Twitter has flagged a tweet from President Trump as containing manipulated media after the president tweeted a clip of a black toddler and a white toddler edited to include a CNN chyron reading terrified todler[sic] runs from racist baby.
The initial video, which was widely circulated online long before the tweet, shows the two children running towards each other and embracing.
It has been edited to include ominous background music and the fictitious CNN headline. The video reverts to the original clip midway through, cutting to a title reading America is not the problem. Fake news is.
This tweet has been labeled per our synthetic and manipulated media policy to give people more context, a Twitter spokesperson told The Hill.
The tweet marks the third time the social media platform has flagged a tweet by the president.
On the first occasion, Twitter appended the president's comments on mail-in voting, a frequent topic for Trump, as containing misinformation about an election.

Twitter was rickrolled, by POTUS.
imho they could easily enough change “CNN” to “CCN” and people would get the idea, and then as a side benefit twatter would not have a leg to stand on.
Always nice to see the President is having a good time.
@jack and his creepy Lefty Moderator minions shat themselves over this.
I heard that Lefty Media bluechecks (including the execrable KyleGriffin, PMSNBC) were filling their diapers by the minute...
Twitter is totalitarian and has decided people need to be taken by the hand on their site... ridiculous. Their safe space is a death camp of intellectuality
Kinda childish. /s
You have to leave your IQ outside Twitter when you go inside - just like opening a virtual sandbox for a PC operating system, to keep your computer safe.
The Twitterati are mouthbreathing zombie retards who Know-Nothing, just like their Demoncrat forebears.
That’s why you always include the Sarcasm tag.
What does that mean flagged?
My only problem with the video is the developer misspelled “toddler” as “todler”.
If the powers think that this video is “manipulated” in such a manner that people will think it actually happened on CNN, what does that say about CNN?
The goal is to discredit the tweet.
Trump uses manipulated media to stoke racial unity...CNN uses manipulated media to do the opposite.
I never thought the chyron was real for an instant.
>> CNN uses manipulated media to do the opposite.
CNN is ATT.

Twitter thinks people are morons, if this was serious and not simply an attempt to censor.

Time to BOYCOTT these Censor Nazis

Record who runs them for future prosecution and restitution to victims.

Re: CCN
This is probably an obscure NAZI acronym and twitter would still find some reason to ban it.
