LOS ANGELES: While Twitter put Donald Trump in a penalty box for a tweet advocating violence against crowds Minneapolis protesters, Facebook and Instagram for now have left up the same message from the president on their services without any similar warning.
Trump, responding to protests in Minneapolis over the death of George Floyd, a black man killed by city police, said in posts early Friday morning on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram that he had pledged military support to the state to quell the unrest. The president concluded, "Any difficulty and we will assume control but, when the looting starts, the shooting starts. Thank you!"
