Twitter fact-checks Trump tweet for the first time

Twitter for the first time prompted readers to check the facts in tweets sent by U.S. President Donald Trump, warning his claims about mail-in ballots were false and had been debunked by fact checkers.

Hmmm this is a tough one. Will he now talk crap about Twitter when at the same time he can't live without it, it's his drug of choice.

I just love that this is going to send him in an entirely new level of insanity and we get to watch it live.

A dark time to be American when the tech giants have to assume the role of moral leaders. I give cautious praise to twitter for the time being, only because the circumstances are so strange. May we never be subject to a horror that is Donald trump ever again.

It's about time Twitter starts enforcing their own toxic platform. YouTube is equally as bad at enforcing their own terms of service.

trump is going to ask for Twitter to be fired in a tweet 😂🤣😂

"I never knew Twitter. Seemed like a decent guy."

[dbpbw]

They should do this for all his tweets

[NoToothTony]

Welp... I guess he’s about to talk junk about Twitter now then ban them too EDIT: I didn’t mean for you guys to fuss and fight over my comment but while you’re here subscribe to my channel 🤗

About time Twitter stepped up on the many false claims from Individual #1. I have been considering dropping my Twitter use as they have not been willing to follow their own rules with him. Yes. About time.

Now Trump will call a national emergency to force Twitter to remove the feature.

He’s going to have that notification under every one of his tweets, excellent.

[wesley]

If it was anyone else, Twitter would have deleted the message.

Quoting CNN and the WaPost is NOT fact checking.

[LuigiLong]

Definitely a step in the right direction!

[darkhades]

Who else is ready for trump to tweet a million of times because he’s mad at twitter

[robertsmith]

It's way easier to vote for someone else through the mail.

[asteverino]

The prez is worried about himself, not voter safety.
As usual.

[tsp]

I didn’t need twitter to tell me that trump is wrong 100 percent of the time

[nelsonr.]

About time. They're going to be using that a whole lot.

Vote as if your life depends on it because it does. Remember in November what you must do vote in the 2020 election to change the current situation in the Whitehouse.
