Trump tried tweeting from the official POTUS account despite Twitter's ban, but the tweets were immediately removed

Just hours after Twitter permanently suspended Donald Trump's personal account on Friday, the president began tweeting from the official account, @POTUS.

Almost immediately, Twitter removed the series of tweets, in which Trump railed against the tech company, Democrats, what he referred to as the "radical left," and Section 230, a law that gives internet companies the right to police their platforms as they see fit. Twitter also said it's limiting the use of @POTUS or @WhiteHouse — both official accounts operated by the US government — and that it isn't currently planning to suspend them, but that it may do so in the future "if it was really needed to alleviate harm," according to

Taking another rite of ours away, now they’re the ones that get to decide what’s ok an not ok to talk about? FREEDOM OF SPEECH PEOPLE. Wake up before they take all our rights away... democrats suck. Obama, gun rights violations, now biden and free speech violations. fuckedupUSA

Great! Nothing better than alienating 87 million Twitter followers from a different opinion and a true set of facts.

Atlanta those tweets are now government records.

funny_aquila Speaking for myself I feel bad hearing that twitter ban trump from twitting, is there no liberty anymore? Regardless of what so ever the case may be the act of baning him from twitter is just too pathetic.

That a communism way that social media want ...they don’t want fair democracy to all mankind..they are hypocrites just saying..

Is that a pouty mouth I see?

What trump will not believe is that the USA came out and showed out to vote. We showed our numbers in strength. Two words to describe DumpTrump exasperate and exacerbate. Families never want to admit they have a member that has SEVERE mental illness. Republicans here's yours.

Please watch this , this video will change your life

Sad, a man who doesn't accept defeat dies a thousand times.

Can we still get the Ayatollah’s threats about death to America? TDS. It’s a terrible thing.

I bet he's now frantically looking for an old AOL CD hoping to gain access to their now defunct chat rooms.

He probably has a new twitter account under this name

Really pathetic

You know how painful this for him.

He’s been neutered.

diamondsnjeans Trump lovers have no self respect whatsoever. Imagine? THIS is the President of the United States acting like a uncontrollable child that had a toy taken away. He has nothing else to do. Scandalous

Yay Sherilyn! Good thinking on your toes and taking a pic of this! I saw it earlier and was looking for it again and couldn’t find it

😁

We are all escaping facebook already. Twitter became a curiosity thanks to Tramp but honestly now is just a boring habit soon to be disregarded.

Twitter probably didn’t recognize DerangedDonald on the official account since he has never really done any work as President. GolferInChief TweeterInChief TraitorInChief

Good

Please Let me know when Trumps social media sight gets opened.

Snatch that phone!

Twitter has had it with his BS.

rallyontwitterfrontsteps suspendtwitter

Don't think it gets more vicious than you, Trump

There’s still the White House account.

there is no argument. trump sponsored a coup of his government. He must be impeached.

LOSER

Yes folks, he is that dumb.

If you are not a liberal you will be censored and silenced! The new America!

Another failed business in the making.

His favourite app dissed him. Smh

MARTIAL LAW destroy these people NOW

This act of Twitter, Instagrams and facebooks shows anybody including presidents of countries not limited to Europe, Africa and the Middle East could be blocked from social media activities when such twits or messages incite the generality of the public and safety of the people.

FACT: Trump incited a coup & did not swiftly act to stop the violence. FACT: The coup led to destruction of the Capital & the deaths of 5 people. FACT: Some of Trumps own cabinet members left because of his actions. QUESTION: How can anyone rationalize supporting Trump now?

Lmao!

Countries around the world should ban him and his family from entering and doing business there.

My thoughts and prayers go out to The Orange Overlord.

This is sad. You would think as a world leader he would have better things to do than troll social media. Lunatic.

This should’ve happened awhile ago.

🤣🤣🤣

Sad

Well, he is still the president of the USA and got elected for that. Critically when a Monopol decides which side of democracy will be accepted and which not!

Welcome to China West

Donald should have Twitter privatised under Trump enterprises, now it's just too late

6687877979997897786967778679795798969768698997806886796686786968869u8i68860000

He's making things worse for himself.

He’s already using the name barronjohn1946 He has ridiculous resources at hand. I’m feeling very safe in saying - he won’t be off twitter. What I would say though (if he is barronjohn1946 ) that after being banned - to come back immediately - suggests twitter is his life.

He’ll find a new way to communicate with us soon.

Suspending the twitter acc of Donald Trump is ill thought of

What if Trump presses the last BLAST Button on Twitter HQ? 😂 😂

America might regret this move!

twitter is (like most other fake msm ) just another sicko company!!...no matter how much they hate trump, they should never go to such lows..degutante! hear Also, a voice of clarity - what mexico president had to say about all these..

NIAbbot He could ask his son Barron if he can use his account? 🤣

then he tried to use his Potus account .. TrumpBanned POTUS

khwezi_shange 😅 😅 😅

More evidence of tech interference.

Trump also band from Facebook for few weeks and we want he should band from all platform. Now Tik Tok is only place which is suitable for him.😂🤣😋 TrumpBanned

🇺🇸 Vision of President TRUMP is revolutionary for making America Great : 1) Bring Back Jobs by reviving manufacturing and Stop Import from china 2) Immigration only to Good people 3) Action on TERRORIST 4) Resolve internation issues 5)Correct europe on Immigration Mistakes. ✝️

Help me tell Trump he's not welcome on a golfing holiday to Scotland after all this...

Can we get 'IMPOTUS' to trend too?

Gangs of London 🥶❄️.

You spread the lies that inspired this attack ! You are responsible !

Good works deserves good recommendation and that's why I'll always do here at my end. You're super good at what you do Nicole. Intelligent and smart. Within a space of time I've earned alot, Thank you so very much.Nicole_Crypto1 All my colleagues are now ready to join.

realDonaldTrump biggest power was Twitter, they should have special rules for political leaders or users with large followers specifying a ban penalty for violation.

hoifungpoon Even hares pull a lion by the beard when he is dead.

He is saddened by the loss of 4,000 lives in one day due to the Corona virus.

This is a very big blow to the united States

I’m sorry but, that’s just pathetic. When will this man take a look inward? I know, never. It’s sad.

he will create a fake accountant to get back troll

Can you give us proof that he actually did this or are you fake news as well?

He is still president and he must fck them.

Nice 👍 iyen naa da

Haha

You're a good lady Nicole_Crypto1 thanks for helping me earn a lot in less than 48hours, I'll forever be greatful to you Nicole_Crypto1 Thanks.

And you guys thought he would behave in next few days as president without stir up more chaos , aren’t we all exhausted watching fir four years ? Time for him to go

He is the leader of a terrorist group, you get what you deserve!

Desperate!

😆😆😆👌

SAI Trump is on PARLER. Plse sign & share petition to ajassy CEO of awscloud to indefinitely suspend PARLER for violating their Customer User Agreement by planning, inciting and amplifying violence.

Double standard. Shame on Twitter.

Insta, twitter, EVEN Facebook, you're the only platform that hasn't banned him, and I think I know why Twitch Twitch

He must be so mad.

😂😂😂😂😂

Death to Twitter. All Trump supporters quit Twitter . I do same

Best president ever. Trump speaks his mind its scarce to find him reading speeches. I know for a fact that these elections were stolen from him.

I bet that provoked an epic tantrum!

Now that the LOSER is banned, I'm happy to rejoin Twitter.

I dont support trump.. Same to censorship

Social imMEDIAtely bans free speech now Twitter TwitterSafety 👁️‍🗨️😏 WeALLseenow

Excellent!

This could be the new saying when you get a blocked pipe . 'My toilet is Donald trumped'.

THIS is just crazy... This reminds me of what is happening in China. Twitter has lost its mind... and i will be scared if i live in the USA...

If you are complaining that Donald Trump can't tweet, you may have a bigger problem than just someone elses' Twitter ban.

I wish I could tweet 'Fuck You' last time to dear POTUS aka Donald Trump.

They ought to change the password at the WhiteHouse

Trump Social Media CITIZENSHIP Revoked 😆😆😆😆😆😆😆 In Another News: Twitter Deported Trump

It's a joke .. Person with nuclear codes is deemed dangerous to run Twitter account..

Awwww you Americans hate Trump that much Very soon I mean soon y'all will hate Biden too...stay tuned!! Phewww..

They can't silenced our love for him

Omo Jack don impeach US President for Twitter. Congress do the needful na, abi una go manager for the few remaining days as President?

MissKayeSera So sad we can’t hear from therealdonaldtrump

It's shocking non elected people can be protected by section 230 and censor a sitting President and others close to him. This is the behaviour of communist china. It is unacceptable and must never be tolerated.

Today America is China 🇨🇳 now. All people will be ruled and watched and shut up. How crazy American become, it’s sad and all about money and control.

say goodby to free speech..........

Awwwwww! Sorry orange man

DISGUSTING HOW CORPORATE GIANTS CONTROL FREE SPEECH.

Goks

StandWithTrump

OH REALY! and who told u that? just shut up and show respect to us and YOUR President

OH THE JOY!!🤣👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

Trump have a problem a Tweety Bird is talking to him all the time inside his head 😂😂😂😂

I am here, drain the swamp✌️🥰

Rouslan5

Twitter Are you building a CCP china?

Has he not got anything better to do!

Twitter feels like a better place today.

I remember by son when he was 8 trying to do these short of tricks to fool me.

You may agree with Twitter banning Trump's tweets, but it's a slippery slope towards China type selective sensorship and in direct conflict with the fundamental principle that makes the U.S. great. I MAY NOT LIKE WHAT YOU HAVE TO SAY, BUT I WILL FIGHT FOR YOUR RIGHT TO SAY IT.

Hello Mr. president. You’ve done your best here. Keep fighting for the freedom of the speech. This is not from a dead person!

Maybe he can borrow Melania’s OnlyFans account?

Corrupt democratic party with antifa and BLM make china joe great again.

Hahaha

1 Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

Join Tik Tok. They won't censor Trump.

Business insider can suck some chinese president Xi dick!!! That is what they're already doing.

LMFAAAOOOI

Another failed attempt

WeAreAllOther Lol.

GOOD NEWS

😂 jack is making jokes out of POTUS 😭

Meh

Fantastic New Year, Retweet, Subscribe, Share God Bless Your Day Real Good in Jesus Name!

If trump came to my business i would kick him out too. Go cry me a river

Well capitalism is all about setting your own rules for your own company!!! Capitalism is not dead you guys should be happy!!!! I am

Its all twitters fault that Trump lost. Jus sarcasm ok

He is gone. Why are you still talking about him ? Talk about Biden and his agendas more

And now some are talking/hoping he will start his own network!! Even calling it a Trump News Network 🤦🏼‍♀️ it’s time for the normal citizens to speak up

More where that came from MAGA

‘Very fine people on both sides’

so he is ban evading? its funny the magtards here claiming censorship when all that was done was Trump finally was held to the same TOS as all of us!

realDonaldTrump is a recalcitrant child.

Didn't the Italians admit that they changed the election results? Or am I misinformed

All he has left are his crayons and paper airplanes.

this just made the election rig even more convincing.

This guy is pathetic!

Trump deserves such treatment. He has brought disgrace to the office of President & President himself.

Bunch of babies

Hello, fascism. Thanks Twitter for revealing your actual identity. Hardcore, anti freedom fascists.

Sad moment

We all understand that Twitter is a communist platform suppressing free speech. Ot won't pay off in the long run.

So sad!

Lol this is worst than removal for him. He better be on suicide watch, seriously. Someone needs to have eyes on him at all times so he can be removed and arrested.

Oh no! He must be so upset!

Can something new develop out of Trump's childlike needs? Is this a weird-seeming kind of evolution? After all, what is Trump to do after being impeached? He's not the retiring type. It'll surely be something to do with his ego, making money and his customer base. Kind of scary.

Twitter has crossed the line and more dangerous than any mob. Taking away a fundamental right of all Americans; only supporting those who side with their ideology in the name of safety. They are a tempest of manipulation, those who do not agree become scapegoats and trampled.

_Wewa_

Social Media Stock Sell Off Monday

I hope he starts his own so we can see what he says without shitty platforms like twitter take down the posts

lol btfo

Very very busy playing scrabble ( grade 4 edition)

The one thing he should have tweeted he didn't. Which is **There is no voter fraud**. His lies on twitter got people killed.

Be aware I am sure he has many other accounts. That’s what snakes do.😳

Ridiculous that we are not allowed to have our say. COMMUNISTS TWITTER, FACEBOOK AND YOUTUBE.

What about Melania's account?

This is the saddest shit. Trump really couldn’t stay off Twitter for a few hours?

Oh hes still trying Latest is _realdonaldtrump

He will be tweeting from MELANIATRUMP and FLOTUS soon.

He also suggested using the Military to Suspend the Constitution andimpose Martial Law, along with Michael Flynn.

maggifitzgerald Come on, he was trying to release his healthcare plan!

Censorship.

Google/Twitter can eat me. Thanks for supporting free speech

In a letter to House Democrats on Friday, Ms. Pelosi invoked the resignation of Richard M. Nixon amid the Watergate scandal, when Republicans prevailed upon the president to resign and avoid the ignominy of an impeachment, calling Mr. Trump’s actions a “horrific assault on our

He's grounded!

That’s censorship, its ilegal and it can’t be tolerated by nobody that defend democracy

Streets are not for the cold hearted

Moderators can be such arseholes when they finally decide to ban somebody...

Coopers_PR_Mom Haha

🇺🇸🇺🇸 Pres. TRUMP 's supporter has done nothing wrong. 🍁🍁They want : TO SAVE AMERICA ; SAVE HOLY CHRISTIANITY .Save America from becoming Lebanon / from Drug Maafia / from Terrorist / from CHINA Products , which taken away Jobs.--------------------

He will be having major withdrawals 😂🤣😂 Serve him right 👏👏

How long until there is a Barron account?

One of the best things to happen in 2021 by far 👏

The media industrial complex is in full control now. They've purged a sitting US President while completely ignoring President-elect Biden's torch marching Nazis in Ukraine. Dystopia is ahead.

Wiping out the 1st Amendment is UN-American.

Gatel bgt tangan mau nulis MAKEAMRIKGREATAGAIN ni wkwk

You can't stop us. Keep trying...

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

good riddance - twat face!

Finally,for fuck's sake!It only took four years and failed coup attempt....wtf!

THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN DONE MONTHS AGO. Maybe then certain people would not be dead!

Of course they have to ban free speech

I. Fucking. Love. It.

That is fucking insane. POTUS

Live shot of Jack in his office:

😂😂😂

MAGAts , it isn’t censorship unless its government sponsored. Remember, individual freedoms are Very important.

Bravo

ijustine I’ll just try tweeting from these other accounts. Aww, shucks. 😅

Make an announcement

Oops.

jjauthor TWITTER = VITO CORLEONE

Twitter withdrawals

Evils are among us. Double standards

😂😂😂his desperation is hilarious and pathetic. His legacy is farcical

blanketlamp A 5th grader

Couldn’t happen to a nicer guy!

Twitter said what they said! 😳

LMAO PLSS

Start his own SM company? Who the fuck would want to join?... Wait, actually let him, then the FBI and domestic NSA's jobs will get a lot easier...

Wednesday we learned that the GOP stands for disenfranchisement of voters, violence, destruction of public property, lynching, and it's okay to kill for political gain. HawleyMO TedCruz Have you resigned yet?

Lol 😂😂😂

LMAOOOOOO

MelDMann We have been assaulted non-stop with 4 years of Trump hate speech, deranged conspiracy theories, malevolent lies, and racist diatribe. There is more than enough evidence to indict Trump for his assault on the rule of law. He must not be allowed to circumvent criminal prosecution.

🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂

Recent comments by the President both written and spoken denounced the actions of those who acted unlawfully on January 6th, 2021. He called for peace and respect of law enforcement, not violence. Respectfully requesting Twitter rethink its decision. JennaEllisEsq RudyGiuliani

New hashtag: MIPOTUSE Most Incompetent POTUS Ever. Retweet

The picture leads us to believe he writes his own tweets.

He really, really scares the crap out of all these big tech company’s. Lol.

palswoman

Thats ok, a screen capture got it.

I'am, We are still your President

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

The only way any one would know is if there was an insider in twitter, like a conspiracy

I'm laughing in schadenfreude

He's trying to send messages to his followers. Everyone thinks this is funny but look what just happened. Stay Woke

Here’s his new account.

As bugs would say, “ what a maroon”

I seen the tweet!!!! Stay tuned!!

The question being;WHAT DID HE TRY TO TWEET?

And how would you know this?

Next move: grow a mustache, start an account as Tonald Drump.

Yes, banned on Twitter, but he's still got the codes.😯

MGabrielaRec lol

Oh no! He’s found the post-it notes! Inside the White House will be nothing but yellow walls of insanity.

MelDMann Now band this account!!

Not immediately.

Lmao

ReesusP He is like desperate Rat

That's ok we're on Parler and Gab. Twitter was fortune 500 but the exodus has begun. Go suck cock.

😂🤣😂 Here comes the Twitter Addict!! Trump needs to go to 'Twitter Anonymous' for treatment 😂😂😂

That's the way to do it !

That's not fear!!!

😎😂😂😂

seems appropriate enough, as at what should not tweet😄

I guess Twitter can now go back to being the toilet bowl of social media

At last the world sees what rational people have always known, realDonaldTrump was unfit for office.

ReesusP Cool

Looks like the Cheeto can no longer Tweeto 😂

Criiiiiinnnnggggeeeeee alerrrrttttttt

I don’t like this Trump guy but Twitter is censoring FREEDOM OF SPEECH!!!

This is really the perfect cherry on top of this shit show

Lmao, he said 'The most vicious ' people. I thought he was a strong man.

Hahaha

_icze4r “As I was saying”

Feeling really sorry for the Twitter employee who now has to sit and watch the FLOTUS account.

He’s gonna steal Melania’s account. 😂😂😂

pepperized L O L

I’d pay whatever amount to watch Trump’s tantrums live!!!!

CarlaRK3 😂🤣😂🤣😂

This is why the Democrats are right in having a desire to remove this man from office as fast as possible. He's unhinged. It's a scary thought that an unstable, crazy person has access to the nuke codes.

He is now writing messages in crayon on White House windows.

'Someday it will magically disappear'

Ouch! Trump must be feeling like an immigrant tonight he got banned from tweeter twice in one night and it’s only 9:01.

Thoughts and prayers

Thebreadgamer Pathetic little man

Next he will try FLOTUS

10$ says he’s going to promise to pay someone who builds the site up front, then goes back and drags it through court till he get the site for free without paying a dime- it’s so him

Shot down. Womp, womp, womp.

IF TWITTER WAS A THING DURING SLAVERY THEY WOULD HAVE JUST SUSPENDED ABRAHAM LINCOLNS ACCOUNT‼️‼️ WHO TF HAS THE RIGHT TO TELL US WHAT IS AND ISNT WRONG! DONT FORGET THE GOVERNMENT TRIED TO TELL US SLAVERY, SEGREGATION AND NO WOMAN RIGHTS WAS OKAY FOR CENTURYS‼️

He follows no rules and is proud of it. Let's remember that when we sentence him and the rules are in OUR hands.

I knew he would do this! Is why I asked about the Potus account! Needs the same

Hehe he will have to create a fake account 😂😂

Damn this is embarrassing.I hope he doesn't end up harming they're treating the most powerful man supposedly like a kid getting punished.

Fuck you twitter

I'm guessing his social media platform will go the way of his university, casinos, steaks, ties, and presidency

The National Guard is going to have to clamp down on Jan 20th. This cannot happen again. We have a New POTUS in 11 days.

capitalist censorship state USA...

How is this not inciting violence by the left?

free speech doesn’t mean you are safe from the consequences. and i think some people need the reminder that twitter is NOT a part of the govt. 😆 even though trump might have made it seem that way

...he could be a little bit more discrete with his burner account 🤣

The irony of all this is..Twitter will soon be dwarfed by new platforms as a result of their censoring behavior . Neither they nor Google can stop it.

randomlady74 Parlor is down and people (Trump supporters) are freaking out!

Trump does NOT deserve to be treated like this! If you’re stupid enough to watch CNN then you HAVE to watch FOX news or NEWSMAX equal amount of time! Trump was never paid for favors. He already was a made man. He’s done more for this country then is deserved!

Twitter be like....

Bye, bye Tweetie

LOL

Saddest game of Wack-a-Mole I've ever watched

DESPERATE FOOL...

Hello censorship. Welcome to the new America.

He's so predictable. What an oaf. InvokeThe25thAmendment GetHimOut LockHimUp

He’s about to shake mike pence VP down for his account password

🤣

Watch him try to make a TikTok account 🤣

Jerks this is America and this will not be allowed to happen since when is twitter better than the POTUS!

THEY JUST ASSASSINATED THE PRESIDENT IN FRONT OF OUR EYES‼️ IF TWITTER WAS A THING IN 1968 THEY WOULDNT HAVE KILLED MLK THEY WOULD HAVE JUST DEACTIVATED HIS TWITTER ACCOUNT! WE ARE UNDER ATTACK! 1st amendment matters!! Parler apple potus

Free Speech?

Pathetic tweet addict
