Trump has got to go

Trump iyice çuvalladın, danışmanların aldıgı parayı hak etmiyor. Halkı ile ters giden liderler yıkılmaya mahkumdur.

Just like Trump is on TV every day about the COVID-19 he needs to be on TV every day trying to solve the problems that this country is going through 🤡

I have been flagged for saying bad things about him..

Hey everyone I honorably recommend ryan_j.nancy he helped me to recover my stolen gmail and Facebook accounts, you can contact him on Instagram ryan_j.nancy and hangout nancyryan363gmail.com he's very responsible, reliable and active to unlock your accounts.

About time.

Twitter was wrong.

Let’s see if they flag Kaepernick7

Postalkim1 In 1965, Martin Luther King Jr. called George Wallace 'perhaps the most dangerous racist in America today'. Today, realDonaldTrump used Wallace’s very own words to tweet orders to his RacistTrumpTerrorists Somebody should ask him, why those words?

Where is free speech for conservatives?

Flag the fraudsters!!!

⬇️

I am going to delete my account from Twitter. I signed up for Twitter only to read the president tweets. If I am going to be restricted to read his tweets I rather prefer not to be with Twitter I have another choices. I hope many people follow me.

Trump has been inciting violence since day one of his poisonous tenure.🤨

RememberKentState

Trying to figure out what else do you expect from an imbecile

Trump is Hitler

The Trump's should buy Twitter and declare it a religion!

Really🤨

What is the matter with this man.

Twitter is biased!

Yet, so many on the left never get this editorializing. Twitter is now publisher of content, and subject to liability laws.

Twitter is being generous in not suspending Trumps account.

Oh, but this tweet is okay?

The sitting president is threatening to use the military to execute American citizens without trial and all Mark Cuckerberg can do is chide jack for enforcing Twitter’s TOS. Sounds about White!

Looks we’re going for the burnt orange color, having abandoned plain orange.

So both accounts are Trumps personal accounts?

Who runs the Whitehouse account. Fanning flames

Finally

He's trying to distract you.

Please support Jack Dorsey and Twitter. They are COURAGEOUS patriots! 🇺🇸 NeverTrump

😂😂😂

Mr Trump ....from a voters perspective. Your tweeting is hurting your chances for re-election. I suggest leaving Twitter and arresting the officers that murdered GeorgeFloyd as a very good start that you are actually paying attention to the American people of all color. POTUS

bantrumpfromsocialmedia bantrumpstwitter BanTrumpOnTwitter BanTrumpNow realDonaldTrump POTUS WhiteHouse

.Fake News spinning Twitter bias. Why does fake news turn a blind eye to all the abused women in its porn sites advertising....

WERE LIVING IN A FUCKING MOVIE

Looting leads to shooting. It's happened already. Why are we jumping to the president saying the national guard is going to shoot people? They were sent to regain control and he has expressed nothing but sympathy to the family and African American community.

Why is Twitter censoring the official White House account of our government while allowing Iran’s supreme leader to tweet death notices to Jews and Israel? Thinking face

jack thanks!

I can't believe he said that

Trump delete your twitter account it will do some of us some good. the fact is yo don't care about george floyd. you called the incident a event is that some kind of sick joke. it's not a event a man's life was tragically taken away from him bc of a mentally ill cop.

Double burn!

Going to have short twitter stock price today they are going to be off channel

The POTUS is fighting with twitter because they don't agree with his methods, guess what , they are free to, that's what freedom is

加油,喊加油,受压迫和歧视的美国民众们, 拿起你们手中的枪,射向那些畜生不如警察的胸膛。

But twitter doesn’t do anything about this from one of their check mark users...

BanTrump

He is activating his domestic terror cells and looking for a civil war. He and the GOP will happily burn the country to the ground on their way out.

Thank you, Twitter.

Twitter Sanctions White House Tweet, Which Repeated Earlier Trump TweetTwitter has censored a post from the official White House Twitter account, after it reposted a tweet from President Trump. boycott twitter advertisers until they treat conservatives fairly and equally with their leftist sponsors Twitter deletes tweets of right wing people or even religious ones. If they will regulate free speech they must be regulated and made accountable for the opinions here. It's great watching them lose their 💩 Imagine the whole WH is wrapped up in strategizing on a witty (petty) comeback for labeling lies and threats while countless lives are being lost to Covid-19...

White House retweets Trump tweet restricted by Twitter for 'glorifying violence'The social media platform did not remove Trump's post, choosing instead to block users from liking, replying to or sharing the message. What a damn fool. He has lost 100,000 citizens during this pandemic. A real leader would be more concerned about his citizens and other pressing matters. But, he has left the people on our own - including 41 million who have lost their jobs. He's the leader of a failed state.

Spot on Kayleigh! Twitter is Chinese propaganda. The only fool who believes China is trump. He believed them over our intel on covid.
