Honestly? Teasing him it's not a good ideia, my mom always told me not to mess with crazy people.

This one was weak compared to the other ones he does, the Batman forever one had me chuckling for a whole minute.

As an American, I approve of that journalist’s message.

Why anyone wanna fight that? That's like the "very nasty question" badge of honor.

(1) Jesus christ the amount of people who believe something is real because it looks like a twitter screen shot is depressingly high.
Rhythmaster
(2) this shit has been going on for ages now, between that and the fake headlines, all of us should be better at this by now.
T0go
imagine the POTUS getting owned in twitter DMs
ImSwedishPlumber
He gets owned everyday. He does something stupid every fucking day.
T0go
yeah you see his tweets today and realize he can't get it through his thick skull that he and the mayor of Minneapolis are on the same side
T0go
in this situation at least

Oh shit, when you face off with the final level boss of Karens.

His Twitter is funny because he’s a FAKE president

Actually, the majority didn't, so we got that going for us which is great.
fastlanefreddy
You are stupid. He is the best we've ever had. Open your eyes, sheep.

Onda6g
I'm honestly curious, how has he made things better exactly for you, your family, or people you care about?
Onda6g
I really do want to understand. Help me open my eyes
cryptic04
He really just needs to have his account deleted. He has no business being on a platform thats so toxic.
ImSwedishPlumber
I agree with you. That guy is a total bitch.
linearcore
Trump is actually the best source of evidence against Trump for prosecutors. We want him to have that particular petard, I mean outlet.
Nalianna
upon which to hoist
InsertNameHereIGuess
I would rather see him keep on getting corrected on his BS than him moving to a place that doesn't do that at all.
angrytaco
Donald Trump can't block people, that was ruled in court. His Twitter is a public forum
AskingTheRealQuestions
This thing could be easily faked and should be met with scepticism. But it being Trump makes it totally believable, which is a problem.
nikkilaurakevin365
That's only to US citizens. If this guy is really from the UK he can block them all day long.
dangerousDoc
If that is the case twitter is in a lot of hotwater for editorializing
TheOvy
Not sure that applies to British journalists, though... the public, in this case of the ruling, is the American public specifically.
Seanspeed
The DoJ and Senate Republicans have deemed Trump can do whatever he wants without repercussion so the courts dont matter.
SeasonedCitizen
He does whatever he wants, theres no one to stop him. Fucking Republicans.
farharder
The man doesn't claim to be a citizen of America therefore I don't think that rule applies.
Link01
They made their ruling, now let them enforce it.
ImHereToExplainTheJoke
Doesn't matter. Who's going to sue the president over being blocked on Twitter? "legal" and "enforceable" are two very different things.
JustTrollThings
He has a veterans group blocked. They don't enforce the rule.
PurifiedInTheWatersOfLakeMinnetonka
And yet...
SamuthNBS
Presumably only US citizens though
lookingOknaked
That is the exact reason why he will NEVER be banned from Twitter.
jhawker27
It's funny that you think rules apply to him. He has his own personal Justice* Department.
Gacva
Can't they just log out then?
AfatCatnamedHiggins
He can't block American Citizens. No American politicians can.
SaintCody
It's insane that that even had to be a discussion
RichKinWV
You mean a journalist would *lie*...I'm shocked. Almost like they don't care they make FakeNews!
Banned4Lyff
If that is the case then twitter hiding his tweets is unlawful censorship
ThisOldCPU
I'm still blocked.
shelworth
but fake memes are funnier if you believe it..
redpandabanana
Oh like rules and laws apply to trump
SuperNintentoChalmers
That's the POTUS not his personal one, he can block people on that I thought
jeffoncom
Wait you think Trump cares about the law or court rulings? Where have you been for the last 4 years?
ps238principal
I knew about that, but I haven't read if it applies to non-US citizens?
angrytaco
I wouldn't think that matters. There's no way to spot check citizenship so as a precaution I'd assume he can't block anyone
MeowWoof
Well, the dude introduced himself as a journalist in the UK...
ShowMeThemCatsFella
You think someone would do that? Go on the internet and tell LIES?!
scotskies
Doesn't mean he is British though, could be a US expat.
MeowWoof
There is so much legitimate stuff that Trump does illegally this isn't the one to get worked up about.
verdenvidia
or from the uk at all. Journalists arent always the most honest
ImSwedishPlumber
If he does, like in this case, what options does the person have the one who got blocked?
steviedrawsdinos
I don't think it happened
angrytaco
I have no idea
mirhagk
I don't know what they'd have, but this is fake. It's a joke twitter account, look it up
DHooligan3485
Sue for an injunction and have him held in contempt of court if he fails to comply
PCGamingKurshuk
Can't block americans. We have the right to follow this politics, not sure if it extends past our borders though.
GH05TY
Specifically, politicians can't block any constituents. If they speak for you they can't silence you. For the President, that's any citizen.
PhilipJFryIII
I think dms are different
illogicalphallusies
yes, thats why you can set it up so 'you' have to follow 'them' for them to DM you. But blocking someone keeps them from seeing public post
AdvocateForLucifer32
Right-Wing types used the same ruling/law to get unblocked by other senators. So probably works with Trump too.
EmCeeMiNacion
Right-wing law doesn’t work both ways.
fluffysstuff
Guess setting up rules and getting a Supreme Court ruling in your favor kinda backfired, huh?
GH05TY
Over the last decade, many public officials have been told "you can't block people on official media". It's nothing new or specific.
wintercoat
...no? No gov't official, whether Democrat or Republican, should be allowed to block people on a public forum.
WilliamWeird
Somehow I don't think that laws involving the white house are relevant anymore. You're at the dozenth major violation of law.
GrumpyOldMillennial
But the ruling was specifically for Trump and his Twitter and is applicable to nobody else. It would have no standing for a senator to use.
GrumpyOldMillennial
It literally prevents Trump from blocking on Twitter as he uses his account to announce official policy, which legslly makes it an official
GrumpyOldMillennial
Communications channel for The Office of The President. Therefore, blocking anyone is a 1st Ammendment violation.
QwertyHole69x
I think that only applies to the official POTUS account.
faradaywage
Yep - he’s fact-checked (appropriately) on this basis as well. Some goof just tried arguing the opposite with me, “publisher v platform” ffs
FourLegsGood
He's using his personal account for government business so it counts as well.
TheBurritoConfederacy
No the ruling in question is about his "private' account. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Knight_First_Amendment_Institute_v._Trump
QwertyHole69x
Ah my mistake then - thanks for the fact check!
TheBurritoConfederacy
The ruling hinges on whether the account is being used for 'official' govt business or not. If he'd kept his business and pleasure separate
TheBurritoConfederacy
by using the POTUS account the ruling would have probably gone the other way saying that he could keep blocking people with his RDT account.
DukeDarkwood
If only everyone took being corrected by evidence so responsibly, Zae. Some people, when fact-checked, try to shut down Twitter.
