Donald Trump has continued tweeting about social media censorship this morning. He is saying that he will regulate or close the big social media sites before allowing censorship. The problem is that he has already allowed censorship to occur in spades. This situation has gone on throughout his entire presidency.
Republicans feel that Social Media Platforms totally silence conservatives voices. We will strongly regulate, or close them down, before we can ever allow this to happen. We saw what they attempted to do, and failed, in 2016. We can’t let a more sophisticated version of that….

Twitter has now shown that everything we have been saying about them (and their other compatriots) is correct. Big action to follow!

Look Mr. President, nobody is going to take you seriously until you do something substantive.
Why do you think Twitter felt emboldened enough to start fact-checking your tweets while linking to fake news sources?
There are already people going so far as to demand that Twitter delete your account.
Mark Dice said it best here.
Mark my words, if Trump loses in November, Twitter will soon ban his account.
There's no way they'll allow him to have such a powerful voice once he's out of office.
There's a lot at stake in November.
More than most people know.

I hope I’m wrong about you and that you actually follow through on your promise to regulate the shit out of these companies. But once again, I am highly skeptical that you will follow through and do something that will ensure people like myself, Andrew Anglin, Azzmador, Alex Jones, Roger Stone and a plethora of other voices are allowed back on these sites.
Prove me wrong sir and I promise to stop posting this potato Trump image.
