Trump was ready for Twitter removing him, announces big plans
January 9, 2021 | Vivek Saxena
The far-left social media platform Twitter permanently suspended President Donald Trump’s personal account, locked the president’s official government account and conducted a purge of prominent pro-Trump accounts on Friday.
The extraordinary, unprecedented, uneven move — one not applied to Iranian Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, Louis Farrakhan, Richard Spencer and Chinese propagandists — provoked widespread outrage from the right and the middle.
The move also provoked the president himself into releasing a scathing statement excoriating “Democrats and the Radical Left†for their endorsement of authoritarian censorship and vowing to develop his “own platform in the near future.â€
The president initially sought to release the statement through @POTUS after his personal account, @RealDonaldTrump, was suspended for reasons deemed highly dubious by centrist and right-wing critics, but Twitter prevented that as well.
“Twitter quickly removed the tweets from the @Potus account, citing its policy on banned users trying to circumvent it via other accounts,†Fox News notes.
Left with no other option, the president then resorted to releasing the statement through the White House press pool — a move which, thankfully for those concerned about freedom, cannot be stopped without a full-scale coup against him.
