Trump got a tweet removed.
Trump's Nickelback meme taken down by Twitter over copyright violation
Within 12 hours of President Donald Trump tweeting a digitally altered meme inserting former Vice President Joe Biden into a 2005 Nickelback music video, Twitter disabled the content from playing "in response to a report by the copyright owner."
The 20-second video tweeted by Trump opened with a clip of Biden on the campaign trail saying he had never discussed business dealings with his son Hunter Biden.
The video then cut to the Nickelback video, wherein band frontman sings the lyrics "look at this photograph" and holds up a picture. The video Trump tweeted superimposed on that picture a photo from 2014 of Joe and Hunter Biden on a golf course with Hunter Biden's business associate.
While the tweet remained up as of Thursday late morning, the video was removed. In its place is a message from Twitter reading: "This media has been disabled in response to a report by the copyright owner."

Trump’s tweets are unstoppable, except when it comes to Nickelback

Citing a potential copyright violation, Twitter took down a meme tweeted by President Trump that used a parody of a music video by the rock band Nickelback to promote discredited corruption claims about former vice president Joe Biden.
Trump posted the video late Wednesday afternoon on the heels of a string of tweets attacking the impeachment inquiry by congressional Democrats. It featured a version of the video for Nickleback’s 2005 hit “Photograph” that had been edited to show lead singer Chad Kroeger holding up a picture of Biden and his son Hunter posing with an executive of Ukrainian gas company Burisma Holdings, where the younger Biden was a board member. The tweet caption read, “LOOK AT THIS PHOTOGRAPH!”
Within hours, Twitter received a takedown notice from Warner Music Group, the copyright owner for the original music video, according to documents posted to the Lumen Database, which tracks online copyright infringement complaints.
By Thursday morning, the video had been removed, replaced by a notice from Twitter saying it was pulled “in response to a report from the copyright owner.” But Trump’s allies, including his son Donald Trump Jr. and White House social media director Dan Scavino, continued tweeting out their own versions of the meme Thursday morning in open defiance of Twitter’s action.
