Friday evening, President Donald Trump retweeted a photo showing a piece of dog feces with a fake political sign for 2020 Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) stuck through it, promising "free shit."
The picture was originally posted by Twitter user Deb Porter, who identifies herself on her Twitter profile as a "Proud Trump Supporter!" Her Twitter feed is mostly retweets of pro-Trump and conservative comments and articles. Porter did not include a comment when she posted the image to her account, nor did Trump when he retweeted it. Shortly after 11 p.m. EST, however, Porter's account was suspended by Twitter, removing the tweet from Trump's timeline.
Vox reporter Aaron Rupar claimed on Twitter that Porter was a "QAnon fan account," and pointed out that the account was created only this month, and had what Rupar called "an extremely sketchy handle," referring to the string of numbers at the end of Porter's Twitter account name.
"I don't think the origin of the tweet is as pertinent as the fact that the President of the United States tweeted out a photo of a turd," reporter Helen Kennedy said, in reply to Rupar's original tweet.............

(33,120 posts)Instead of doing the correct thing under their own TOS and suspending Twitler's account. They are in effect cleaning up his flaming dumpster feed by deleting tweets or suspending other Twitter users in an effort to white-wash Old Yeller's foul Twitter image.
Amazing. I wonder how long his supporters will put up with being removed from Twitter for the sake of The Tangeranus. Many of them are as self-centered and sociopathic as he is and taking away their bullhorn is not going to go over too well.
Shame on Twitter... Instead of doing the best thing for the Society they claim to be the Media for and suspending the Crockwork Orange for clear violations of their own TOS that would have had anyone else removed years ago. They always take the low click-bait advertising revenue road.
