It’s Saturday, January 9th, 2021. President Donald J. Trump, our 45th President, had all of his accounts on social media, most notably Twitter, banned within the last 48 hours. Additionally, on January 8th, thousands of Trump supporters, including myself, also had their accounts banned from Twitter.
Let’s review how we got here.
Donald J. Trump was elected as the 45th President of the United States of America in November 2016, beating his corrupt opponent, Hillary Rodham Clinton. Donald J. Trump was previously known as the rich business real estate mogul who owned several high-end luxury hotels all over the world, notably filing for bankruptcy several times, and also a reality T.V. star who had hosted a show called The Apprentice for several seasons. He had no previous political experience, so when Mr. Trump announced he was going to run for the Presidency it was treated like a huge joke, but the media was still friendly to him at the time.
Surprisingly, Mr. Trump won the Republican Primary, and became the GOP candidate for President of the United States of America for the 2016 Presidential Election. In thanks to the disenfranchisement the people of the U.S.A. felt towards the prior administration under President Barrack Hussein Obama and Vice President Joseph Biden, in which the Democratic Presidential Candidate, Hillary Rodham Clinton, served as the Secretary of State, and the news of Mrs. Clinton’s eggregious negligence of handling classified emails on a private server, Donald Trump surprised the world by winning the 2016 Presidential Election. Everyone was stunned. There was no possible way that an outsider reality T.V. star and real estate mogul with no political history was supposed to win. All of the political polls said Donald Trump was going to lose the election.
One of Donald Trump’s campaign promises was to “drain the swamp,” and this triggered the fear. People in congress started talking about impeaching President Trump months before he had even taken his oath of office. The media, which had already begun speaking disparagingly of President Trump, became increasingly hostile towards him while the Democrats in office in Congress vowed they would fight him with every fiber of their being. And so, President Trump took office in January 2017 with hostilities already mounting against him.
The next four years would be unbelievable. President Trump achieved historic accomplishments such as the largest tax cuts in years, the first permanent funding for Historically Black Colleges and Universities, the lowest recorded unemployment rates of African American and Hispanic populations in the country, a nationwide reduction of the number of people living in poverty, and the lowest number of people on government assistance programs, like food stamps, on a national level, and so much more. In the first four years of his Presidential Term, Donald Trump accomplished at least double what other Presidents accomplished in two terms.
A President with Donald Trump’s accomplishments should be popular with the people, and he certainly is. However, according to the media, celebrities, corrupt politicians, and those susceptible to the never ending barrage of propaganda that is so heavily present at this state in time, Donald Trump is a horrible human being who can’t do anything right. Donald Trump and his supporters have been called racist, sexist, xenophobic, deplorable, evil, and Lord only knows what else. Donald Trump has also spent his first four years in office being blamed for everything from his rhetoric being responsible for the obesity of African American women because he stresses them out (and I only wish this were a joke) to the death of four hundred thousand or more American citizens from the COVID-19 pandemic hoax that started in Wuhan China at the end of 2019 and quickly spread to the rest of the world. He has been accused of colluding with Russia in the 2016 election, obstruction of justice, censured in Congress, impeached, smeared and ridiculed by the liberal left and the media, and resisted at every turn. The hatred of Donald Trump is so fierce that even kids get beat up on school buses just for wearing any article of clothing that shows support of him.
And let’s just set the record straight here in regards to to President Trump’s handling of the COVID-19 “crisis.” When it became apparent that large numbers of citizens in China were dying from this “novel coronavirus,” before we knew anything about the “disease,” the initial projections indicated that at least two million American citizens would die. Fresh off being impeached by the House of Representatives (whose motion failed to receive the needed amount of votes needed in the Senate to remove him from office), President Trump enacted a travel ban on flights from China to the U.S.A. that took effect on January 27th, 2019, with a similar travel ban being imposed on flights from Europe shortly after. This move drew the ire of the media, celebrities, and the left, with President Trump being called both racist and xenophobic for even daring to implement these travel bans in the first place.
President Trump then declared a State of Emergency for the U.S.A. At the end of March of 2019 he gave direction to the states to implement whatever measures they felt they needed to do to mitigate the situation. The consensus nationally was that everyone would stay home for fourteen days in order to stop the spread of this “pandemic” that we were just starting to learn about. President Trump created a Coronavirus Task Force, and tasked Vice President Mike Pence with leading it. First the lead medical expert on the task force, Dr. Fauci, and the CDC said wearing face masks wasn’t necessary and that masks didn’t stop the spread of the “disease,” but they later changed their directional guidance on masks. The fourteen day period changed into declarations for citizens to remain home for months as directed by individual state mandates. Additionally, non essential businesses like restaurants, gyms, and movie theaters were closed on state orders, and the state leaderships also issued mandatory wearing of face masks in public. As a result, the economy came to a grinding halt as businesses closed permanently and people lost their jobs.
When President Trump called for businesses to start reopening near the end of April to May of 2019 our nation’s unemployment rate was predicted to exceed 32%, which was greater than the unemployment rate during the Great Depression of the 1920’s. But this didn’t matter to the media, celebrities, and the liberal left; President Trump was instead accused of only caring about the health of the businesses that he was no longer running due to his role as the Leader of the Free World. Additionally, New York and another state or two inflated the death numbers by moving people sick with COVID-19 to nursing homes, therefore exposing the susceptible elderly population to exposure to the virus. To this day most states are still locked down, have active mask mandate orders, and of course everything, especially the death toll, is the fault of President Trump because he failed to take any concrete action to prevent the virus from spreading throughout the nation.
And then, the next Presidential Election was set to occur on November 3rd, 2020, yet the country was still deep in the throes of “a worldwide pandemic.” So, changes were illegally made to the voting laws of several states by local authorities and state courts without being implemented by the legislative bodies of those states. Mail-in voting was pushed heavily by the liberal left with illegal extended voting durations, and lax controls to ensure ballots being received were valid. So most of the country voted by mail in advance of the actual election.
Election day came as planned, and at 10 P.M. Eastern time, President Trump had a huge lead over his opponent Joe Biden. Suddenly, several states stopped counting ballots. Within minutes of the polls closing in the state of Arizona Fox News declared Joe Biden the winner of the state even though votes were only beginning to be tabulated. At 2 A.M. Eastern time on November 4th, 2020 Pennsylvania, Michigan, Georgia, and Wisconsin hadn’t been called for either candidate, with President Trump holding an almost insurmountable lead. Suddenly, between 3 A.M. and 4 A.M. votes started to be counted again, with Joe Biden miraculously taking the lead in the undetermined states. Across the country, Republican poll watchers were being kept far distances away so they couldn’t observe the counting of votes, or were thrown out of the building. Poll watchers would report things like windows being covered by cardboard so you couldn’t see into them from outside, to witnessing counters scanning batches of ballots through the voting machines multiple times. Naturally with such strange occurrences happening across the country as described the results of the election were in dispute.
President Trump accurately started contesting he election results publicly, including on social media, and calling it a rigged election. Twitter started putting a warning label on the President’s tweets saying official sources had called the election differently even though states hadn’t even certified their vote results, and the joint session of congress to certify the Electoral College Votes hadn’t occurred. This warning label started being applied to the tweets of anyone who questioned that Joe Biden was the actual President-Elect.
It must also be noted, that this was not the first time Twitter had labeled President Trump’s tweets as false information. It must also be noted that people with conservative viewpoints were experiencing account bans, lower public visibility, and strange losses of followers that couldn’t be explained at a far higher rate than their liberal peers, and that this had started slowly just before the 2016 election and was rapidly increasing. Additionally, Google had been found in 2016 to be manipulating search results so that conservative news sites were showing up more slowly, if even at all, and that this practice was still in effect in 2020. It seemed all too apparent that Big Tech, consisting of companies like Google, Microsoft, and Apple, were trying to silence and even in some cases targeting conservatives but not liberals.
So it can accurately be said that President Trump’s first four years in office have been eventful, tumultuous, and incredible. This doesn’t even take into account the riots that occurred in May of 2019 following the death of a criminal named George Floyd that lasted for months, spanned the country, destroyed small businesses (at the same time of the COVID-19 ”pandemic” mind you,) and put Black Lives Matter and Antifa in the spotlight. I don’t want to talk about that at this present time, but I will say that both groups are reprehensible.
December 31st, 2020 finally happened after the world’s longest year finally ended, and finally it was now January of 2021. The results of the Presidential Election are still undecided, and Seventy five million or more Americans were pissed off because they knew that Joe Biden was about to be fraudulently declared the winner of the election. The Electoral Votes were to be certified on January 6th, 2020. A huge protest was organized in Washington D.C. for that same day, and President Trump addressed his demonstrators before Congress even convened for their task. Americans were desperately hoping that Mike Pence would throw out the disputed states’ votes, or that with the evidence presented by those who planned to object to the certification that Congress would vote not to certify the Electoral Votes for those states. Sadly, the American citizens did not get to see their wish granted.
President Trump was late speaking on January 6th, and therefore ended his speech late. In the meantime, word had been circulating on social media for several days prior that Antifa members were going to infiltrate the protest dressed as Trump supporters, and I believe they did. Video has circulated around social media sites showing police officers opening doors and barricades, allowing protestors to enter the Capitol building where Congress was now in session. The event was described by the media as protestors storming the building and rioting inside, with a protestor being “shot in the throat by police.” There is currently conjecture that the shooting was staged as a false flag and that the girl who was shot didn’t actually die as reported. The event was over in less than an hour, but the liberal left and the media jumped in the chance to denounce the “rioters” and their “violence” and accused President Trump of “inciting violence.” President Trump had actually posted a video on Twitter telling people to go home and leave in peace, which Twitter promptly removed. The next two days were filled with condemnation of the events on the 6th, and “righteous” condemnation of President Trump. Twitter gave President Trump a warning when the video asking people to leave in peace was posted, citing concern that three of his tweets were inflammatory and banned his account for 12 hours on January 7th. Hours after giving access back to his account on January 8th, Twitter permanently banned President Trump’s account.
President Trump did nothing wrong, and banning his Twitter account was certainly not warranted. It is even further reprehensible that the President of the United States was silenced and removed from the platforms he used to communicate with the American people in the absence of reliable news outlets. Now that the line has been crossed there is nothing stopping social media companies and Big Tech from silencing us regular citizens, and censoring our speech. The U.S.A. is no longer a free republic; it is now a communist state.
