I was just listening to Gary and Shannon on KFI AM 640.
Even after four years, they still don't get @realDonaldTrump .
Their consensus is that he has no authority to force Twitter to stop "fact checking" only conservatives.
WRONG.

WRONG.
They had a "Washington reporter" who sounded like she's 11 years old.
She concurred that Trump lacks the authority to force Twitter to stop unequally applying their "fact check" system.

Nobody knows how anything works.
We're in a state of national emergency.
As a result, Trump CAN force Twitter to stop holding HIM to one standard while hold the press to another.

Twitter is regulated by the FCC.
In a national state of emergency, Trump can SHUT DOWN any FCC-regulated platform.
It's the law.

Trump could order the FCC to shut down Twitter because Twitter has stepped DIRECTLY stepped into the national emergency and has chosen sides.
When you "fact check" the president but NOT the networks spreading communist Chinese propaganda, you get to be shut down.

Forcing Twitter to treat USERS the same is a lot more nebulous. Congress has to get involved, and it's simply much harder to prove that we have a right to use a private company's services.
But Twitter decided to interfere in THE PRESIDENT'S communications.

Remember:
Twitter never interfered in the DEMOCRATS' communications when they were spread lies about Russian collusion, Ukrainian quid pro quo, and so on.
For Twitter to suddenly "fact check" the president's OPINION is clearly grounds for Trump to shut them down.

Trump has 136 new powers granted to him by the state of national emergency.
We're one step beneath a state of war.
TRUMP HAS NOT ABUSED HIS NEW POWERS.
But Twitter is abusing ITS power by getting directly involved in the current national state of emergency.

YOU BET that Trump has the right to order Twitter to STOP "fact checking" him.
And Twitter will.
Trump has the STATUTORY authority to tell Twitter to knock it off or get shut down.
Twitter will blink.

This is what happens when people choose ignorance.
They get blindsided by reality.
And reality is a HARD taskmaster.
