when will trump have more meetings & phone calls with sovereign leaders

With how they've gone so far and with what we know of trump's personality, probably never

Note how many diplomatic meetings hes had after Trudeau-Handshake-gate followed by the media reporting that world leaders were being briefed on how to handle his babyhands power play...

Going back on the correspondence dinner thing, who wants to bet trump ran for president just because of that time Obama made fun of him at one and he was worried about getting flashbacks like a kid who has flashbacks of getting swirlied in school every time they see a toilet.

And aside from that he's broken some twitter rules depending on interpretation

You can't use twitter for illegal stuff, and him deleting tweets violates the presidential records act

Can't post hate speech, which he's done a few times

Can't harass people, which he does to any company that he comes into direct contact with (corporations are people) especially newsmedia organizations

Can't incite violence or abuse, this one's up for debate I guess, his actions have this consequence but I'm sure he'd argue it was unintentional and the bad apples are all liberals anyway

yeah just gonna second the post saying "they're a powerful private corp, they can do anything".

banning trump may cause a temporary drop in stock price and bunch of fat right wingers to hobble off the site, that's it. but it's too high a risk (non zero), and his crap is keeping twitter up at the moment.

I can see it both ways. I'm just kind of curious what he'd do if he got banned.

But yeah, for now his tweets have been mostly just distasteful and stupid and funny but nothing really actionable. We dipped our snoots into some fresh lols when a court used his tweets as evidence against him for the travel ban, just imagine what it'll be like as his presidency wears on and on, with him getting more old and tired and frustrated and senile

Currently a lot of people are gathering various pieces of evidence for various lawsuits, we cant even conceive of the lols to be had when a sitting president is tweeting stuff from confidential depositions and hearings

Double lol with an lmbo finish because Republicans couldn't imagine just how unlikeable and buffoonish trump ended up being as president, to the point that at least some portion of them are under siege by their own Republican constituents at their own town hall meetings

Rofl that more than one R politician will lose their job as a result of this. It won't be the clean sweep we'd like, but at least it's something

Twitter has never been and will never be profitable. Even with all the user data mining, they still can't make money. In fact they have lost $2B in the last 5 years and are losing users as well. That's why no one is interested in buying.

I really hope the company folds when the tech bubble pops. Twitter has been used for the occasional good, but in general it's a platform used mostly for trolling. And I guess Trump is king troll.
