CNN Tries, Fails to Get Donald Trump Kicked off Twitter

Posted on 01/05/2018 8:55:38 AM PST by MNDude

CNN’s Brian Stelter asked Twitter on Tuesday whether President Donald Trump’s tweet threatening North Korea with his “much bigger & more powerful” nuclear button violated the social media network’s terms of service. Calling Trump’s tweet evidence of “madness,” the host of Reliable Sources clearly hoped not only to obtain an answer to a question, but to see Trump suspended or removed from Twitter.

Stelter and other Trump-haters cited Twitter’s rule against violent threats: “You may not make specific threats of violence or wish for the serious physical harm, death, or disease of an individual or group of people.”

They were disappointed when Twitter said Trump’s tweet was “too vague” a threat to qualify for punishment.

“They were disappointed when Twitter said Trump’s tweet was “too vague” a threat to qualify for punishment.”

ROFL. The incompetence at CNN amuses me.

He’s got 45.5M followers, many of whom are only on there because of Trump (myself included.) That’s a goose laying golden eggs every single day.

I'm pretty sure that a couple months ago Twitter actually released a statement saying that the Presidential Twitter account was exempt from the Terms of Service because of it's overwhelming news value. (CNN is hardly the first to try to get the account banned).

If he goes, Twitter goes.

He would move to GAB and take 45 million+ users with him.

Twitter should be banning CNN for all the #FakeNews stories.

Leftists are children. Day after day it’s “I’m telling mom!”. Or “You’re a big meanie”. Or “You’re a pooh face!”

If the media want to regain any credibility at all, every single reporter needs to honestly ask himself one question before he does anything: How would I proceed with this story/report/book, etc. if Obama was still president?

I wouldn’t be surprised if there were a sizable number of people on Twitter specifically because Trump tweets every day.

It was not a threat. It was a boast. He’s messing with the dictator and the media.

Looks like one of those nerdy boys that you want to punch in the face. BTW, I was a nerd when I was a kid so I can say this.

He most likely has a Fathead Sticker on his bedroom wall of Pajama Boy.

The left is having a pretty rough week. Next thing you know Gloria Allred will be suing the President for leering at Rosy O’Donnell.

He looks pretty old for a five year old.

No doubt. And remember that he despises, maybe even hates, us. Makes it a lot easier to dislike him and to return the favor.
