Trump tweets joke story about Twitter shutting down for Biden, talks about it as if it's real
The Twitter blunders from president Trump just keep coming.
On Friday, Trump retweeted a story from parody site Babylon Bee which claims that Twitter shut down its network to slow the spread of negative news about Joe Biden.
"Wow, this has never been done in history. This includes his really bad interview last night. Why is Twitter doing this. Bringing more attention to Sleepy Joe & Big T," Trump commented.

Babylon Bee's "About Us" section clearly states that it's a parody site. "The Babylon Bee is the world’s best satire site, totally inerrant in all its truth claims. We write satire about Christian stuff, political stuff, and everyday life," it says.
In reality, Twitter's servers did have issues Thursday evening, but not because Dorsey bludgeoned them with a sledgehammer. Twitter's official support account said the company "had some trouble" with internal systems, adding it hadn't found evidence of a security breach or a hack.
The list of Trump's Twitter blunders is long, and includes the infamous "covfefe" tweet, spelling his wife Melania's name incorrectly, and talking about "unpresidented" acts, to name a few. In this latest one, Trump is likely guilty of doing something both Facebook and Twitter have recently been battling: He shared a story without reading beyond the headline.
Don't do it, folks; you'll end up sharing completely ridiculous, fake news. Just like the President of the United States.
What is sad is that this article is trying to persuade people that it isn’t true.
ReplyDeleteSince so many idiots in this thread don’t read, the Babylon Bee is a satire site.
ReplyDeletesatire-parody
DeleteIsn’t this your pres who says the dumb things then , afterward, ( after counsel) says he was only being sarcastic . People with personality disorders tend not to get humour.
ReplyDeleteSure are an awful lot of people who don't understand that the word "satire" by definition means that it's fake

Funny that's exactly what they did.
ReplyDeletesmashed the servers with a sledgehammer? It's a parody site. Meaning is a joke.
DeleteBless your heart. Stick with your Faux News BS

What is wrong with media?. Pretty obvious they did
ReplyDeleteHe doesn't care if it is real. All he has to do is make people believe it is real.
ReplyDeleteBig T is playing 4D chess. By doing what he did, most of you liberal shits inadvertently looked into Hunter and Joe Bidens corrupt dealings.
ReplyDeleteBig Tech? You obviously didn’t even read the article. ;D You actually think that flaming Dumpster has a strategy?
DeleteTwitter killed the tweet about the Bidens and Burisma claims that's all
ReplyDeleteBecause he’s a senile old man duped by the internet and phishing schemes
ReplyDeleteI'm trying to figure out how this bs showed on my feed?
ReplyDeleteNo critical filter.
ReplyDeleteReminds me of the time that Trump had been watching an episode of WWE on tv and thought that WWE boss Vince McMahon had been killed when his limo had exploded, but it was just part of a fake backstory of animosity between Vince and one of the wrestlers.
ReplyDeleteyou live in Australia. Your opinion does not matter! ALERT Paid negative comment!
DeleteEngland btw, I have several American friends and they respect and acknowledge my opinions on the politics of their country, just like I respect their opinion on the political commentary of my country. Seems mutually fair, wouldn’t you agree?
DeleteShouldn’t matter where I’m from, just like it shouldn’t matter that our Rupert Murdoch and his Fox News hosts influence the feeble minds of Trump and his supporters, yet they DO influence what Trump says and does.
DeletePoor guy doesn’t know parody from reality..... now his followers will start quoting this as “fake news” and say how unfair he is being treated....
ReplyDeleteOMG - BabylonBee is a parody website making political fun and not ever to be taken seriously or as the truth.
ReplyDeleteStable genius with Nuclear codes, swayed by a troll.
ReplyDeleteWait I bet over half of y'all talking trash already voted for Biden the same man who thinks he's running for senate.

I'm sure you know what parody is and is not.
ReplyDeleteIs there any chance this moronic idiocy will come to an end after the election? Inquiring minds want to know.
ReplyDeleteIm gonna highlight the word joke.
ReplyDeleteBecause noone can take it
The Bee is still more accurate than Mashable.
ReplyDeleteYet here you are.
Delete..Mashable thanks you for the support.

DeleteIt is from a satirical site. In other words, it is really fake news. Trump just retweets without checking or thinking. Good grief, people, stop spreading it like it's true.
ReplyDeleteNow “they” have to kill those who had to kill the first team who killed the seal team who 'didn't kill bin laden'. Gotta keep going to keep it a secret right? What a load of BS! ;D
ReplyDeleteUhhh, that’s why Twitter CEO is headed to Washington to testify before committee. Twitter DID try to shut down Biden story but failed. Story all over media. Are you try to say it didn’t happen too, Mashable? There’s still room at the table in Washington!
