This is what he said ...//“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.”//….so basically threatening to shut down Twitter because they upset him. Irrespective of whether he can do that or not, has he actually thought that through, considering that it's his favoured means of communication and he has 80m followers on there?

You see, when you use the words "actually thought through …", it means you can't apply them to President Trump.

He doesn't bother with difficult concepts like that, he just throws out his toys and gets nasty.
He is a reactionist and he is not establishment.

To say that conservatives voices are stopped (in whatever way) because they lie more or rely on lies more is typical of liberals who don’t fact check properly and only use the bubble check.

I have seen how social media works against conservative voices in the US.

If you go to a Facebook Link for young Turks you get better hits. You get a link to their web site and other links to like minded opinions.

If you look go to a Facebook link for a Conservative You get worse hits and links to fluffy bunny sites (literally) and funnily enough young Turks.

On social media conservatives are disproportionately deplatformed and demonetised and run foul of ‘rules’ that liberal sited get away with on a much larger scale.

But hay, if you’re in the group that has the media power behind you you see no problem because you can always click what you want to see.



Reactionist? Is that a polite word for a man who tweets first and doesn't think after?
Question Author
Doesn't the American constitution mention freedom of speech.
Trump must think he's better than the founding fathers.
If he shuts down Twitter, where will he post his ramblings?
He wants to close down Twitter, etc. in the interests of serving/saving Free Speech?

Oh dear....

He actually posted this on Twitter! I kid you not.

Nice to see that the USofA is a shining example of western free democracy.

Anyway, I understood it was normal for folk to be upset about social media such as Twitter.
Maybe he's being influenced too much by the Chinese government examples. Perhapa he should take a break from diplomatic chores for a bit.

i suspect that he would spend many hours on the naughty step if he joined answerbank


Maybe he’s one of us! There are several candidates.
I think most people have got the

"they wont give me a fair voice ( censorship ) so I will close them down ( censorship ) in the name of justice and free speech !"

a point of view you see defended everyday on AB
but that does not mean it is sane

“I think mail-in voting is horrible,” Trump said in Tuesday’s coronavirus press conference.

“You voted by mail in Florida’s election last month, didn’t you?” the reporter asked.

“Sure,” the president replied. “I can vote by mail.”

“How do you reconcile with that?”

"Because I'm allowed to," Trump said.
It's not a good look if we can add the President to the list of people who doesn't understand what "free speech" means.
god what has happened to the crazy rabid unhinged rabble ? the pro-Trumpers that is !
sleeping in late after a late night er rowing .....

everyone agrees with me - a situation I am MOST uncomfortable about - or in other words - the usual naughty step - my usual little hideaway is beciming crowded
corbo - is that a spoof ?

or is it like one of the many things on AB - true and unspoofable? - so crazy - you cant make it crazier [ which is the element of spoofing]
//Trump must think he's better than the founding fathers.//
You sound surprised!

If he were to shut down Twitter and the other platforms for the self-opinionated he might rise a smidgen in my estimation!
Poor USA - the man is mentally deranged poor soul.
