President Trump is going to war with Tweeter.
The United States finally takes action on Hong Kong
The EU proposes 750 Billion in aid because of the Coronavirus.

I think I’m going to need a week before I can fully digest what this all means. President Trump is essentially going to war with a public trading company over fact-checking information. I’ll talk about it from both angle’s but I’m sure this isn’t the last we’ll focus on this.
First, what Tweeter is doing is completely within the right of their company. As long as Tweeter does not lie about its fact checks then it is hard to create an argument against what they are doing. President Trump doesn’t have a right to threaten the company because of how the company legally left a link at the bottom of the tweet. And at the most bottom line, I can think of Tweeter as a company can do as they please because its Tweeter’s platform. They can run their business and platform as they please. Don’t like it, don’t use it.
Okay, let’s look at the flip side. The best angle I can see the President coming at would be the politically biased angle. And the question that would have to be asked, is Tweeter focusing on the Republican Party or are they fact-checking everything including what Democrats say and of course Joe Biden. If Tweeter is really only focusing on President Trump and the Republicans, I can see a case of biases. But at this time, I don’t know enough on overall Tweeter fact-checking guidelines. But I’ll be sure to find out. 
There is still a rabbit hole of things I want to talk about, like the first amendment, mail-in voting, and so on, but this is a short podcast that I’m sure will go over the 10-minute mark we strive for.
