With VERY little payoff. We know trump lies. Trump's supporters know he lies (they simply don't care). I cannot stand seeing him or hearing him or anything he tweets; I personally have him blocked.

However, what kind of criteria is Twitter using to select this one tweet out of the thousands upon thousands? What kind of criteria will they use against Biden and any other Democrat/progressive candidates (let's be honest, they're ALL politicians and sometimes may be less than truthful). If this was out of the blue... I'm sorry to say Twitter IS being biased. And as rancid as this trump is, that simply is dirty pool and will harm the effort to remove him from power.

He has another red-meat distraction for his base - their boy is being CENSORED and "Holy 1st Amendment, Batman" and fake news, ad nauseum. In the middle of a pandemic.
