Will they suspend me? @SuspendThePres
This account will tweet what the President tweets. Lets see if it gets suspended for violating twitters TOS. Follow along with this social experiment. Report any tweets that violate the rules. Thank you.

SuspendThePres began directly copying and reposting U.S. president Donald Trump's tweets on May 29. Run by a user who also tweets as BizzareLazar, the experiment was prompted by Trump's recent executive order calling for social media companies' protections to be reconsidered. Trump issued the order after Twitter applied a fact-check label to two of his tweets.
"I wanted to see for myself if he was indeed violating [Twitter's terms of service]," said SuspendThePres, speaking to Mashable via DM. They declined to give their real name, given current events and the nature of the experiment, but stated they are a U.S. citizen.
"Figured what better way to test out the hypothesis than to see if they suspended me for the exact same language."Link to tweet

....These THUGS are dishonoring the memory of George Floyd, and I wont let that happen. Just spoke to Governor Tim Walz and told him that the Military is with him all the way. Any difficulty and we will assume control but, when the looting starts, the shooting starts. Thank you!
12:53 AM - May 29, 2020
The tweet that triggered SuspendThePres' suspension was an exact copy of Trump's now infamous "when the looting starts, the shooting starts" tweet from May 28, which threatened violence against citizens protesting police brutality. It was the first tweet SuspendThePres copied.

Twitter lets Dumpus get away with a lot of shit for which other users are quickly banned.
