Twitter User Creates Account to Tweet Exactly What Trump Does to See If He'll Get Suspended, and It Only Took 3 Days

President Donald Trump has over 80 million Twitter followers and has tweeted nearly 50 thousand times.

The President's antics on Twitter became infamous during the 2016 campaign, but people assumed after his election that the President would have less time to tweet, and that his tweets would be less incendiary when he assumed the responsibilities of the President of the United States.


In fact, that hasn't happened.

The President has broken his personal daily record for tweeting and retweeting at least twice since he's been in office.

The content hasn't changed much either, and many would say it's worsened.

Trump tweeted for four American Congresswoman of color to "go back" to where they came from. He's attacked everyone from MSNBC's Joe Scarborough to former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton to the teenage climate activist Greta Thunberg to Republican Senator Mitt Romney.

The protests against the murder of George Floyd by police have only exacerbated the President's erratic tweets, with some even flagged by Twitter for glorifying violence.

Twitter refuses to suspend the President's account, however, citing his relevance as a world leader.

So the Twitter account @Suspendthepres decided to put the standard to the test. The user behind the account began tweeting exactly what the President tweeted and urged its thousands of followers to report the tweets.

The account was suspended in less than three days.

The tweet that spurred the suspension was the same that Twitter flagged for violence on the President's account. It referred to protestors of George Floyd's murder as "thugs" and quoted the infamous phrase from racist 1960s Miami police chief Walter Headley: "When the looting starts, the shooting starts."

Twitter told @suspendthepres in a message announcing the suspension:

"[W]e've temporarily limited some of your account features. While in this state, you can still browse Twitter, but you're limited to only sending Direct Messages to your followers—no Tweets, Retweets, follows, or likes."

People commended the account for exposing the lower standard to which Trump is held.






Meanwhile others were livid with Jack Dorsey, other Twitter executives, and Donald Trump for the constant stream of belligerent tweets.




Trump frequently complains that Twitter is biased against him, but as these tweets show, it's at least somewhat biased in his favor.

It's already scary to witness a younger person go through a life-changing medical diagnosis, but it's especially jarring to see a medical professional, who presumably knows best about how to care for themselves, go through the same.

Sandra Lee, known as "Dr. Pimple Popper" on Lifetime, is well-known for her bedside manner, medical knowledge and ability to share her knowledge in an accessible way, and, of course, her unique approach to dermatological care.

Rob Schneider Dragged For Criticizing Elizabeth Banks' 'Dangerous Rhetoric' After She Called Out White Female Trump Voters

After actor and filmmaker Elizabeth Banks—who played Effie Trinket in The Hunger Games—called out white women who voted for President Donald Trump, MAGA actor Rob Schneider lashed out against what he referred to as her "dangerous rhetoric."

Those who've read the book and seen the film adaptation of The Hunger Games know that Trinket—known for joyfully announcing, "Happy Hunger Games and the odds may be ever in your favor!"—is a mistress of propaganda for a hostile government that forces teenagers to fight to the death every year to intimidate critics and keep society's poorest and most vulnerable in line. Trinket eventually embraces the rebellion.

Musician Kid Rock has hitched his wagon to president Donald Trump for quite some time now, and it seems he too is in the "find out" stage of that particularly exercise in FAFO.

It seems that when the president you form your entire personality around craters to a catastrophic approval rating even for him, your ship starts to sink too.

Trump's Border Czar Ripped For Hypocrisy After Telling Pope Leo To 'Stay Out Of Politics'

President Donald Trump's border czar Tom Homan was called out for hypocrisy after telling Pope Leo XIV to "stay out of politics" after he clashed with Trump over the widely unpopular war in Iran.

Last week, Pope Leo criticized the war and called on the world "to reject war, especially a war which many people have said is an unjust war, which is continuing to escalate and is not resolving anything."
