On Monday night, as President Donald Trump began posting about the use of hydroxychloroquine to treat COVID-19 following a viral video of a doctor touting its ability to not only treat but prevent the disease, Twitter removed at least three of the president’s tweets, leaving no trace of what the president wrote on the social media platform.
Tensions between the big tech website and President Trump appear to have reached a new height, as the platform has now censored several posts by President Trump that appear to have promoted the use of hydroxychloroquine to treat COVID-19.
The president began sharing articles and tweets promoting the use of hydroxychloroquine after a viral video of frontline doctors revealing their experiences treating COVID-19 in the field.
In place of President Trump’s tweets is a message from the platform that reads “This tweet is no longer available.”

And your credentials for judging and condemning me are . . . ??
Did anybody have any trouble with National File? My Norton Antivirus is flagging it as a hot link.
PING!
Well look who got up it his high horse.
I am neither judging nor condemning. I am just expressing my opinion which as an American I have the right to do.
But judging from your comments on this thread you would like nothing better to do than place your knee on the neck of our rights until they are expired.
Gone. The President's press conference 'violates Youtube's Community Guidelines.'
How does it feel to have woken up in the Soviet Union?
I don't care if there are twenty-million instances of the press conference sitting all over the place. It's immaterial.
The fact that Twitter and YouTube feel they can censor a sitting president should terrify you.
RINO Republicans have been doing that since George Will was a wee lad. Got them real far, dint it?
I like Trump BECAUSE he fights back.
It is utterly stunning and completely revealing that someone who owns a Common Square feels they can censor a sitting president.
Mind boggling, and when those people and their allies get back in power -- if they are willing to go THIS far -- it is obvious that they will gladly spill innocent blood.
There are monsters in our country.
I get more and more scared as each day goes on. “There are monsters in our country” is an understatement. They get more brazen every day and this censorship is but one example.
President Trump mentioned the removal of the video at his press conference today. He knows the truth.
The Justice Department and the FCC are starting to take action against Twitter as we speak. Several posts having been made here on that earlier today.
In the meanwhile, the deleted tweets snd attendant videos are all over the Internet and are getting more views and attention than ever, precisely because twitter deleted them.
An Twitter’s revenues and earnings continue to fall. An own goal for Twitter all round.
Well, since I'm five years older than George Will, born and raised in New York State, I've observed the outcomes of several well-known Republican governors and Presidents under whose governance I lived. Most of them until 1988 were very effective and governed well.
I think your point is prejudicial and ignores the successes of Thomas E. Dewey, Nelson Rockefeller, Dwight Eisenhower, and Ronald Reagan. Pete duPont's temporary transformation of Delaware should not be ruled out, but its sticking coefficient was quite low, as was Reagan's in California. Most particularly, Reagan always acted like a gentleman, and as Chief Executive 1981-1988 did direct the winning of the Cold War, harvesting the fruit from ground effectively plowed by Richard Nixon and fertilized by the manure of the failed Carter administration.
Regarding the Bushes, I have not much to say except that after 2000 until 2016, I did not feel that I had the freedom to vote for any Republican Presidential candidate (and most certainly not Democrat ever).
In 2004, I supported the nominees of the Constitutional Party, Mike Peroutka/Chuck Baldwin. To me, the later nominees McCain and Romney were non-entities. 'Nuff said about that era, to which you are probably referring.
In 2016 I voted for Trump, but not without a great deal of reservations regarding his personal style and inability to carry through personal commitments.
I like Trump BECAUSE he fights back.
So did Reagan, who was a heavyweight fighter with a legitimate knockout punch, but still a gentleman worthy of imitating.
Trump is a narcissistic unpredictable brawler, who does win, but often by hitting below the belt and smacking women around. But at this point, he is all the conservatives, independents, and reformed Donkeymen have. I don't like several of his policies (stance on abortion, tolerance of the BGLADs), but I really hated Hills and her obsequious drunken sucklings, moral reprobates.
Lacking realistically capable ambitious alternatives, I will vote for him again. But after . . . ??
