Suspension would be something humiliating at least. Besides, it's true, some nutcase could read this and go rogue.

And twitters history of enforcing its own rules hasn’t been good.

Also, the tweet above doesn’t blatantly violate any twitter rules.

Twitter users call out fake news all the time. I did it hundreds of times in 2016. I doubt it gets Cheeto banned.

Anything to shut down his direct route to the people, I'm on board though. Anything this idiot says needs to be filtered through the media first. He should have no direct pipeline.
