`Trump Demands Facebook and Twitter Ban MSNBC And CNN
Trump called for MSNBC and other outlets to be banned from social media after some of his biggest alt-right supporters were banned for hate speech.
Trump responded to some of his biggest alt-right supporters being banned by tweeting:
Link to tweet
Trump wants some of the most prominent free press outlets banned from Twitter and Facebook, but pro-Trump propagandists, conspiracy theorists, and hate speech peddlers should have an amplified platform. The presidents demand is in line with an authoritarian view of the press. Trump does not believe in press freedom. He wants a media does not challenge or investigate him.
The media is supposed to push his propaganda, brainwash the citizens, and glorify him.
Trump wants the United States to become North Korea.

Trump is trying to destroy the free press because this nation needs the Fourth Estate to save the country from his endless pit of lies.
Donald Trump is losing. His hate speech spewing supporters are being banned, and the institutions that safeguard freedoms are prevailing over this president.

(5,914 posts)He's now resorted to tweeting actual profanity, for crying out loud.
Can full-on racial epithets be too far behind? Why not? His base will eat them up, and FB and Twitter will do nothing.

It's so obvious what he's doing. Boy, doing it "his way", with Kim REALLLLY worked great. We tried it your way don. Now we should go back to what made us number one, namely, anything but you.

(11,885 posts)Even over all businesses like Putin has done, then he either corrupts them to do everything he demands , or he uses his corrupt legal system and people to go after the CEO and owners , again like he's done n Russia , and where only the most corrupt are allowed to prosper, and remain. Just like he's trying to do to the GOP and now the DOJ, and wants to do that to the military and judicial system where he controls all the judges, all of them. The GOP don't realize he'll soon bypass them altogether, and then the judicial system , and many other area's . Just like putin has done in Russia.

(193 posts)Should ban Trump, as his rhetoric is the same as the alt-right crowd, and leads to those cretins shooting up, and burning churches and Synagogue's.
They are doing great harm to the nation by allowing this guy unfiltered communiques to the public at large. Faux is right there with him.
We should all petition FB and twitter to do this ... or promote some means to signbificantly hurt their pocketbook if they don't.

(4,516 posts)There can be no fair elections in this country due (typo added for authenticity) to the FAKE news. That is why I, Donald J Trump, am now declaring a nation-wide state of emergency and suspending ALL elections. We have assumed control. Resistance is futile. Assimilate! Winter is coming.

(16,785 posts)Facebook can do what is best to delete hateful speech that has resulted in deaths of people. Why allow that hate to spread? That is not censorship. It is about keeping people from getting killed.
Donald Trump hates CNN and MSNBC because they do not peddle in hate speech like he does. They attempt to spread the truth and he does not likie that.

(5,275 posts)This is 100% out of the dictators playbook, attacking the press, at least the press that calls his act out.
This is serious stuff here, 2020 is our chance to begin righting the ship, mend fences with our long time allies, tell Putin his boyfriend is done and were done sucking up to him. Our National Nightmare would be over.
