Trump verses Twitter

Twitter has always been left leaning (Dorsey admits this himself), but the tensions have notably increased, as seen last evening...


Twitter has effectively labelled the above tweets as a lie, false... or whatever you want to call it.

Trump pushed back...



... and continued....


Big action huh, such as? Twitter itself is struggling, recent earnings were outright lousy. Q2/Q3 will be horrific, with companies/advertisers having massively cut back on spending. In any case, the Trump verses Twitter war will surely spiral into/across the summer, not least with an election ahead.
