Trump Expects Twitter Will Ban Him Shortly Before November Election
2020-06-30
Time to move to the other one? Or for the Justice Department to get involved...
[WesternJournal] As the Trump administration ratchets up the pressure on big technology, President Donald Trump said he expects that Twitter will strike back.

Trump sounded off about Twitter in the course of an interview Friday with Ben Domenech, publisher of The Federalist.

In recent weeks, Twitter has become aggressive in its handling of Trump’s tweets, posting warnings on one tweet about rioters breaking the law and on another in which Trump mocked CNN.

That led to Domenech asking the president if he expects Twitter will follow up by placing a ban on his personal Twitter account.

"Yes, I do," the president replied.

Trump said he expects the ax will fall this autumn, as the presidential election nears.

"Some people say I should join Parler," Trump said, referring to the platform that touts itself as "an unbiased social media focused on real user experiences and engagement."

"Maybe. We do have over 194 million followers, though, across multiple sites," the president added.

#6  Good, free-speech alternatives to Twitter? Anyone use anything they really like?

#5  President Trump’s battle is two-fold. People will follow him to Parler, which will definitely grow that business. But the JournoList types will not follow him there — so he has to continue on Twitter in order to make sure they keep fussing about the things he says. Not to mention the sheer usefulness of Alinskying Twitter, Facebook, et al for their ongoing fascistic actions.

#4  All he has to do is move to parler and the press would have to move there to follow him. I would have all the congress that support him do it too.

Twitter is dying anyway. Let the far left have it and it will die even faster.
