Trump Dragged For Whining About Being 'Censored'—With An Op-Ed In The 'Wall Street Journal'

Trump Dragged For Whining About Being 'Censored'—With An Op-Ed In The 'Wall Street Journal'

Twitter is having a field day with former President Donald Trump's recent—and very public—demonstration of that one-of-a-kind absence of logic we all grew accustomed to for four straight years.

Specifically, Trump attempted to call out media companies for "censoring" his speech.


But that argument grew a little shaky when people paused to acknowledge Trump published all those claims in an online Wall Street Journal opinion piece.

The digital edition of theWall Street Journal averages over 2 million daily readers.

In the Op-Ed, Trump expounded on his recent decision to sue "Big Tech" companies like Facebook and Twitter for banning him from the site following the January 6 insurrection at the U.S. Capitol.

In an attempt to gloss over the fact he repeatedly lied about election fraud in the presidential election he overwhelmingly lost to President Joe Biden, Trump engaged in some pearl-clutching over his ban from the platforms.

And, of course, he sprinkled in a little paranoia.

"Perhaps most egregious, in the weeks after the election, Big Tech blocked the social-media accounts of the sitting president. If they can do it to me, they can do it to you—and believe me, they are."
Twitter was having absolutely none of it. They gladly called out the absurdity of crying about censorship while on a major media platform.




So, whether people are intrigued, horrified, entertained, or furious, it's official—Donald Trump is back in the news.

Quite literally, in fact.

He just wrote some news shared globally by a newspaper.

If that's his definition of censorship...

Ilhan Omar Claps Back Hard After Nancy Mace Tries To Insult Her With Bizarre Post Following Iran Attack

Minnesota Democratic Representative Ilhan Omar clapped back at South Carolina Republican Representative Nancy Mace after Mace attempted to insult her and Michigan Democratic Representative Rashida Tlaib after President Donald Trump ordered an attack on various sites in Iran on Saturday morning that killed Iranian leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and other top officials.

Omar and Tlaib were the first two Muslim women elected to Congress. Both have faced repeated attacks from members of the Republican Party tied to their religion, including being labeled part of the so-called “Jihad Squad,” a term suggesting they are sympathetic to extremism or seek to impose Islamist rule in the United States.

Pete Hegseth Ripped After Trying To Claim That The U.S. 'Didn't Start This War' With Iran

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth was criticized after he claimed that the U.S. "didn't start this war" with Iran—just days after the Trump administration authorized an attack on various sites in Iran with the joint efforts of Israel over the weekend.

The war against Iran is already spreading beyond its initial battlefield. Iranian reprisals have struck Gulf states hosting U.S. bases—including Qatar, the United Arab Emirates, Kuwait and Saudi Arabia—while Hezbollah has entered the fight, firing rockets into Israel and ending a month-long ceasefire.

'SNL' Turns Trump Diss About U.S. Women's Olympic Hockey Team On Its Head With Sweet Monologue Moment

Connor Storrie’s debut Saturday Night Live monologue had just about everything: jokes, a childhood throwback, a few perfectly placed Heated Rivalry innuendos, and—because this is apparently the most athletic season in Studio 8H history—both the gold-winning players from the U.S. men’s and women’s Olympic hockey teams.

The appearance came just days after controversy over invitations to the White House and President Donald Trump’s State of the Union address, giving the night an edge that felt bigger than a typical celebrity-cameo parade.
