President Donald Trump is continuing to speak out against Twitter, the social media platform that has become his rival in recent months. Following a late-night Twitter rant as he tuned into the Democratic National Convention, the president was up and at ’em early Thursday morning, taking aim at Twitter for allegedly only showcasing “negative” views “of Republican voices.”
It’s never a real Twitter Trending. It’s Twitter Executive’s Choice. Only negative on Republican voices, especially mine!

In recent weeks and months, the president has had a contentious relationship with what is undoubtedly his favorite social media platform. As the nation heads into the 2020 presidential election, Twitter has, on numerous occasions, flagged the president’s tweets for various reasons, including for false information and glorification of violence. Just last month, Trump slammed the platform for frequently making him among the trending topics, something that he called “disgusting” and “really ridiculous, illegal, and, of course, very unfair!”

Twitter should sue you for defamation. You have no clue how algorithms work. It’s as if your Brain stopped working 50 years ago.

If Twitter wanted to silence his voice, he would’ve been banned from Twitter for violating its policies numerous times

It’s not easy being a minority president who cheated his way into office. People don’t like that.

I see you’re following Twitter trends, maybe you should try to follow a security or covid briefing one day.

That’s not true. It’s a real trend. If enough people tweeted a hashtag like #CrybabyDonnie then it would trend.
