United States President Donald Trump and controversies can never stay aloof from each other.
Once again hyping the matter, President Trump has signed an Executive Order on preventing social media censorship. In his statement, POTUS has emphasized on the freedom of speech that as a US citizen, he has the rights to exercise without being censored by any social media platform.

The reaction happened after the President’s Election campaign tweets were marked with ‘fact check’ tags.
There is NO WAY (ZERO!) that Mail-In Ballots will be anything less than substantially fraudulent. Mail boxes will be robbed, ballots will be forged & even illegally printed out & fraudulently signed. The Governor of California is sending Ballots to millions of people, anyone…..

Post which the President also tweeted, thrashing Twitter for interfering in the US 2020 Presidential Election. He wrote, “.@Twitter is now interfering in the 2020 Presidential Election. They are saying my statement on Mail-In Ballots, which will lead to massive corruption and fraud, is incorrect, based on fact-checking by Fake News CNN and the Amazon Washington Post….”, which soon received a tweet from the company’s CEO, Jack Dorsey, who took an open jibe at this matter by firmly stating to leave the company’s employees out of this.

Fact check: there is someone ultimately accountable for our actions as a company, and that’s me. Please leave our employees out of this. We’ll continue to point out incorrect or disputed information about elections globally. And we will admit to and own any mistakes we make.

This does not make us an “arbiter of truth.” Our intention is to connect the dots of conflicting statements and show the information in dispute so people can judge for themselves. More transparency from us is critical so folks can clearly see the why behind our actions.

Well, after all the heated tweets, it seems, Twitter is not backing down and living up to its policies by again hiding the President’s tweet, calling it to be laden with violence.
….These THUGS are dishonoring the memory of George Floyd, and I won’t let that happen. Just spoke to Governor Tim Walz and told him that the Military is with him all the way. Any difficulty and we will assume control but, when the looting starts, the shooting starts. Thank you!
