CNN media reporter Brian Stelter told host Anderson Cooper Tuesday night he asked Twitter if President Trump's tweet about North Korea and the "nuclear button" was a "violation" of the social media platform's terms of service due to the threat of violence. In the tweet, Trump wrote he also has a nuclear button, "but it is a much bigger & more powerful one than his, and my Button works!"
Stelter also said Trump's tweet on the "nuclear button" and another one about "awards" for the "most dishonest & corrupt media" have raised questions about Trump's "mental health and fitness."
The CNNer summed up the tweets as "madness."
"We should start to call it that, shouldn't we?" Stelter said on behalf of the media. "When President Trump was inaugurated last January, some writers, some columnists like Andrew Sullivan started right away to raise concerns about the president's mental health, about his fitness for office. In the months that followed, we saw Republican Senators like Jeff Flake bring this up, try to ask about his fitness for office. Bob Corker, another name that comes to mind.

"I think we can apply a test to his 16 tweets," Stelter declared. "The test would be: if this were the leader of Germany or China or Brazil, what would we say? How would we cover these tweets? We would say these are the messages from a person who is not well, from a leader who is not fit for office.".......
"In fact, I've asked Twitter spokesman, does this violate Twitter's terms of service, making this kind of threat toward North Korea?" he told Cooper. ......
"These are the kinds of questions social media companies now have to ask themselves," Stelter added.

Jason Alexander shows what a joke he is when he speaks
“Did Trump’s North Korea ‘Button’ Tweet Violate Twitter’s Terms Of Service?”
One can only hope, Brian. We’d just LOVE to see twitter try to censor the President!
Does anyone really believe that TWITTER would shut down President Trump’s account? Really?
This twit has made himself the arbiter of what social media must decide???
Hahahaha!!!!!
Did Twitter essentially say a few months ago that the “terms of service” don’t apply to President Trump because his statements are considered newsworthy regardless of the content?
Was it okay for David Gregory to brandish a thirty round magazine on TV in strictly controlled DC and get away with it?
Without CNN where would a Brian Stelter even get a job?
Unattractive
Dull
Slow witted
Boring
They hate Trump so much that they want a major crackdown in Iran so they can blame Trump and they want a stunning victory by the Norks so they can blame Trump again. That’s a a lot of hate.
[DP0622: Does my telling Brian Stelter to go #### his mother violate the terms of FR?]
Don’t know, but that action violates laws against bestiality....
The tweet:
Donald J. Trump
Donald J. Trump
@realDonaldTrump
North Korean Leader Kim Jong Un just stated that the Nuclear Button is on his desk at all times. Will someone from his depleted and food starved regime please inform him that I too have a Nuclear Button, but it is a much bigger & more powerful one than his, and my Button works!

“They desperately want him to get off twitter.”
Watch for the ones HERE who wish the same thing.
He he he ad infinitum...
The Noos is your best entertainment dollar these days!
Not tweaked ( those are meth heads). Its Twitter
I would like to see Trump switch to another SM platform just to see the demise of Twitter as millions join that platform and watch the lame stream scream Trump destroyed Twitter.
Lolol
Their job is not to inform the public, their job is to shape public opinion.
Sounds like some friendly advice.
I’m sure it came right after their talks to get North Korea off of Twitter for initiating a threat against an entire country.
I’m sure of it.
Who wants to know the weenies at CNN?
