The United Nations News Centre — the official U.N. news service — tweeted, then quickly pulled, a post that called for "8 million Americans abroad" to "stop Trump."

The tweet, published at 9:14 p.m. ET on Thursday, urged American expats to share a voter registration tool on the website of the activist organization Avaaz that states, "U.S. Citizens abroad could defeat Trump ... if they voted."

The tweet was deleted within 20 minutes, without explanation.

Ari Gaitanis, chief of the U.N. News Services Section, which oversees the twitter account, said it was a mistake.

Only took them 20 minutes to realize that the UN’s opposition to Trump actually gains him votes rather than helping Hillary. If it had helped Hillary it would not have been a mistake.

Well, if he wasn't going to, he now has incentive to do so. I bet he could do a something great with the present U.N. site.

The UN is meddling in our elections now. Are you starting to figure it out America? Open your eyes.

I wonder what will happen to domains like https://www.donaldjtrump.com/ if the UN takes control of ICANN. Will there be an “accident” that redirects it to another site? Or will they admit that they know what’s best for the world and Trump should not be allowed a site and they don’t give a flip about freedom of speech for those they oppose.

google at least pretends to value freedom of speech and discussion so their control of search is not disastrous. Not so with the UN and their control of domains could be a huge problem.
