Facebook Suspends Trump Until He Is Not Potus

[Ellipsis]

If it's too great a risk for Facebook to allow him on their platform, how great a risk is it for America and the rest of the world that this man is the President, with all the power that goes with that?

Donald Trump has been suspended from his Facebook account for at least two weeks - and possibly indefinitely.

It means the president will be unable to post on Facebook and Instagram until after the transition of power to Joe Biden on 20 January.

The social network had originally imposed a 24-hour ban after his supporters attacked the US Capitol.

Facebook's chief Mark Zuckerberg wrote that the risks of allowing Mr Trump to post "are simply too great".

he's got quite a lot madder over the last month or two, shirley, and he's reached the point where he's no longer going to have to clean up the mess himself.

He clearly did incite yesterday's riots.

To condone Mr Trump's seriously irresponsible rabble rousing by referring to it as a 'witch hunt' is to offer him a defence for his actions which he absolutely does not deserve.

The man is an insult to the office he holds.

[lady-janine]

Can I suggest he should be given some form of tranquilising/sleeping treatment until after his term finishes.

Trump's inauguration speech of four years ago, played over yesterday's events ...

But he's not gonna press any red button is he ? Strange how many posters on here defend people time and time again with mental health issues when it's patently obvious he has them, but he's not afforded the same defence.

andy - anything you say to me is just blah blah blah ....

[burlyshirley]

I repeat - a witch hunt !

[Ellipsis]

I'm not hunting him, simply responding to events that he himself started.

That's because he's the only person with mental health issues who has managed to parlay himself into being the most powerful man in the western world, with attendant chaos following.

// andy - anything you say to me is just blah blah blah .... //

Good job I'm not as rude to you then isn't it - otherwise I would not be able to respond to your posts however nonsensical they are.

[Bazile]

I understand he was being measured a few weeks ago for his suit ,for the Biden inarguration

Let's hope he doesn't forget to attend for the fitting

And speaking of nonsensical posts ...

[tomus42]

It's a sensible move to keep him off social media. He's clearly intent on causing as much trouble as possible before he goes, and this will make it harder for him.

Burley; what first attracted you to millionaire Donald Trump?

[Canary42]

If it's a witch hunt, then fair response for the relentless one Trump conducted against Obama in respect of his place of birth. Kharma.

In what way is it a witch hunt for goodness sake...

[Peter Pedant]

he's baaaaack ! ( Trump has been restored, only in America folks!) [Poltergeist]

and did Andy H mention long nonsensical exhaustive posts? Hi Andy back on form I see

and in a completely different guise - smooth transition and a time to heal

whaddda guy! all things to all men

[Peter Pedant]

// Burley; what first attracted you to millionaire Donald Trump?//
Burley answers: he is a winner and has a way with women!

sozza one shouldnt mock the afflicted ( the trump that is!)

[Souldarkness]

I would suggest Mr Trump is not suffering from any recognised mental illness but is a decompensating sociopath. That's not sad, that's one of the few things still classed as mad. His world view has been shattered and it will take him time to reconstruct a new one.

[Peter Pedant]

agree souldarkness
certainly has no insight ( the president that is!)
which is the first step in seeking help

and " I won the election and so the polls that show I didnt must be fraudulent. All they have to do is look." is er not that mad considering what mad people say

like sort of

"Alfred latest: cakes burnt, oven too hot complains King"
and no one says He was mad because he won in the end

[Souldarkness]

Living within a totally delusional construct. The worst thing is when you read his expressions there is obviously a part of him that doesn't believe what he is saying. Huge conflict even within a few seconds. He says one thing his face says something different.

[TonyV]

Didn't Trump suggest that people drink bleach to combat covid?
