There’s Nothing The President Has Done So Far Less American Than This
Here’s why the President’s Executive Order targeting social media is not “all hat/no cattle” or “pure political theater”, or “just another distraction”
Seems like a big part of Trump’s re-election strategy is going to be to say the President rubs a lot of people the wrong way, but he gets things done. His campaign even runs ads that say that. We can just point to his COVID-19 response as evidence that’s not true. But even if it was, what they leave out is that when he sets his mind to something, it’s often something insane and comes from a place of retribution and punishment for a perceived slight. And also redirects resources from potentially important business, to the President’s personal vendettas.
So no surprise the President fires at Twitter for fact-checking him for the first time ever, with an Executive Order threatening to regulate the hell out of social media companies. Oh, and when have you ever heard the President say he’s in favor of more regulation? When it potentially shuts people up from calling him out on his lies, that’s when. And even though legal scholars and media pundits are pooh-poohing the potential real world impact of his move, we don’t think it should be taken lightly.
