Twitter on Saturday temporarily blocked users from ‘liking’ or replying to tweets made by President Trump, who spent much of the morning on a tirade against the US Supreme Court, Attorney General Bill Barr, and “RINO” (Republican-in-name-only) governors of Georgia and Arizona.
Twitter is now preventing users from liking and replying to some of President Trump’s Tweets.

The first Trump tweet censored by Twitter claimed the “people of the United States were cheated, and our Country is disgraced,” following the Supreme Court’s rejection of Texas’s bid to overturn the election results in four states.
“Justices Alito and Thomas say they would have allowed Texas to proceed with its election lawsuit.” @seanhannity This is a great and disgraceful miscarriage of justice. The people of the United States were cheated, and our Country disgraced. Never even given our day in Court!

Trump continued throughout the morning, calling the election a “disgrace” and asking “Who is a worse governor, @BrianKempGA of Georgia or @dougducey of Arizona??? These are two RINO Republicans who fought against me and the Republican Party harder than any Democrat. They allowed states that I won easily to be stolen. Never forget, vote them out of office!”
I WON THE ELECTION IN A LANDSLIDE, but remember, I only think in terms of legal votes, not all of the fake voters and fraud that miraculously floated in from everywhere! What a disgrace!

Later, Trump noted: “IF Biden gets in, nothing will happen to Hunter or Joe. Barr will do nothing, and the new group of partisan killers coming in will quickly kill it all. Same thing with Durham,” adding “We caught them cold, spying, treason & more (the hard part), but “Justice” took too long. Will be DOA!”

Trump also attacked the Supreme Court again, tweeting that they had “ZERO interest in the merits of the greatest voter fraud ever perpetrated on the United States of America.”
The Supreme Court had ZERO interest in the merits of the greatest voter fraud ever perpetrated on the United States of America. All they were interested in is “standing”, which makes it very difficult for the President to present a case on the merits. 75,000,000 votes!

After several hours,Twitter appeared to have reversed course, allowing users to interact with Trump’s tweets.
