Trump Wants to ‘Regulate’ Twitter After Being Called Out for Lying
In a recent episode of ‘who Donald Trump wants to fight now,’ Twitter has been featured as the US President’s latest enemy. After POTUS recently tweeted against mail-in ballots in the US, calling it an attempt to undermine and rig the upcoming elections, Twitter was quick to respond and call him out for his lies.
“Get the facts about mail-in ballots,” tweeted the social networking site on its official handle as it tagged two of Trump’s tweets. This indirect yet quite a direct jibe at calling Trump’s tweets misinformation and lie obviously did not go down well with the president.
“POTUS will sign an executive order pertaining to social media on Thursday,” an aide to Trump said, without sharing more details about the contents of the executive order.
