Donald Trump woke up, picked up the phone and started “tweeting” about the vote count that is still going on in the United States. Four messages in a row hidden by Twitter, which marked them as “questionable or erroneous in relation to the elections and other civil trials.”
A more recent message, in which Trump “shouts” “I WON THIS ELECTION A LOT, BY A LOT”, was also pointed out by Twitter, which alerts Trump’s followers, more than 80 million on that social network, that there would be no official confirmation of these accusations when the president of the United States published this tweet, around 10.40 am (15.40 in mainland Portugal).
According to CNN, Twitter has already warned and “drowned out” 37% of Donald Trump’s “tweets” since election night. According to accounts made by that American television network, which the president of the United States frequently criticizes, until 10 am on Saturday, 16 of the 43 “tweets” of Trump were stamped with “questionable or erroneous messages in relation to the elections and other civil procedures “.
Numbers that apply only to Donald Trump’s personal Twitter and that do not address the social networks of friends, family and close advisers, whose “posts” also deserve repairs on that social network, which Trump used, also this Saturday morning , starting in the afternoon, to announce a “big press conference” at a hotel in Philadelphia, the largest city in the state of Pennsylvania, whose 20 electoral college votes can decide the winner.
Donald Trump’s problems with the truth are not of today. Independent studies have reported thousands of “wrong or false” messages in the US President’s speeches and messages during his four years in the White House.
In the early hours of Friday, some of the main television stations in the United States, such as ABC, CBS and NBC, cut the president’s speech in prime time, while Fox News, informational leader of the Republican Party, denied the claims of Donald Trump . .
“We have to interrupt Trump because the president has made a series of false statements,” said journalist Lester Holt, host of NBC Nightly News, one of the three most-followed news programs on free-to-air television.
So did David Muir, host of the most followed newscast in the country, with eight million daily viewers, ABC World News Tonight. “There was just no evidence, in any of these states, that there are illegal votes,” he said. Then, the journalist explained that due to the pandemic, voting by mail increased, breaking records: more than 100 million Americans voted earlier, which prolonged voting.
CBS, the third in hearings, also launched an investigation when Trump finished his speech and dismissed all accusations of “fraud” and “corruption of the system.” More striking were the information services of the American public radio, NPR: “Trump, once again, falsely claimed victory in the 2020 elections. He did not win. The votes are still being counted,” he said.
