Twitter Should Ban Trump For Life (Today's New Talking Point For MSM)

Since, clearly, nobody in the incoming administration will play Daddy and take away the future president’s text addiction for the sake of the country, the rest of us have to. Twitter’s 317 million users need to demand that the service ban Trump for life.

#BootDonald, anyone?

Twitter has permanently suspended users in the past, most prominently rapper Azealia Banks and right-wing gadfly Milo Yiannopoulos – for tweets containing racially tinged, slur-filled, and other abuse. After all, Twitter is a private company. It can ban anyone at any time for any reason. It can boot people whose names begin with A, or Texans, or veterans. It can certainly ban the President of the United States when his use of their service flirts with national disaster.

Virtually every other nation in the world punishes people for desecrating their national flags. It’s illegal in all but the most snowflaked nations.

And it was illegal in the United States for over 200 years of the country’s existence – up until a 1989 Supreme Court ruling.

But what I find interesting is that the call to ban Trump from Twitter came from several media outlets at the same time. Whooops. Seems a one Mr. Soros must have written an email recently.

"Twitter’s 317 million users need to demand that the service ban Trump for life."- David Benkof, Daily Caller

"It’s time to ban Donald Trump from Twitter."- Sonny Bunch, Washington Post

" Asked whether Twitter would ever consider banning key government officials or even the president himself, a company spokesperson responded via email: “The Twitter Rules prohibit violent threats, harassment, hateful conduct, and multiple account abuse, and we will take action on accounts violating those policies.” Pressed on whether that meant that, hypothetically, Trump himself could be suspended were he to violate those policies, a spokesperson confirmed: “The Twitter Rules apply to all accounts, including verified accounts.” - Slate

".. it would also be a fine idea to ban Donald J. Trump."- Kate Knibbs, The Ringer

Here, lastly, is the petition made to ban Trump from Twitter.

son they want him banned , because he gets around the media, and talks to the country directly.

Poor media, how must they survive this.

The fascism of the Left is no longer hidden, if it ever was.

[wiseprince]

hmm. Can’t deny making a wedding cake for a gay couple but this is fine. May I recommend banning all muslims and gays?

“Free Speech” to the left, has always meant shouting down opposing viewpoints.

The evil is indescribable.

We live among idiots, about 50% of the US citizens (but concentrated in large cities).

Just to add, tolerance to the left is being intolerant to those who have a different view to them.

I think it would be a very bad idea to ban the President of the United States from anything.

[right way right]

Go ahead and ban Trump, he could start up his own website and called it ‘The daily Trumpet’.

[Antoninus]

He needs to switch to GAB.ai

If Twitter did that, and Trump took to another platform -- and took his 16 million followers with him -- the other platform is immediately a major competitor to Twitter. That would rank up there as one of the worst business decisions ever.

I think the guys/gals at Twitter should focus on promoting the fight for $15 minimum wage. That way, when Twitter goes bankrupt, they can at least make $15 an hour somewhere.

“””After all, Twitter is a private company. It can ban anyone at any time for any reason.””’
If that was true then shouldn’t bakers be allowed to reject baking cakes for anyone they want also........but public means ALL public I would think

[faithhopecharity]

If twitter actually politically bans the elected President of the United States - we promise you that a competitive service will rise to the occasion to welcome him and millions of the rest of us. Twitter will suffer tremendously.

[JBW1949]

Go ahead, Twitter...Ban Donald Trump...

See how long you continue to exist....

[Bitsy]

May I recommend banning all muslims and gays? And liberals!!! Last I heard America was a free country - bunch of nitwit leftists that can’t handle anything other than their own BS.

“Virtually every other nation in the world punishes people for desecrating their national flags. It’s illegal in all but the most snowflaked nations. “

Gee, I thought only liberals appealed to foreign nations’ laws when trying to make their arguments.

Right - like baking a cake... or running a B&B... private companies can do what they want, right?
