Fakk check fact check f a c t fact check
Trump reading from the words written down on the paper in front of him.
He sounds both congested and slobbery, as if he had both snot and spit surging out of control in his nose and mouth and throat. It’s gross.
He is barely able to read. He has to guide himself down the page with his hands. He ad libs while looking at the camera, telegraphing the fact that he’s ad libbing, which looks pretty dopy given how fiercely he has to stare at the script in order to read it. He thought “shadow” and “ban” were two of the things Twitter is doing to stifle his freespeech.
He spells the “fact” in “fact check” for us, because he was so congested and slobbery when he read it.
He considers it “censorship” to fact check.
Of course he wants all the editorial power, trying to discredit journalists, calling them liars and worse, choosing who is ‘asking the right questions’, and making sure his propaganda and bullshit is the only thing out there. Ratings! He doesn’t want to be censored, he wants to censor everyone else, using the powers of government. Government control of the media is what places like China, North Korea, and Saudi Arabia do, and it’s un-American according to our 1st amendment. He’s completely unaware of the fact that if he wasn’t so stupid and full of shit he wouldn’t be having these problems, it’s everyone else’s fault.
I get the feeling this is one giant reality show to him. He has no understanding of real world consequences, and probably wouldn’t care if he did.
It’s right, of course, that social media giants have too much power, but Trump is interested only in leveraging that power, not reducing it.
If he wanted to reduce those platforms’ power, he’d introduce measures to break up the companies and to force interoperability through mandatory open APIs and data-sharing. He’d prevent the giants from buying up and incorporating or bespoiling every competitor. He’d defy the lobbyists who work ferociously to stifle in competitors the very sorts of disruptive innovation that allowed the social media giants to become gigantic in the first place.
Everyone other than the social media giants themselves would benefit but that isn’t what Trump wants.
