Twitter: In your words, if you don’t like it Donny, leave!

Trump: "How dare you call me out on my lies!!!!" 😠

[davidellis]

He should have all his social media accounts deleted.

[DoNNiEdx]

I guess the "leader of the free world" would very much appreciate if criticizing or correcting him were made illegal.

[moistpeanut]

Cant social media just close his accounts? If he doesnt like to get fact checked then he can leave.

[bigspoon]

Over 100, 000 of us have died. And this is what concerns him?!

[izzyocho]

What's wrong with telling some one that what they are saying isn't

[Northcountry]

Please
Make America Moral Again
Vote This November

[ROZDAB]

Do not forget all the lives lost during the pandemic and the federal governments ineptitude in the beginning. That is why he is distracting us with this twitter thing.

[cardinals]

Trump: let me tweet a free speech about how Twitter is stifling free speech.

[donaldlemmons]

Just another reason, not to elect him.

[vraeleragon]

No surprise here. Trump keeps out-dumbing himself. Can't wait until November to get rid of him.

[japrogramer]

lol he thinks fact checking interferes with the election

[runrafarunthebestintheworld]

Hahaha Twitter needs to keep alerting Trump. He has no power to stop them. 😅😅

[youandi]

It's all fun until someone gets his feelings hurt 🤣

[savagetuner]

THEY DID NOT FACT CHECK HIM. He made an opinion statement and they "fact checked" him with an opinion article. No facts discussed.

[MrMrcellardweller]

[oliveugochukwu]

Wherever he likes he can fly to. but, he is living that FREE RENTAL HOUSE OF THE PEOPLE BY NOV 2ND 2020. He is celebrating Bday when the death is higher than 100, thousands.

Maybe Trump and Conservatives need to grow a pair stop being snowflakes on social media as a president
