President Donald Trump on Saturday again lashed out at his enemies in the media in a Twitter rant where he urged the company to delete the accounts of The New York Times and Washington Post.

“Twitter is getting rid of fake accounts at a record pace. Will that include the Failing New York Times and propaganda machine for Amazon, the Washington Post, who constantly quote anonymous sources that, in my opinion, don’t exist,” Trump wrote. The president, whose businesses have repeatedly declared bankruptcy, also predicted that both newspapers would be, “out of business in 7 years!”

The company has been repeatedly urged to ban President Trump for violating the company’s terms of service.

In January, the social media company updated its policies to protect President Trump’s account.

1. They're not banning the fake GOPers fast enough. Between the exclusively female Jordan defenders -

Calling the wrestlers “buff” today and all the bots pretending to be liberals earlier this week it’s as highly coordinated as ever. Ban his girl Haberman maybe, but get rid of the bots first.

2. Thus sayeth the ass with literally millions of fake russian bot followers.

He ALWAYS ALWAYS accuses others, and yells and demeans others for doing the EXACT same thing he's doing. He thinks they're failing because he's such a grotesque failure. The only way he makes money is stealing it from us (making government pay tens of millions of $$ to house SS at his personal golf courses and pay for their golf carts)with help from Putin and compliant russian repugs. Flint could have been completely repiped and more with the $$ sent to orange assface himself to protect himself. How is this not a total violation of law?? It makes me so sick.

Interesting too how he always associates companies or countries with other prominent, powerful and/or wealthy individuals: WaPo is Bezos, Russia is Putin, Blacks are Waters, Democrats are Pelosi....

11. When's Twitter going to disable Dump?

No one deserves it more!

12. Who needs to be kicked off of Twitter?

It looks like Cheeto is the one with the fake followers, and probably most of those are Russian!

13. This is why it is so hard for the Onion and Borowitz these days

it is almost hard for satire to beat reality these days

[yallerdawg]

14. I agree, except...

it should only be in regards to repeating the Dotard's tweets and words that have come out of his mouth.

That would eliminate the vast amount of 'Fake News' we are subjected to.

15. "Anonymous sources that don't exist"

He’s projecting again.

16. Reminds me of my MAGA father...

...who is quick to call out my sources on social media as being “fake news” yet reposts images of dogs with deli meat on their face as a “hero dog for saving a family from a burning building”

17. The devil will have recalled Trump by then
