Did I really hear that TPOUS has been reprimanded by a social media platform who told him to check his facts?
What the hell is the world coming to when, quite possibly, the most powerful leader in the world is being told how he should behave by a social messaging system.
No wonder the world is a mess.
Normally I would agree Super.Quote:

Remember, recently he suggested that ingesting disinfectant could cure the virus and he has admitted to taking hydroxychloroquine, which the WHO have deemed to be potentially dangerous.
There are plenty of people, especially in the States, who hang onto his every word.
What he says needs fact checking otherwise he is a danger to the general public.
59_60 ----agree with that, however, he should not be being told by a social media platform, he should be receiving advice from those paid to advise him and he should be listening!Quote:

Having said all that, please convince me that it isn't a social media platform running the USA because, if the Twitter network goes down, Trump will be totally lost because it is his main means of communication!
It's just another form of getting his message out Super, and it is important to him.
Like other types of media (TV, radio, newspapers, political leaflets etc) the contents of what a politician says should always be scrutinised and, where something is factually incorrect, this should be made clear.
In other words, a politician cannot say what the hell they like and not be challenged. And then it is up to the voters to decide.
I suppose that I give Joe Public more credit for his intelligence than he deserves. Personally, I listen to what is reported and then make my own evaluation, relating both to the truth of reporting and the relevant facts. If I am honest ---I trust nobody! lolQuote:

Expertly said 59 and you will have had lots of practice with miss Swinson in the last campaign to run the country from the Liberal Democrat’s , I mean she had plenty to say factually in her words that turned out not to be.Quote:
