WP: Twitter users are reporting Trumps account for threatening violence against North Korea

Twitter users want Trump’s account suspended for ‘threatening violence’ against North Korea

August 11

Can a president be suspended from Twitter for threatening to attack another country?

That's what some Twitter users, including actor and former Barack Obama aide Kal Penn, are demanding, after President Trump tweeted Friday morning that U.S. “military solutions are now fully in place, locked and loaded, should North Korea act unwisely.”

Critics of the president's tweet say the rhetoric reflects a threat of violence against North Korea that violates Twitter's rules and terms of service.

either on Chris Hayes or Rachel or Lawrence, trump can be impeached for threatening another country saying he will use nuclear weapons.

He needs to GO.

It causes a lot more damage to him, it's out in the open where everyone can see how batshit crazy he is, and it telegraphs a lot of the things he's trying to do.

It's one of the greatest opposition research tools we have against him!

Please, don't make him stop tweeting...it's like having an open window into the dark heart of his being.
