Twitter removes multiple Donald Trump tweets

Dear Palmer Report readers, we all understand the difficult era we're heading into. Major media outlets are caving to Trump already. Even the internet itself and publishing platforms may be at risk. But Palmer Report is nonetheless going to lead the fight. We're funding our 2025 operating expenses now, so we can keep publishing no matter what happens. I'm asking you to contribute if you can, because the stakes are just so high. You can donate here.

Donald Trump tweeted a deranged video this evening, referring to the domestic terrorists who invaded the U.S. Capitol building as “special.” Twitter then locked down the tweet, preventing anyone from liking or replying to it. But now things have escalated.

Trump posted a sickening tweet saying “These are the things that happen” when the election is rigged against him. This prompted Twitter to go ahead and delete that tweet, while also deleting Trump’s video tweet. We know that these tweets were removed by Twitter, and not by Trump himself, because they’ve been replaced with a “This Tweet is no longer available” message. If Trump had deleted them himself, they would simply have vanished.

This comes amid mounting pressure on Twitter to suspend or delete Donald Trump’s account entirely. There has long been an expectation that he’ll be banned from Twitter shortly after he leaves office, due to rules violations. But we’re coming close to Trump getting banned before his term is over.
