No, Donald Trump’s Twitter did not get taken away.

At least that’s what Trump’s senior adviser Boris Epshteyn told USA TODAY Monday after a New York Times report Sunday said campaign staff had finally been able to take away Trump’s signature form of communication.

“No one is taking away his Twitter. He’s his own man,” Epshteyn said.

At a campaign rally for Clinton on Sunday, President Obama seized on the Times story.

“Apparently his campaign has taken away his Twitter. In the last two days, they had so little confidence in his self-control they said: ‘We’re just going to take away your Twitter,’” Obama said in Kissimmee, Fla. “If somebody can’t handle a Twitter account, they can’t handle the nuclear codes.

It wouldn't be hard to do.  It would only take someone willing to get up in his face and not back down.  Trump is accustomed to yes men.

I think it's way to late to change the Donald.  Getting in his face would only make him more stubborn.  I know that's how it works with me.

Could be, but from what I've read, Kellyanne Conway has had some luck, lol.

Of course they didn't.  But that didn't stop some here from making brilliant observations like "the mere fact that this is even being discussed shows how ridiculous a candidate he is."  The ultimate bootstrap argument.

But those folks willingly ran with an obvious leftist lie simply because they liked the result.
