Twitter just slapped a 'glorifying violence' label on a Trump tweet that threatened George Floyd protesters in Minneapolis with getting shot

Trump wrote late on Thursday: "These THUGS are dishonoring the memory of George Floyd, and I won't let that happen. Just spoke to Governor Tim Walz and told him that the Military is with him all the way. Any difficulty and we will assume control but, when the looting starts, the shooting starts.

Thank you!" Trump tweeted.Twitter placed this tweet behind a block that reads: "This Tweet violated the Twitter Rules about glorifying violence. However, Twitter has determined that it may be in the public's interest for the Tweet to remain accessible." To see it users have to actively click on this block to say they want to read the tweet.

Idiot comment from business insider, that is far more inflamatory, than what Trump said.

I am sure he will take that with his usual grace and good humour!

Since he has a ‘presidential’ account, White House account+ multiple methods to disseminate info to public, Twitter should’ve banned Trump’s personal account after he crossed the line his first year in office. That would’ve forced his hand or at least limited his toxicity.😼

SAI “Yeah! The only people allowed to shoot anyone are the criminals burning Minneapolis to the ground in between stealing some TVs! Take that Orange Man!”

You've misquoted him, looters not protesters.

They're not protesting again, now they're straight up looting stores, Doing real property damage. Sad to say but this won't solve anything Razing hell on they on communities.

They are just stupid ...

youdelikethat nickthreeHEAT what is going on

hblodget Teee heee heee

Make sure you get this one too twitter.

You LIED on Chrome.The mayor is at fault at letting the city burn with no help.Amy Also has dealt with this cop several times.He even killed an Indian.

VOTE HIM OUT 🤬 AND THE GOP WITH HIM VOTE

Do you call a president attempt to put his country in order a threat of violence? When things really go wrong, you will still hold him accountable. His intended message has been misinterpreted. Do you think Trump will order the shooting of his citizens? realDonaldTrump

fake news is so against trumo that they call looters protesters smh

CANCEL TRUMP

Historically those un-United States have always treated black people like garbage, from slavery, jim crow and segregation and other forms of systematic racism. America is just anti-black

Are all protests going to be censored? It’s opening a can of worms. We don’t need a great firewall. We need unfiltered news.

Good!!

C'mon US govt..you've got the expertise, resources and procedures - you've got all that's needed to heal this. This is another, utterly crucial opportunity to show humanity, goodwill and competence under duress. You can do something healing, helpful, renown. Please do.

We know who the real thug is, realDonaldTrump HadEnough BanTrumpFromTwitter BlackLivesMatter A sitting POTUS has called for the gunning down of citizen civillians Article25 now

lsthart You love to see it

No, he was quite clearly talking about the looters who always hijack protests in this way. Whenever a protest tries to happen, looters always show up and ruin it for everyone.

For sure that idiot

Trump needs to sh×t THU some times

Looters, not protestors. Protesting is legal, looting is not and has gotten way out of hand.

Twitter don't give a fuck! Love this platform

Because it was.

I’m happy they finally snapped out of it. Let’s get stupid little Zuckerberg next. They need regulation. Anyone remember when they shut down art bell? What happened to fact checking?

I think it is essential to avoid any double standard. Authoritied should get any advantage in posting offensive stuff. It is finally the time to break Machiavellitism of authorities.

Wow, this is escalating quickly. Trump can’t seem to stop his self-defeating behavior. Putin’s puppet is melting down.
