He thinks he's still President - ROFL

https://www.yahoo.com/gma/trump-remain-banned-facebook-now-131000556.html
Trump responded to the board's ruling in a statement, "What Facebook, Twitter, and Google have done is a total disgrace and an embarrassment to our Country. Free Speech has been taken away from the President of the United States because the Radical Left Lunatics are afraid of the truth, but the truth will come out anyway, bigger and stronger than ever before. The People of our Country will not stand for it! These corrupt social media companies must pay a political price, and must never again be allowed to destroy and decimate our Electoral Process."

In a separate statement released on Wednesday, Trump again baselessly claimed there was fraud in the 2020 election.

I've also seen Former Guy skate on everything in his life up to this point, so my cynicism on this topic has evidence as well.

Trump University was a scam; there was no consequence for him.
The Trump Foundation was a scam; he paid a fine.

... so it has costed him. On the Trump Foundation, it was also a court ordered that neither he nor his older three children could be associated with any charitable foundation.

He has had a lot of financial repercussions. A big part of his grift is just to keep his charade on the road.

Here's a quick lesson about the freedom of speech clause of the Constitution.

The First Amendment bars, in part, the U.S. Government from censoring speech. It does not bar private companies from setting their terms of service. Facebook and Twitter have not violated any laws nor the Constitution in banning you because they are not part of the Government.

So, only one of two things can be true:
1. You know these facts but suppose your followers don't and you're gaslighting them.
=====OR=====
2. You don't know these facts which makes you an even bigger idiot since you just finished 4 years on the job but didn't learn a damn thing.

I'm betting it's No. 2.

Trump, you're an ass and an idiot.

DJT is a total lunatic that should be locked up.......I can't understand why FB, Twitter and google have turned their backs on this insane behavior. They wouldn't let any of the rest of us do these things, why DJT? DJT is an extremely dangerous man and he is calling out all the crazies in our country and around the world. What DJT wants isn't called free speech, it's derogatory speech meant to ruin our country and call out others just like him to join him.
