hurt... leave it to CNN, fake News

CNN followers are beyond delusional lol

I love this !

We must remove the cancer of Trump but vote or by will.

He awake yet? I’m glad he doesn’t own a dog

Presidents should not tweet. Maybe that should be a new rule going forward?

Cannot wait for him to wake up and see this

Thank you Twitter !

What a 🤡

Here is the deleted message for everyone to see. As far as I can tell, he is basically saying he is willing to shoot more unarmed black people. He has to be removed from power. Americans, use your second amendment rights and take over this tyrannical government.

In fact, Trump has always stood with thugs, whether it is Hong Kong or the United States!

I don't get it? I thought it was lawful for police or national guard to use firearms for crime prevention in the US.

Instead of that innocent guy Disney 's duck should be under his knees, just Disney's duck im not figuring out someone 🤷‍♂️

People are not rioting because George floyd was killed..they are rioting because blacks have been killed before with no action......riot is a language of people who have not been heard

They are not 'protests'. They are violent riots.

Perception is reality. The spin on this is what people will believe. I don’t foresee a change in behavior just more digging in.

Twitter VS the mad king. madkingtrump

Give 45 HELL! Twitter 👍🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

So.... Is saying Trump is lying, and the National Guard WON'T shoot looters and rioters?

Now we wait for him to wake up...

Trump always fuels the flames instead of trying to extinguish them.

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. People would start shooting when they start to become victims of looting.

CNN is truly, the Enemy of the State.

GOTTEM !!!

You are fake news.

Asamoh_ Are you dafts at cnn?...why you not headlining it also states 'it's in the public interest for the tweet to be accessible to the general public'?

Communist News Network Read your byline- FakeNews- President Trump is going to shoot Looters? 🤔 The original states - When looting starts/ Shooting Starts - You ever stop and think that the two go hand in hand that the looters just might be armed and will start the violence

Just in case any moron still thinks it was about soldiers ...

It’s an NRA NRA tweet obvi. It was meant for the nra voter

More rules for conservatives only, proving Trump right. What about all the people calling for violent riots on the left? What about Iran’s leader calling for the slaughter of Jews? Lawsuits a comin

Things morbidlyobese realDonaldTrump will do before being briefed on corona: 1.Wake up with phone on his hand 2.Send one or more tweets that glorify hatred, crime, racism, blame BarackObama TeamPelosi JoeBiden ..basically divide America 3.POTATO 4. GOLF 3. Twitter Again

Yeah I’m sure some of them store owners now are thinking twice about not calling in the National Guard sooner to stop the rioting an looting this is nothing about a man’s death it’s all about looting pillaging in the black community! 🤬

Fake news CNN

MAGA IS ALL!

While the impeachment process was being televised in every TV stations, Trump was at The World Economic Summit...which I couldn't comprehend his reasoning for being their. I'm just saying

trumpmeltdown on the way.

He’s thrilled at the distraction from 100,000+ deaths due to his disinterest and corruption. Next up: mowing down Americans in the streets.

'This Tweet violated the Twitter Rules about glorifying violence.'? OBVIOUSLY - For 'Twitter to Interpret That as GLORIFYING VIOLENCE' is Incredibly STUPID. Ha, ha!!!!!!!!!!! President Trump is an Absolute GENIUS. President Trump's Genius is even EXPOSING Twitter. WOW!

Trumps response to the murder of this man was scripted and not from the heart at all. Therefore you shouldn’t be surprised that the real man and the real attitude comes across when he types his own messages. He didn’t care yesterday and he won’t care today.

If Trump reacted to COVID-19 as quick as he did to this twitter fight then maybe there wouldn't be 100k people dead today.

Wow, I mean Americans are you seeing your country turn into China ? What is that government you have right now.

'ohoh bon fout' like we say in kreyol..... wait till he wakes up and see this ... he's going to lose his shit.

It does not. It is a FACT a gentleman was shot by a pawn shop owner when the gentleman attempted to loot a pawn shop. Since when is that Glorifying Violence? CNN has tweeted out the Burning of building by Criminals as 'Protesting'- No it's Criminal Acts. Where is your flag

Wonderful!

That’s awesome!

Of course, everyone knows that the human rights and democracy you are talking about is just a tool to put pressure and repression on anyone who opposes you and nothing else,

Eagerly waiting for the tantrums .....

🤣🤣🤣

Does he post his own tweets?

This is the reason I cannot react on it either.

F-ck you Donald Duck.

He already thinks he can say or do anything and get away with it so kudos to Twitter for standing up

Trump is even unfit for twitter... Smh moneydoesntbuyclass

I volunteer to tell him his tweet has been censored for glorifying violence!!!! Can you imagine? His head will spin! SPIN!

Mr. Trump, is your answer to injustice, discrimination and crime, the order to shoot and kill innocent people? They have taken to the streets to say that crime, discrimination and lies are enough. Is this your democracy and human rights?

Thank you Jack and Twitter Now if only Zuckerberg followed Facebook's policies and banned/flagged Trump's Facebook account and blocked false political ads, rather than having zero moral compass for the sake of profit.

Maybe Twitter should put him in Twitter jail or suspend/revoke him like everyone else who need to follow the same rules? Now he’s got his big balls EO on, he’s going to push them over their limits. Let’s see if they allow it (they will).

The Great Negotiator.

President Trump is an Absolute GENIUS. President Trump's Genius is even EXPOSING Twitter! WOW!

he should have had thugs DerekChauvin & TouThao arrested to face murder charges by now

jack isn't joking here men.

Someone should tell Twitter that Trump is still their President.

yeah but people can threaten his life all day long and nothing happens 🙄 not biased at all.

how’s the twitter stock doing overnight?

If you didn't have your alarm set for this morning... You do now.

This is what the popcorn gif was made for.

Fight for freedom! What a beautiful scenery!

Donald Trump on violent Minneapolis protests: Mayor Jacob Frey 'very weak,' 'thugs' dishonor George Floyd's memoryAs fires burned around the Minneapolis Police Department’s 3rd precinct, President Donald Trump lashed out on Twitter, calling the city’s mayor 'weak' and saying that 'thugs are dishonoring the memory of George Floyd.' Where’s the lie? He is right on both. The ppl who stormed that capitol with guns threatening the governor were true 'thugs.' These ppl who are protesting are just fed up and exercising their constitutional right to peacefully protest. Get it straight POTUS

Twitter Places Fact-Checking Warning On Trump Tweet For 1st TimeA link is added to a tweet in which the president claims without evidence that mail-in ballots are fraudulent. A Twitter spokesman says the tweet wasn't deleted because it didn't discourage voting. Should just save the time and leave it in as a permanent footer for all his tweets. He's a liar. He lies on Twitter everyday. There needs to be much more of this. Finally! Glad to see Twitter doing the right thing.

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. By his definition, correcting his followers' misspelling of 'they're' is 'silencing conservative voices.' It's an asterisk to a link correcting the error, not censorship, ya big dummy.
