The president will sign an executive order today looking to smack down on social media companies. The order was being written and rewritten last night, but we were told it is going to be quite pointed.

“President Trump has spent his life in thrall to numbers -- his wealth, his ratings, his polls. Even during the deadly coronavirus pandemic, he has remained fixated on certain metrics -- peppering aides about infection statistics, favoring rosy projections and obsessing over the gyrating stock market.— 100,000 Americans dead from the novel coronavirus — Trump has been uncharacteristically silent.

ANOTHER TRUMP “POWER CENTER” … BLOOMBERG’S JENNIFER JACOBS: “Guilfoyle’s Influence Rises as Trump Re-Election Race Tightens”: “Former Fox News personality Kimberly Guilfoyle has built her own power center within Donald Trump’s re-election campaign, helping to bolster fundraising amid the coronavirus pandemic even as the president frets about his standing with voters.for two years. But since taking a role in mid January as national chairwoman of the Trump Victory Finance Committee -- where she draws a salary of $15,000 a month -- she has amassed a team and operates with the authority of a member of the Trump family.

PROTESTS TURN UGLY IN MINNESOTA -- “As Mayor Frey calls for officer's arrest, violence intensifies in Minneapolis,” by the Star Tribune’s Liz Navratil and Libor Jany: “Hours after Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey called for a police officer’s arrest and charges in the death of George Floyd, violent protests erupted anew, causing widespread damage and looting at south Minneapolis storefronts.

Donald t-rump has got to go !! Donald t-rump has got to go ! Donald t-rump has got to go ! HE INSIGHTS EVIL DISSTRUCTION !!!

Who cares he has no authority to censure anyone he just thinks he does and when he tries to think nothing happens !

Perhaps he could write an executive order that would give him a high school diploma so that he could at least have read and understand the constitution.

Question: can trump use an executive order to back up time to the point where he didn’t gut the CDC and that he took this inevitable pandemic serious enough to where he took action to try and avoid more deaths to occur?

Boo hiss boo his potus extract head out of Ass. libertarian2020

Dork

Pure retribution because twitter did the right thing - exposed Trump’s lies! And he talks about decreasing regulation for the betterment of all, no it’s all for the betterment of Trump.

It won't change the truth about him. The truth will win out!

realDonaldTrump

They do that in China and Russia. Not here.

The order turned out to be completely toothless. Just like our dear leader.

Trump has to be out! He is the worse president ever´

100,000 dead and your worried about Twitter! RESIGN!

grave risk

He can write as many as he wants! Amendment tofollow once he is out.

Ooh! That should not stop the racial riots, and not assist with the continuous pressure of Covid on the health system, and help the economic crisis slowly consuming the bankrupt economy. Good way to serve your over inflated fat ego, moron realDonaldTrump

24 hrs HE takes revenge when HE feels slighted...”I won’t allow it!” Yet, despite being left with a Obama pandemic response plan, DNI & CDC weeks of warnings, does NOTHING to provide PPE, testing, life-saving medical equip. & personnel100K DEAD DUE TO INCOMPETENT LIAR-in-CHIEF.

Great!!!!!

Who cares?

positivejanelle Summary ...

The “fuhrer” has no power to abridge the first amendment

Trump and Putin's business partner girl.

Trumps afraid he's a coward

Such a happy couple.

Whenever I want to read opinions from the dumbest sheep in America I read Politico posts.

If he does this, I’m trying to decide between blocking Trump’s account or just reporting every offensive tweet I see from him.

Trump’s a adolescent bully and a failure in the role of president. He is out of his league and can not do the job

And everyone should laugh at Trump for doing it. Congress would have to change the law. They won't.

Roflmao 🤣

Wow the orange drama queen gets all but hurt when he can't push his propaganda bullshit- isn't fox Breitbart and OAnon enough? Guess not, his approval rating is in the toilet.

He’s pathetic

100,000 plus dead Americans.

Who's that lady

Order sounds just like trumps health plan.

Reasons exist FOR CONGRESS to regulate social media gathering and selling personal information, and spreading disinformation with impunity. CorruptSelfInterest of Donald Trump AllergyToTruth not a reason but excuse. TrumpNeedsToBeSmackedDown quickly by US courts AND CONGRESS.

And WHEN LIES DESTROY PEOPLE’s lives especially from THE BULLY PULPIT? Think there should be laws allowing people to sue media the likes of FB.. FACTS MATTER!!

Let's hope. Their censorship of ONLY conservative points of view is Outrageous. Monopoly!

Try it! Go ahead you wanna be dictator

If Twitter was going to “censor” Trump, should have done it for his Scarborough tweets—for breaking their “Rules.” They should have suspended his account, like they do others. But they don’t because they know those tweets hurt him! That’s the power of the 1st A.

No accountability. Wants to lie without karma. Will never succeed

TWITTER SHOULD HAVE CANCELED TRUMP'S ACCOUNT QUITE A WHILE BACK... IT WAS TWITTER WHO EMPOWERED AN IDIOT LIKE TRUMP TO CONTINUE HIS RELIANCE ON NON-FACTS, NO FACTS TO SAY ANYTHING HE WANTS. TWITTER CREATED THE 'CREATURE' KNOWN AS TRUMP!

I don’t care if social media companies go away as long as it can permanently silent him ! FB elected this clown

Was this before or after he retweeted a video stating the only good Democrat is a dead Democrat?

🙄🙄🙄😆😆🤣 And no court will uphold it. Next.

He can distract all he wants to, but 100000 are dead and he has no plan except to sit on his hands while more die

We have it totally under control. It’s one person coming in from China, and we have it under control. It’s going to be just fine.” Trump CNBC interview 1/22/20... 100000 Dead as of Memorial Day 2020

Will the order remove protections from companies like Fox News, which has been denying and downplaying the virus threat?

Trump will be 'Slapped Down' in November! Elect JOE BIDEN President 2020! VOTE blue for Senate & House. Wipe the slate clean from the GOP. The Soul of our Nation is at stake. This is no joke. Trump/ GOP are threatening the stability of the USA but we will fight & overcome!❤️🇺🇸⚖️

POTUS throws a temper tantrum. The man is mentally disturbed.

realDonaldTrump POTUS JUST STOP THE BULLSH*T!! YOU ARE THE REASON SOCIAL MEDIA IS IN SUCH SHAMBLES WITH YOUR LIES, FAKE NEWS, AND BULLYING! TrumpForPrison2020 !!

People are dying. Our entire way of life is upside down. And this tool is working hard on legislation to spank Twitter. And some still say he is the only president whoever care about us. Really!

Trump is joke and a petulant juvenile insecure child

So the Republican platform now is that government SHOULD interfere with business? That sounds very socialist.

So glad they have all this free time now that the Covid crisis is in check and we have a solid national strategy for dealing with it.

What a creep !

Tell him to put it in a very safe place

BIG STORY !!! 🇺🇸

They have way more money and will win in court.

Imagine a world without Trumpland being a punk 24/7. Can you say President Joe? Yes you can.

If he only put forth 5% of the effort and urgency he has in this personal Twitter issue into his response to the global pandemic, our country would be in a much better place. pettylittletoddler

Free speech is not free if it is not FREE FOR ALL

I can live a few months without Twitter, HIS favorite platform, if it means we don’t have to hear from him until he pleads not guilty in 2021 at his trial.

If nothing else, it'll be entertaining.

So he does nothing but drag his feet while 100k+ die. twitter fact checks him and within 2 days he is signing an executive order. How about signing One against gun violence. Or police brutality. Or any of the myriad issues occurring. POS VoteHimOut Hypocrite

AdonphCovidler

Trump too much a coward to take his viewers away from Twitter and move to another social media platform! CNN Whitehousepress covid1948 TrumpIsALaughingStock TrumpKillsThousands TheLastWord

Dont forget your propaganda platform FACEBOOK, RAPIST.

Of course he's violated their policies but yet he persists. Until he is kick off social media can the world breath again. Dangerous Donnie posts hate and misinformation! Twitter suspend his account!

So it will be the First Trump amendment 🤡🤡🤡🤡

40.7 Americans out of work but trump is complaining that twitter pointed out a blatant and dangerous lie.

We must fight this dictator in chief. Both him and Melania look unhappy and miserable in this photo. Most important, get rid of the Senate that's enabling Russian Patriot Trump. Time to tell Putin this is our country not yours to play with.

And quite unconstitutional. Wait he has stacked the court with 200 judges because a lot of people dud not vote. Including 2 Supreme Court Justices who don’t believe in “staare decisis.”

About time

Careful Donnie you’re gonna get tossed off twitter and have to go out and hold rallies. Thousands will get sick, if u had a conscience that might bother you.

November can’t come fast enough for majority of Americans

Meanwhile, we had the 100,000 dead American milestone. But re this, please use words other than 'smack down.' I describes nothing. So it is a regulatory proposal, a tax proposal, a judicial intervention? You know, stuff journalists write about.

ooh, pointed you say?

So after getting rid of IGs who could check his dealing, running America through his family and friends. realDonaldTrump wants to stop social media and MSM checking his lies. That doesn’t sound like playbook of dictators, right? Democracy is overrated 😂😂. moscowmitch anyone?

Yes please let trump lie. Outright lie in the face of truth. America at its best! 100000 Americans dead but we must let the greatest liar continue to tweet whatever comes into his demented mind.

Courts will reject it

Guess y'all should stop propping up this dictator who doesn't understand the first amendment and is actimg like a king.

He wants companies to help him lie

FlushTheTurdNov3rd

FLOTUS 👍🏻

We better take potshots at him as often as we can before he succeeds in shutting us up, after all, he is a public figure which makes him an open game.

realDonaldTrump Attempts to protect himself and hide his lies and conspiracy does not pass the stink test

I am all in favor of disempowering megacorps, all the way to breaking them down into atomized chunks. If Trump does this out of spite at least it will be done.

FoxNews: Breaking News: Social Media scandal. Other News: Breaking news: Unemployment this week added 2.1 million reaching 40%. Breaking News: Covid-19 Death have reach 100+K Trumpers: We still Love you King realDonaldTrump

the king is dead

Good

S*it for brains president again

This is a child lashing out because he got his feelings hurt when he was called out for lying. Pathetic.

It will be tied up in court. This is just a way for Trump to keep spreading his lies without being fact checked. He got his hands smacked and now he is lashing out.

Aaawwwww, poor trumpy, just get out of the kitchen because it’s only going to get hotter as we ALL head toward November!!!

realDonaldTrump keep doing what you do, you’re turning states blue.

How dare Natasha Trump wear a sleeveless dress. Where’s the outrage foxnews like when Michelle Obama wore one. Hypocrites. 🤮

Compare reporting from the left, right and center at

Yawn. It can’t have any teeth. It’s a distraction. Don’t fall for the hype.

Let's see how far Herr Trumptler gets. First Amendment baby...

TRUMP GOT HIS EGO HURT! VOTE BLUE ALL THE WAY!

Has the murderer Derek Chauvin been arrested yet? He killed George Floyd. JusticeForGeorgeFloyd RIPGeorgeFloyd GeorgeFloyd GeorgeFloydWasMurdered

FB is on his side. So which social media platforms? Specifically?

Dear Leader will issue a decree banning criticism of the regime and it's leaders

Spiteful, petty toddler doesn’t like being disciplined so he’s abusing his power to create an illusion they are attacking his free speech! He’s gotten away with saying the most vile things & bullying rivals via twitter for years! Now his lies will be labeled he’s angry!

Quite Pointed = Quite Raging

WTH.... Is this a bill that says social media has to let people lie and mislead the public? realDonaldTrump is supposed to lead us, not try to make us ignorant to facts. Drink that Kool Aid and get in the lemmings line.

Dictators gonna dictate. He hates anything truthful

Another bad attempt to distract from 100,000 americans dead

Glad to hear it cnn and msLSD are out of control

And the attack on the constitution continues 100,000dead

Rewritten by someone literate?

Trump can executive order all he wants. He is only going to shoot himself in the foot by forcing platforms to moderate content even further. This will mean even more fact-checking of Trump's tweets, as literally every single one contains a falsehood of some kind.

I’m so excited.

He's such a baby This is what happens when Twitter had the sensibility to start holding him accountable for his lies This is what he's focused on

Might as well get some entertainment from this meltdown.

Where's Melania's 'I'm with stupid.' t-shirt?

He’s fat. I don’t like him.

What power does he think he has over a private business.

Dumb Donald strikes again and again and again!! Cry baby!!

Free enterprise is great until it hurts Donald and his toxic messages

FAKENEWS

Wow. Where did he find the time? Pandemic and all. 🤷🏼‍♀️

New term. 4th world country. 4thworldcountry

Make Twitter Great Again!

Look for it to be blatantly unconstitutional. TrumpIsANationalDisgrace

Quite pointed and quite unconstitutional.

Institutional racism a satanic spirit protecting evil doers. white police officers, white supremacist, white privilege. Institutional racism are protecting their evil. Racism is America greatest curse that passes on from one generation to the next.

Boy. Oh, boy.

Facebook knew its algorithms divided users, execs killed fixes: report - Business InsiderBusiness Insider is a fast-growing business site with deep financial, media, tech, and other industry verticals. Launched in 2007, the site is now the largest business news site on the web. Divide and rule (Latin: divide et impera), or divide and conquer, in politics and sociology is gaining and maintaining power by breaking up larger concentrations of power into pieces that individually have less power than the one implementing the strategy.
