Twitter removes a tweet that had been retweeted by President Trump that falsely said that there was a cure for the coronavirus.

Twitter said early Tuesday morning,"Tweets with the video are in violation of our COVID-19 misinformation policy."

Trump also retweeted tweets defending the use of the drug hydroxychloroquine, including one that accused Dr. Anthony Fauci, a member of the White House coronavirus task force, of misleading the public by dismissing the drug. "I have not been misleading the public under any circumstances," Fauci responded on ABC's"Good Morning America" on Tuesday morning when asked for his reaction to Trump's retweets.

Fauci reiterated that the"overwhelming prevailing clinical trials" that have looked at the efficacy of hydroxychloroquine have indicated that it's"not effective" in treating the coronavirus.He conceded, for example, last week at one of his restarted coronavirus White House briefings that it will likely"get worse before it gets better." The president has also been touting the importance of wearing masks after dismissing them for months.

Twitter has been much more aggressive in recent months in either removing tweets posted by the president, fact-checking them in real time or even placing warning labels over them.in May when he claimed there was"NO WAY" an election with boosted mail-in voting would be legitimate. Twitter added a fact-check label to both tweets.that asked federal regulators to revisit a 1996 law that protects websites from liability for what their users post.

realdonaldtrump does not have a convincing administrative policy. Its strategy is to slaughter the poor, immigrants and blacks. The vast majority of citizens.

Falsely As if NBC knows the truth. These arragont aholes piss down your back and tell you it's raining. They put Tom Hanks on to berate Americans about not wearing mask but no mention of his Hydroxychloriquine use.

Trump continues to deal out false statements, giving false hopes to his folliwers, because he has no truthful good news to tell them. His inability to handle the issues of the pandemic are coming out, in the numerous lies he is telling the people.

I really want to to know why no one has insisted that this man be subjected to a drug and alcohol blood test on a daily basis and why this is not standard protocol for any leader presiding in OUR White House!!!

There is HCQ

Every day you prove him right, enemy of the people.

There’s a treatment

NBCNewYork PROGRESSIVES Can't Handle TRUTH! IDIOTS

NBCNewYork TRUMP=TRUTH!

NBCNewYork Welcome freedom of speech!

Falsely

Gullible realDonaldTrump got plunked again. This time by a video of FAKE doctors put together by breitbart.

Instead of totally removing the Tweet. It may have been better to Flag the Tweet as Fake News. The general audience should evaluate what we read before sending it to the public. Stay safe😷🤓

This is part of the reason why I hate Trump , his lies and inaction has cost us the lives of hundreds of thousands of people

Enemy of the people.

You know it has to filter through the totally unbiased Twitter medical professional interns first.

Falsely? Doctors disagree. There is a cure

Who's behind all that? Gates!!!

Maybe the virus cannot be completely cured, but you can’t deny that these drugs can save lives

Typical.

We have one of these guys in office. And “Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot, Nothing is going to get better. It's not.” ― Dr. Seuss, The Lorax.

Twitter doesn’t want you to know about cures...not until after the election.

They have know for years of its safety and effectiveness against SARS type corona illnesses.

SevereSociety Trumpie is falling apart.

How would you best describe this so called cure?

But there is.

Media: 'Listen to doctors!' Also media: 'No! Not THOSE doctors!' 🤭

One again, Trump is on the wrong side of an issue. It's like you can almost always assume whatever he supports is wrong. ResignNowTrump

Among about a dozen other lies.

trump is also not a doctor and why can other politicians retweet things that are wrong and it's ok, but not him?

Can we just get on with it and shut down Trump’s Twitter account?

NBC = enemy of USA

Hydroxychloroquine. Blood on your hands. Your hate for Trump The Cure

😂😂😂😂😂😂🤭🖕🏽

And the Senate should’ve removed Trump months ago

About time!

Why isn’t his acct suspended for 12 hrs then

Continue to remove the lies Twitter. Thank you

VOTE BLUE TO STAY ALIVE!

Sadly, Hundreds of frontline healthcare workers have died from the coronavirus in the US. If there was a cure as the Trumpers claim, they would still be alive.

Have they removed the tens of thousands of Russia collusion tweets brought to you by MSM yet?

Twitter deciding the medicine too. Amazing.

These are real doctors stating information they believe is true. You people, and Twitter, has no right to censor them.

The tweet was a doctor stating a fact. What's up with that Democrat jack ?

Next is Bleach !

HCQ is one of the safest drugs and is effective against Covid19. Ppl need to be asking why the establishment is trying to develop expensive treatments when we already have one that costs pennies.

That’s a dangerous lie. I’m glad his account was suspended

I am not taking the cure!

This man is a complete embarrassment

Yeah it’s called hydroxychloroquine

Why does he continuously lie ? It’s shameful

If they are all doctors and have a treatment that worked and cures... how can it be false

a sad, weak, little man. grasping at attention and getting none. potus where are those tax returns, criminal?

There is a cure for coronavirus, its Trump getting defeated in the November election.

How do the 'journalists' already know it's false? NBCIsFalling

You sheep!!! Trump is NOT the enemy, use your brains. Look at every Democrat ran city or state for thAt matter...good grief!!!🤔🤔🤔

There is a cure you liberal liars...

Fuck this guy is embarrassing how can’t his ppl be getting tired of him

And in November we will remove Trump the source of all these lies and propaganda. Vote.

Do deadbeat donald supporters care that he is a complete fraud. I have heard them say he has done great things for America. We have the trump pandemic and the Trump recession,both caused by his incompetence and mishandling of the trump virus. Now we have rioting caused by him.

Even Twitter is getting tired of your lies and incompetencey. Wow! That says it all when they take down your tweets.

leftist media are the true Nazis.

TrumpLiesAmericansDie TrumpPandemicFailure

As always realDonaldTrump was spreading propaganda to insight violence from the American people.

The President is a compulsive liar.

The United States, as a whole, needs to lay down the law and say nobody over 65 can serve as President, Vice-President, in Congress or the Senate. This bullshit with Trump has gone on long enough — he’s a lying old bastard and crooked to the core. Need to remove McConnell too.

I forgot. The Science is settled, trust the experts.... unless they are experts that don't agree with what we said, then censor them.

You idiots will do as you are told.

I'm sure Facebook let it go. finkd is owned by Trump, for some reason.

The evil machine calls it false cure... God will expose you all

Yeah, but no one takes his tweets seriously right? 😐😐😐😐😐

How dare those idiot doctors try and tell Twitter what’s medically correct.

Travel industry leaders ask Trump, lawmakers to expand COVID-19 testing to revive sectorA group of 14 travel industry leaders asked President Donald Trump and top members of Congress Monday to expand coronavirus testing. Maybe all travel points could get 15 minutes tests. Sure would help. Whoever or whatever it takes for this man to do his job right it's okay with me For me, the most uncomfortable feeling would be is to wear a mask while seated in the airplane for 4 to 5 hours or more and then at the gate, waiting to board the connecting flight to my destination.

Trump again pushes unproven drug as COVID-19 treatmentA week after appearing to project a more serious tone about the coronaviru s, President Donald Trump is back to pushing unproven claims that an anti-malaria drug is an effective treatment and challenging the credibility of the nation&39;s leading infectious disease expert. Dr. Anthony Fauci pushed How is it an unproven drug when doctors all over the country & world have used it with success? hey if you can't get verification from the fracking fda, then you know at best quackery is what you're relying on as science, while at worst you're simply up to no good, hmmm? He said the same about masks.
