Trump Says He Should Have Shut Down Twitter, Like Nigeria Is Doing
The former president, now suspended from social media, congratulated the country on its national Twitter ban.
Donald Trump can’t tweet, but his blatherings still get repeated on the social media platform that banned him after he spread violence-stoking lies.
On Tuesday, the former US leader praised Nigeria for suspending Twitter last week after the social media company deleted President Muhammadu Buhari’s post threatening mass violence against people he accused of attacking the nation’s infrastructure. Twitter also temporarily cut off Buhari’s account.
“Congratulations to the county of Nigeria, who just banned Twitter because they banned their president,” Trump said in a statement. “More countries should ban Twitter and Facebook for not allowing free open speech – all voices should be heard.”
