Washington President Donald Trump signed an executive order targeting social media companies on Thursday, days after Twitter called two of his tweets"potentially misleading."
Speaking from the Oval Office ahead of signing the order, Trump said the move was to"defend free speech from one of the gravest dangers it has faced in American history.""A small handful of social media monopolies controls a vast portion of all public and private communications in the United States," he claimed.
That is literally what dictatorships do.
100,00 dead & civil unrest across the country following the death of George Floyd. Trump has bearly addressed either. Yet this is what he focuses on.
Just that he never reasons deep for comparison ...His life as a gambler deny him wisdom ....
Facebook needs to be regulated. They just delete posts, right and left. Specially posts about God and religion
Welcome to wuhan!
He’s a sociopathic narcissist with low grade mental illness. It’s why he can stand in front of the nation and give himself an A+ when 100,000 Americans are dead. We need to kick him to the curb before he goes full dictator.
TrumpCOVID Trump is busy in petty wars of pride with press while flaunting his abuse of power dressed as executive order, yet no time to save American lives from COVID which actually defines Trump's character, Craven Onerous Vindictive Invasive disastrous
Donald Trump will continue to lie and deceive the American people. Thank you Twitter for being courageous enough to stand up and call out and expose his constant lies.
realDonaldTrump I have a cure for you and your twitter covid. State the truth and they will not have to add bi-line
Well done
Could he focus on the pandemic? Please? He is throwing a fit because he didn't get what he wanted. Yes, that is you, Trump. 46 is almost here!!!! Yaaay!
In other news, dictators attack people who threaten their power.
War war stop war before is too late
MAGA MAGA Make America a Graveyard Again 3000 Americans were by Saudi Arabians on 9/11 so Bush attacked Iraq. 1000 Americans are killed each day by COVID-19 so Trump attacks TRUTH. Bacon is better than Trump. Bacon never lies.
Hitler reincarnate!
Это важный для меня пост
It’s about time somebody comes down on some of these social media companies on there being bias free speech does not need a sensor named Twitter
Lmfao now its a big RED FLAG CNN THERES SOMETHING WRONG here.......... especially when our president calling an enemy of the United states a friend ./
Pity the fact check was wrong. How about Jessie smollet. blasey Ford ? How about the Russian collusion ? How about Griffin and Madonna ? It’s Laughable Political Bias. BanTrumpFromTwitter
And the score is currently 2-0 to Twitter! BanTrumpFromTwitter
WanjikuRevolt Twitter has just hidden one of Trump's tweets tonight about the Minnesota riots. So far as I can tell, no tweet encouraging police officers to be killed has been given similar treatment. Is it?
Social media does not care
Who cares not gonna change nothing he still wrong and he he gonna loose.
Remarkable that this is the first time Twitter finds a statement by President Trump ” potentially misleading”.
Well done Twitter
Wow media control? sounds familiar?
Fake new needs to be a criminal offense after 2 warnings that would re -set What news is supposed be. Im embarrassed that some of our biggest News agencies are so slanted and biased that you cant believe anything they print. God bless America
benshapiro 'Facts don't care about your feelings' Trump didn't get the memo.
He jst b.s like all the b.s he had said....he need to stop he jst hurting himself focuse on whats right bt its sad he cant cause he deals with good conversation i think he was tlking to himself lol 😂😂😂
Disgraceful actions unbecoming of a president
That's exactly what we call misuse of power...
So The Trumpet has heralded his very own FAKE NEWS but says it is free speech Disgraceful!!!
CNN es basura!
That is so messed up, he only did it so he can keep tweeting bullshit and mud slinging...he has a speaker and a press secretary, WTF are they doing
I understand there anger completely them cops should be jailed right away its murder, but burning and looting that's not protest that's just pure thuggery by animals an excuse to rob and burn .
Trump doesn’t govern a country, but manages like an egocentric CEO.
Lol but he still using tweeter everyday!
This is the monster who let 100,000 die because he chose the stock market over the people, then he and President Kushner richly rewarded their cronies with big loot from the stimulus money. There is where the investigation should start. Plus Kelly Loweffler’s big scandal too.
The consequences of electing a president based on emotions. Hope Americans have woken up and should send Trump home this year. He has never accepted any responsibility but very swift to look for scape goat to blame for his inaction.
He's disorganizing his battle fields
Well, took him over three months to react on Covid and less than 48 hours to react for tweeter pointing out his bullshit. Loving this. How do you guys stand for this and haven't kicked him out of your country yet? Don't know who's more pathetic.
He's a mega ego maniac with a narcissistic psychopathic dementia !!! TRUMP IS UNFIT FOR THE OFFICE OF THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES !!! PERIOD ! END OF STORY ! HE NEEDS TO BE OUSTED SOMEHOW ! November can't come soon enough!!! ChumpTrumpmustgo
Twitter suspend him
Which game does he want to win? Who is the most dangerous dictator at the moment?
Everything that Obama built trump has destroyed all his lies have caught up to him and it's all falling apart under his lame leadership, this virus spread is all on him and reopening is going to cause more deaths, there blood is on him!
America is moonwalking into a dictatorship. And they ain't seeing it coming.
Because this is what’s important right now.
Former US president, BarackObama, had asked about feel of media frustrating by Jon Stewart in TheDailyShow that Jon said' you love them, they love you' but for now does anoying POTUS at social media, Is there just individual intolerablity or part of two extream ends of freedom
Trump wants to be Putin and ”Make America New Russia”.....
Come on people, between social media sites, journalists, the news, they ALL munipulate the flow of the creek to support their goals and agendas, wether it for Dems, Reps, a group, or their own interests!! Come on you know they do....they very sneaky and subtle about it!!
TrumpResignNow TrumpResignNow TrumpResignNow TrumpRegime
Ok now let’s see who really has the most power
If they are going to fact check one person....then they need to check ALL!!!! These social media platforms are gotten too big for their brithes and THEY need to be fact checked!!
He is so vindictive.
And yet..nothings changed TrumpIsALoser
Regardless of what Twitter thought of the tweets, they are supposed to be a “platform” and should not editorialize making them a publisher like the rest of the MSM, aka fake news
Trump tryna hide black killings.
McClain_on_NFL IT’S ABOUT TIME!
Stop lying to the people to the people then you big baby
He is a FAILED PRESIDENT on every level. He is has done NOTHING
minneapolisriots
A narcissist that can't handle criticism
Just Two tweets misleading? More like all of his tweets are misleading.
Both are good and can keep us in contact during these dark times all you must remember is to ignore stupid comments sayimg it is or isnt good
Totally misleading
ExecutiveOrder
Finally a POTUS with backbone!!! We had enough of the left controlling everything!!!
The POTUS of big government.
Republicans are not conservative then. A private company should be able to decide what is posted and what gets deleted/fact checked.
Good news!!!
Hahahahaha!!! Whatever...
Bravo
Thinking he is a dictator
There are people dying on your watch, worry about someone other than yourself....do your job !!!
Every politician should be fact checked. These are our leaders. If we can’t trust what they say, then what good are they? We can’t just keep letting people in higher up positions spread misinformation. The stakes are too high. Just be truthful. Is it really that difficult?
Right. Has nothing to do with “public platforms” being edited with bias and impunity, going against their sweetheart legislation deal. Should have happened looong ago.
Ummmmm... I’m waiting on the free speechers to talk about him championing free speech.... by limiting free speech.
JohnBarrowman I would love to see Twitter completely turn off for 24-48 hours just to see guillotinebait go into conniptions without the attention. ShutItDown
Good. If Twitter is now going to tell everyone what we should or shouldn’t believe then they can now take on the liability.
Weak pathetic president. Filled with vial attacks. An online bully. Policies for antibullying exist with online companies for a reason. Nobody, including the president, should be above these rules.
Lol. Trump the Skunk is his nickname in Canada. You guys can have him.
Why he does sign an executive order and ban the police violence against black people why, why not, it ou really want a change me président why don’t you start with the police violence instead of talking shit on Twitter do your job sir!!!
Policy TwitterSupport perhaps to remind the meme what this venue is for, just add a large banner that says for “ Social Entertainment Purposes Only” with consistent pop-up blurbs that state “All posts are only individual personal opinions that must be fact checked .
Excellent
Wow! It takes realDonaldTrump 2 days to do that and yet we still don’t have affordable healthcare when people need it the most. We see where his priorities are.
Yeah he does not want anyone exposing all his lies.
1 day to issue EO for this and 3 months to respond to COVID, 🤷🏽♀️what a terrible “leader”.
Trump should rot in jail. Why isn’t he yet?
Is he using executive orders for his personal use now?
Are we sick of the daily shitshow from this inarticulate buffoon?
Opening the door for Russia to influence in another election
When you are powerful. Ish. 🙄
twitter should ban his account like they did mine
He’s just hanging himself further. If he wasn’t such a moron with the way he tweets this wouldn’t have happens in the first place. He calls EVERYONE names. Sleepy Joe. Do nothing Democrats. Fake media and so on. Like wtf. He can’t take a bit of his own medicine? Dictator wannabe
Big deal it means nothing
Why? 😂
Trump is great, he will win in November by a landslide lol, you liberal sheep
Trump is such a joke! Twitter should be calling out his every tweet as misleading and false!!!
Fake president.
When any power is abused in a free society sooner or later that power finds itself trapped in a maze without scape. That power will also shrink in its own entrapping place and desist to exist in its original way!
Let’s keep fact checking Trump! He wants to continue to lie and never tell the truth well we some us went to school and we can checkmate him.
Bc the Truth threateneds trumps narrative.If he can't Lie at will he's not happy. Waaaaaaa TrumpWhinesAgain
He doesn't like anyone to fact check him. To bad Trump I will fact check you.
Tweeter needs to change their user statements. Three strikes and you are blocked.
Wow, now who's a snowflake Can't handle a little wee bit of criticism....hmmmm.....sounds like a familiar pattern with him.
This is overreach of Executive Power. Hey, why not do the same to CNN, ABC, NBC, CBS, MSNBC, WA Post, NYT when these media companies Fact-Check president tRump? Isn't this action by tRump a possible violation of the First Amendment?
Uhh... Ekstra orange. NogenVilleHaPåpegeDetPåEtEllerAndetTidspunktÅFørEllerSiden.ÅSåKunDetLigesåGodtVæreMigSomNogenSomHelstAndre
I shall support Trump as the electronic media is non social indeed. Why fake news, why target news, why releasing some news and withholding others, why defamation , why back biting, and why the lobby streets.
Meaning what?
Trump should just stop his LYING Tweets
Very soon it’ll happen in many countries where people questions the Govt thru social media
I guess freedom is just a concept and not an actual objective entity. I thought this county was about freedoms for citizen and business to be free from government tyranny. I guess the so call party of the constitution is morally absent it seems.
Won’t people dying and economy the way it is he’s using his energy on this crap!
What a crybaby!
Well done, that is called freedom of speech, now Twitter can ban pedophiles, prostitution and all of the sort instead of people against socialism and dictatorship
Go Twitter.
Trump’s action would have been a social media pandemic yet, I’ve got his back.
Oh My Goodness.... 🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️
100k+ deaths on trump’s watch, most due to his lack of actions! Don’t let this incompetent scumbag get us distracted from this!
🤣🤣🤣
Next up, Fake News CNN. We are the news now. WWG1WGA
Do what everyone has done that doesn't like the service.. Dump it Donnie Disinfectant Don Disastrous Don
What is common between Trump and Kim Jong-un? THEY ARE BOTH CRAZY DICTATOR!
Ha, ha. What a fool.
It's like he's in Time Square on a bull horn telling everyone how 'butt hurt' he is. He should have shook this off.
Dictator at work!
I wish the pandemic and unemployment would similarly motivate President Trump.
“Right now, Obama goes around signing executive orders. He can’t even get along with the Democrats, and he goes around signing all these executive orders. It’s a basic disaster. You can’t do it.'
Why Is BarackObama constantly issuing executive orders that are major power grabs of authority? The country wasn’t based on executive orders.
Is his signature as good as his word ask Atlantic City Casino worker about his promises 🥵
againts вы лживые бляди
When I think he can’t get worst....
please kindly follow I promise to follow back
It's about time!
Trump is so misleading. Can we get an executive order against him?
Legal experts said they were doubtful the move would have any practical effect on the tech giants. Legal observers described the action as 'political theater,' arguing that the order does not change existing federal law and will have no bearing on federal courts.
haryourdailey Was the tweet misleading? There is potential for voter fraud with mail balloting and that's the truth. If you guys will just try to do true journalism.fakenews
CNN
Yes please curtail the law so we can sue Jack Dorsey for allowing abuse by this incompetent trump.
Twitter, Google, And Facebook are liberal left wing tech monsters. This is a fantastic day for the First Amendment. The Constitution truly is a living document. Leftwing liberal Democrat Media can no longer hold this Monopoly.
Read the text of President Trump's executive order targeting social media companies
Barr likes to reinterpret all laws to suit his natrative.
He must have a tiny pen for those tiny hands.
100.000 people dead in the U.S and this president is starting a fist fight with social media. Man, you need to sort out your priorities... SupportTwitter
What a small, petty little man🙄
What a cry baby piece of crap!! I know that you already wear diapers, now I guess we have to find your pacifier! Better call Putin!!! Vote him Out!!!
AG Barr made it clear that Section 230 has been stretched beyond recognition and used by big tech to censor conservative voices, and you know it!! But ya'll keep doubling down on stupid, it helps our Great President!! is fake news, enemy of the people!! WeAreTheNewsNow
PRIORITIES
I’ll because he was finally fact checked for everyone to see. Hasn’t America had enough of Donald Trump? American needs real leadership. A leader with integrity, compassion and a strong moral compass. Right now, we have a Reality TV Monarch.
Trump is dumping the 1st amendment rights of Twitter. Believes he is a dictator.
Democracy dies when our voices are silenced.
Sign one every day for a distraction on the real problems , you worthless piece of crap. We’re all going to sign one on November 3rd VOTEBYEDON🌊🌊🌊
VERY GOOD
Everything he tweets should say misleading
Fake news CNN again...Twitter did not say' potentially misleading'
JohnBarrowman And the dictatorship goes up a step.
This was a really stupid move on his part since now he’s targeting the free speech he claims to want to protect
realDonaldTrump everyone should read Twitter's civic integrity policy
I'm confused, are we protecting the web cesspool or blowing it to smithereens. Explain yourself.
Stormy tried to warn the American public! We didn't listen. A true case of 'Wittle mushroom' syndrome.
2/2 He's already sowing the seeds of mistrust with all this mail voter fraud bullshit. He also has his very own 'Trump Youth', you see them armed to the teeth protesting the guidelines put in place to save their own lives. You think they will accept any other election result?
Pure nazism by the dogfucker trump.
Long shot or not, how do you sue a bot?
That and 50cents will get him ... oh wait basically nothing......
This is all about censorship. He's using the dictator handbook and turning the United States inside out so it can be controlled how other countries are. This president literally just ruined everything America stood for in one term.
Ironically the ones think they defend and pretend freedom of speech just enabled their voice to be stifled... America for now officially is no longer the leader of the free world... So now im going to have to defend idiots on twitter somehow.... Well played Twitter well played
They should lose their liability protection under the existing law if they exercise partisan editorial control over their platform. Your blatant mischaracterization of the executive order is why POTUS calls you “fake news”.
Perhaps if Trump didn’t lie constantly no one would have to check his Twitter account. Like a toddler who just can’t stand being corrected.
If he stops lying through Twitter he has nothing to be concerned about.
Did he use a sharpie 👏
The narcissist throws yet another tantrum and tries to wield dictatorship powers. I’m so sick of this man. He is the biggest embarrassment that the US has ever had.
This is why so many people say he has no masculinity
So a women with power will overreact!?!, But when you do it, What do we call that?
We are with you Twitter and jack PatriotsWearAMask
U are too much fake leader in USA realDonaldTrump u have too apologies USA people who u kiil the are family's if not that u are not going to be ending well for your life God is stronger than you u know how to kiil but u don't know how to take care of Corona viruse
Just love Jack to do the right thing now and ban the prick realDonaldTrump . Imagine the pathetic tantrum then!
Looking especially crusty today.
Free speak is paramount , but outright lies from people in power should be check and made public , shame he not for free markets he conned and lied the stock market to levels of stupidity
Another bullying incident from the two year old in a suit...I hope he continues to show how immature, entitled and incapable he continues to be. He is just causing more damage to his reputation as President and his own re-election.
Who cares? He’s all talk anyways. His shit only stirs people up, and nothing substantial happens.
Growing pandemic in February, Trump does nothing. Twitter calls him out on 2 of his 18,000 lies and he signs an executive order.
He’s worried! Pulling all stops. Trying to distract the public. He’s not able to get out and campaign so he wants to control social media. VOTE!
'(Trump) is trying to steal for himself the power of the courts and Congress to rewrite decades of settled law,' said Democratic Sen. Ron Wyden of Oregon..
100K dead because he did nothing for months yet someone finally posts proof that he’s a lying scumbag so they’d better read the facts and in 24 hours he has a ‘you hurt my feelings order’. Really GOP?
A dictator has been born
It’s abuse of power. He just revealed quick actions on matters that bruise his ego - just not C19 and 100,000+ who didn’t have to die. His negligence is criminal. His tweets can be used against him in court, especially for using a free account to conduct official govt matters.
pussy enough said
There. Fixed it.
He's a loser. Won't have to worry about him soon enough. Next he will moderate the press.
Will any social media sites be shut down because of this? AsktheWorld
Either you’re a publisher or you’re not. It’s that simple. Wonder if Twitter regrets their bogus “fact check” of the President?
That feeling when you get caught lying and decide to make calling out your BS illegal.
And the salute is complete....
👍👍
I swear we are fighting two pandemics: Covid-19 and stupidity.
Word salad fake news, this is CNN.
There is too many people being allowed to character assassinate on their social media platform without legal repercussion.
