So let me get this straight - Twitter has permanently banned the account of The President Of The United States, but not:
  • Communist Russian President Vladimir Putin;
  • Communist North Korea’s Supreme Leader Kim Jong-un;
  • Communist China’s President Xi Jinping; and
  • Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei...
Does ANYONE else see a problem with this?

Do you know what's American in this case? Deciding you (general) don't want to support a private company you feel has a double standard and vote with your feet/money. They have no obligation to keep Trump on, but conversely, people have no obligation to use them. Capitalism FTW.

Right now Domestic terrorists being encouraged by Trump spreading falsehoods is the biggest threat to the United States. Even more so than those other things, as bad as they may be.

At this point there is no political reason to ban Trump - his behavior has already given Democrats control of the executive and legislative branch. Twitters action is purely for the safety of the country.

Putin, Kim Jong-Un, Jinping, Khamenei didn't, as our own POTUS did, incite insurrection against our country.

I'm going to preface my post with the following: I never liked Trump and never will. Period!

That said, I swear some Dems in Congress are running around acting terrified. Is it possible Trump is his holding his ace card? Meaning might he just tell the country about all of the secret BS going that some Dems (and some Repubs) hope Americans don't find out about for another 50 years. Look the a-hole will be gone in less than 2 weeks, and Dems want to impeach NOW, NOW, NOW. They are scared of something.

where were you when Jack Dorsey and Mark Zuckerberg were subpoenaed to the Senate hearing on the hunter laptop? It is what it is.

OP. to you
First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out
Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out
Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.

It's a public company in a free country. They need to watch out for their own and make money. Trump is nuts. Don't like it? Don't use Twitter.
