You should NOT be ok with that, regardless of who's in that chair.
I would say the same thing if it happened to Biden, or another Dem.

I agree with both you guys. It is kind of scary how people can be silenced and who gets to decide it.

Meh. he doesn't need Twitter, I know it was his preferred method of communication but he's got a big enough following that whatever he says/states will get wide coverage no matter what.

Are you saying he should have abused the emergency broadcast system, or are you referring to the networks which deliberately stopped showing his COVID press conferences when they realized his approval ratings were rising due to them? I could respond better if I knew which you were talking about.

No problem, it will be back on the air when Trump gets another company to send messages on. Either an existing company, or one he sets up himself.

Twitter won't be any loss.
Source or just lies?

There’s bigger accounts than trumps.

He's not a sitting US President and they banned his personal account, not the @POTUS account.

Stop clutching those pearls...
