Donald Trump raises the feud on Twitter by banning the post
This morning, Twitter restricted President Donald Trump 's second tweet reach, as the White House and its allies tried to intensify the social media company's feud.
The President continued, "There is no problem, and we will assume control, but when the looting begins, there's shoting." Shortly after the message was posted, Twitter determined that it violated rules that include the glorification of violence, and placed a message on the tweet. The president said, "I'll take control, but when the looting starts, the shooting startes." In this way, Trump's tweet is obscured but can be seen while a user is pressing the button "Screen."
Likes, retweets and feedback from the tweet are all disabled in an attempt to may its scope.
The Twitter tweet was the second in a series of posts by the president to target the Minnesota protests. The White House own Twitter account several hours after the Twitter tweets had been posted quoted the first time in Trump's thread and the same message was posted on the President's account that the Platform originally flagged on. The quote-tweet of the White House is marked for breach of the same law.

A week of tension between the President and Website follows Twitter's attempt to limit Trump's Tweet about the Minnesota protests. Earlier this week, Twitter first checked the president's tweet for falsified statements concerning mail-in votes. The next day, Trump calls for "strengthy legislation, or shutting of forums" until the federal government "silences conservative voices."
