Trump threatens shut down social media platforms after Twitter put a disinformation warning on his false tweets

Trump has threatened to close down social media platforms if they "silence" conservative voices.

The message comes after twitter for the first time tagged one of the president's tweets with a fact check warning Tuesday. The platform had been under pressure to take action after Trump groundlessly accused MSNBC host Joe Scarborough of being involved in a murder on the platform. President Donald Trump threatened to close down social media platforms if they censor conservative voices, after Twitter on Tuesday tagged one of his messages with a fact check warning.

"Republicans feel that Social Media Platforms totally silence conservatives voices. We will strongly regulate, or close them down, before we can ever allow this to happen. We saw what they attempted to do, and failed, in 2016," tweeted the president. "We can't let a more sophisticated version of that happen again. Just like we can't let large scale Mail-In Ballots take root in our Country. It would be a free for all on cheating, forgery and the theft of Ballots. Whoever cheated the most would win. Likewise, Social Media. Clean up your act, NOW!!!!"

VILE SINISTER EVIL OF THE 'CREATURE' CONSIDERS ITS NEXT MOVES as 'IT' PLOTS & FITS the 'Puzzle Pieces' to TAKE THE SHAPE of 'ITS' MASTER DESIGN. TRUMP'S 'ALTERNATIVE WORLD' - the NEO-NAZI REGIME RISES!!!

If he shut down Twitter, he could no longer tweet. Half his day would be freed up.

sikit sikit ngancem terus..jadi cemen neh orang!!

Lol relax.

dolt

His false tweet? So fake news now decides who's tweet is correct You're the false news.

Too late to put 'a disinformation warning” on RealDonaldTrump dangerous tweets jack - that should have been done long time ago. His account should have been suspended because of racism, bigotry, bullying, lies. Twitter casually suspends accounts for less damaging offenses.

Can he actually do it? Is this democracy

Why don't you, realDonaldTrump and your MAGA maggots create your own Twitter, Facebook and Google and leave us alone?

LIBERAL = COMMUNISM

is part of MSM? Amazing!!!

😂😂😂他没有twitter可怎么活啊?

..it is audacious, to say the least for Twitter to fact check on the POTUS - the highest point of info source. And check with❓

I would laugh if they shut down his account he would be suicidal... No more misinformation, brainwashing, or market manipulation.

Please twitter cancel his account soon

Restrict some of their services for a short time.

Does he have that authority?

LOL, go Twitter....

He can’t. Neither legally, or any other way. He might be able to lean on Jack somehow.

Maybe the conservative voices should tell the truth then

Yes pls shut down alot of Chinazi, China fake account desseminate fake news! Pls get rid all those phantom account

Trump 101 Threats and intimidation

Big baby!

I went to sleep in America woke up in China.

Not many kids give up their own toys to easily...

If he shut down Twitter then he would actually have to do some work!

Great ideas come naturally to the world leaders during the coronavirus days

The one with tiny but filthy hands will find that he is pissing into the wind ... Tell him I said it.

Can someone in the White House remind him he doesn't have that power?

Uh Donald you must wake up. Wake up. He had a dream that he was emperor. maniac

لا خلاص الشيمة، لا تزعلووه

US Constitution says No to that stupid idea. If you talk stupid & communicate with constant lies then you get consequences. What you are proposing IS A VIOLATION OF FREE SPEECH. It's in the US Constitution. 1A

realDonaldTrump is full of Xi !

Twitter has a duty to warn public against harmful, manufactured lies. Like transporters of explosives, acid or toxic gas.

His false tweets, really? Yet I thought I was following a professional business news page. Why are you all so biased?

Hahaha

Oh but he’s right again....🤷‍♂️

Try it. America will revolt. Trump will never be able to do that. China tried or trys unsuccessfully and people always find a way to communicate. You could always leave the platform if you don't like it. As long as they do it to both sides it is fair game.

True dictator my president the true dictator little bit to remind me of the Venezuelan president couple of years ago

Chairman Trump strikes again

Dictator mentality

Good. Enough with censorship

'Waaaah! Stop telling people that I'm a liar or I'll revoke your first amendment rights!'

Good.......shut it down.

What would he do all day?

Well, we all knew this is coming...
