No, Twitter is not going to ban President Trump

Gateway Pundit: Twitter Releases Statement on Efforts by Liberals to Get President Trump Banned From Twitter.

Twitter posted an official statement Friday afternoon after being deluged by liberals who were calling for President Donald Trump to be banned from Twitter over his statement Tuesday warning North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un about the consequences of waging nuclear war with the United States.

The Twitter statement does not name Trump, but is obvious by its timing and that he is the main subject.

World Leaders on Twitter
By Twitter Inc.
Friday, 5 January 2018

There’s been a lot of discussion about political figures and world leaders on Twitter, and we want to share our stance.

Twitter is here to serve and help advance the global, public conversation. Elected world leaders play a critical role in that conversation because of their outsized impact on our society.

Blocking a world leader from Twitter or removing their controversial Tweets, would hide important information people should be able to see and debate. It would also not silence that leader, but it would certainly hamper necessary discussion around their words and actions.

We review Tweets by leaders within the political context that defines them, and enforce our rules accordingly. No one person’s account drives Twitter’s growth, or influences these decisions. We work hard to remain unbiased with the public interest in mind.

We are working to make Twitter the best place to see and freely discuss everything that matters. We believe that’s the best way to help our society make progress.”

Trump’s tweet, which incidentally was followed almost immediately by North Korea making overtures to South Korea, read, “North Korean Leader Kim Jong Un just stated that the “Nuclear Button is on his desk at all times.” Will someone from his depleted and food starved regime please inform him that I too have a Nuclear Button, but it is a much bigger & more powerful one than his, and my Button works!”
