    Trump’s Saturday morning tweets come as companies have been working to ban right-wing “Infowars” conspiracy theorist Alex Jones from their platforms.

    Apple, YouTube and Spotify have permanently removed some of his content, Facebook has suspended him for 30 days and removed some of his pages, while Twitter has given Jones a weeklong timeout and is mulling deeper changes to try to limit the spread of fake news, misinformation and hate speech.

    Trump did not mention Jones by name in his tweets, which complained that, “Too many voices are being destroyed, some good & some bad.”

    Trump appeared on Jones’ program during the 2016 campaign and praised his “amazing” reputation.

    Another nothing burger to attack attack attack by the ill inforned Orange Yutz who has NO CLUE how social media works. Its just more orange meat for his under-educated trailer park lemmings who don’t understand social media 101.

    Alex Jones helped elect Donald Trump. Donald Trump has appeared on Jones’ Infowars and has praised the conspiracy theorist even after Jones’s bizarre claim that Sandy Hook wasa hoax and that our government was behind the 9/11 attack. Jones has also revealed that there was a conspiracy by that dreaded deep state to poison Trump and has frequently warned of coup attempts. Jones also prediucted the outbreak of a civil war on July 4th to take out Trump.
    Roger Stone, who’s a frequent guest on Infowarts is a close friend of Trump.
    You judge a man by the friends he has.

    My bro Munch says that even if you think Trump would be a good king, Washington himself refused to allow himself to be a monarch, despite having the opportunity.
