Twitter Slaps 'Manipulated Media' Tag on Bullshit Video that Trump Retweeted

[Soph0571]

Twitter’s new rules concerning manipulated content went into effect this week, and—not surprisingly—President Donald Trump has already proven why the platform needed them in the first place.

On Sunday, Twitter applied its recently implemented “manipulated media” tag to a deceptively doctored video the president retweeted, as first reported by the Washington Post. The video, originally posted by White House social media director Dan Scavino, appears to show former vice president Joe Biden endorsing Trump’s reelection bid thanks to the magic of editing.

“Excuse me. We can only reelect Donald Trump . . .” Biden says in the clip. However, the second part of that quote, taken from a recent speech the Democratic frontrunner gave in Kansas City, Missouri, is cut off; he goes on to say, “We can only reelect Donald Trump if in fact we get engaged in this circular firing squad here. It’s gotta be a positive campaign.” As of Sunday evening, the edited clip has garnered 5.4 million views and more than 70,000 retweets.
