With his tweets about Scarborough’s intern, Trump set a trap for Twitter

Even Trump supporters have wondered about Trumps tweets implying that MSNBCs Joe Scarborough had something to do with a young interns death in his office when he was still a Florida congressman. Its true that Scarborough and his co-host and wife Mika Brzezinksi have spent three years accusing Trump of treasonous collusion with the Russians, but Trumps venom still seemed strange.
I, however, dont think it was strange at all. Trump is one of the most calculating, rational people ever to occupy the White House. Hes been faced with a serious problem, which is the fact that the immensely powerful social media giants, which are the gateway to most information nowadays, have already begun trying to sway the election to Biden. Legislatively, thanks to three years of Russiagate and the current hostile House, Trump has been powerless.
So, Trump set a trap. On Wednesday, the Twitter mouse took the bait.

Twitter opened a Pandora Box.....THANK YOU, TWITTER !
Mark Zuckerberg sure seemed to be scared sh**less in that interview he did yesterday. He's not going near this with a 40ft. pole. Clearly he knows what just happened.

Doodoo, of course you missed years of Morning Schmoe knocking Trump Since I don't watch "Morning Joe" I'll have to rely on your expertise on the knocking Trump part.
But if Trump was out to trap Twitter and he did it with his vote fraud posts then where do the Scarborough posts enter into the trap?
To: Mr Ramsbotham
Sure Karen, do we need to show all the self control his
opponents dont?

Mark Zuckerberg sure seemed to be scared sh**less in that interview he did yesterday. He's not going near this with a 40ft. pole. Clearly he knows what just happened. And yet Facebook regularly flags posts for false information. Or didn't Zuckerberg know that?
To: Robert DeLong
You are exactly right.
One should never make the mistake of thinking Trump throws out what seems like crazy stuff without having some factual basis for what he says, or as the libs love to say, “without evidence”.
Trump is the laser pointer, and libs are the cats.

> His IQ is far higher than any of ours or any of his opponents.No disrespect to the President, but that's not a difficult feat to accomplish.
However, Trump's unique contribution to our struggle against the leftists is to marry Regan's ability of going around the media with the tactics of Saul Alinsky ...

Trump just trolled Facebook, Google, Instagram, Snapchat, Twitter, Yahoo! and YouTube into a MAJOR legal trap. All will have to justify why Conservative accounts are banned or "shadowbanned" while Left-leaning accounts are untouched, which means all these services are now content publishers in terms of editorializing and could be subject to First Amendment lawsuits.

Trump did not think it that way. He just spits out the same crap I would.You either have a very high opinion of yourself, or a very low opinion of our President.
If you actually believe that Trump became a billionaire by "spitting out crap" like you would, you are nutz.
I believe that Trump has such a high IQ, that he is thinking 3 steps ahead on everything he does.
Have you read his books? He is very calculating.

RE:”
The big action appears to be that Trump will sign an executive order. The best guess is that it will target the social media giants current immunity from libel and defamation suits because theyre viewed as bulletin boards, not publishers. However, when they actively manipulate content especially the most political content of all, which is statements from the President of the United States theyve put themselves in an editorial position and should be held liable.” Don't count Trump's chickens before they're...
Lets see the order first.

Trump is one of the most calculating, rational people ever to occupy the White House. President trump is far smarter than all the left wing bloviators combined.
