Donald Trump is reduced to begging
Now that he’s lost the election, Donald Trump’s strongman routine is coming off more like begging and pleading. For instance, Twitter keeps slapping warning labels on his false tweets. In response, Trump keeps demanding that an anti-Twitter provision be added to the military budget, but even the Republicans are just ignoring him.
So when Trump posted yet another tweet this evening chock full of false claims about the election results, he went so far as to add the words “do not flag this Twitter!” Was that supposed to be a threat? If so, it didn’t work. Twitter quickly slapped the tweet with a warning label saying “This claim about election fraud is disputed.”
These warning labels are too weak at this point, and it’s time for Twitter to take more severe action against Donald Trump for being a willful repeat offender. But it’s clear that Twitter has no intention of backing down from its current warning label system. When you make a threat that everyone knows you can’t follow through on, it means you’re just begging.
