Under the tweets, there is now a link reading “Get the facts about mail-in ballots” that takes users to a Twitter “moments” page with truth checks and newspaper article about Mr Trump’s unverified claims.
There is likewise a “what you need to know” box highlighting 3 different claims about postal ballot by the president and why they are inaccurate.
Mr Trump responded by tweeting: “Twitter is now interfering in the 2020 Governmental Election.
” They are stating my declaration on mail-in ballots, which will lead to huge corruption and scams, is inaccurate, based upon fact-checking by Phony News CNN and the Amazon Washington Post.
“Twitter is completely stifling FREE SPEECH, and I, as president, will not allow it to happen!”
Twitter had, up until Tuesday, declined to use its neighborhood standards and others guidelines to Mr Trump who consistently tweets out claims without backing them up.
…Twitter is totally suppressing FREE SPEECH, and I, as President, will not enable it to occur!

Mrs Klausutis’ other half, Timothy J Klausutis, composed to Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey recently, stating: “My request is simple: please delete these tweets.”
He stated Mr Trump has added to the continuous “bile and misinformation” spread about his better half which has actually made it challenging for him to carry on with his life.
Mr Trump tweeted previously this month: “When will they open a Cold Case on the Psycho Joe Scarborough matter in Florida.
” Did he get away with murder? Some people believe so. Why did he leave Congress so silently and rapidly? Isn’t it apparent? What’s taking place now? An overall nut task!”
He once again tweeted about it on Tuesday.
In his letter, Mr Klausutis stated his better half had an undiagnosed heart disease, fell and struck her head on her desk at work, which was validated by medical authorities.
