Check out this absurd email the Trump Whitehouse just sent me...


The White House • May 29, 2020
Check out this absurd email Twitter just sent us

Dear 1600 Daily subscribers,

We are forwarding you this email that the White House just received from Twitter. It’s so absurd, we just had to share it with you.

This morning, the White House Twitter account reposted text from a tweet sent by President Trump. A short time later, Twitter censored the tweet, claiming it violated Twitter Rules about “glorifying violence.”

That is completely false. As the President just explained again, his tweet was CONDEMING violence and pledging federal support to keep Minnesotans safe.

The email we just received, presumably sent by a different team within Twitter, admits that the very tweet they are censoring does not violate any Twitter Rules.

Yet the tweet is still censored.

Twitter’s own staff just made this much clear: Twitter is a publisher with an editorial viewpoint, NOT a platform.

See the email below for yourself:

My reply (that failed to send of course):

Good, now delete all of your accounts.

All you have to do is click a link that says View and see those tweets. That is NOT censorship. They need to grab a dictionary and quit their whining.

Trump "signed" Twitter's user agreement, but does not appear to know it himself.

But of course it was not in comic-book illustrations, which is difficult for Trump.

You don’t dwell on how ignorant he is.
Seriously, he is not a smart person, either from the standpoint of intelligence, or “book-learning.”
