Twitter has a very strong case to delete Trump's account

Does Donald Trump deserve to tweet?

Between the string of Mika Brzezinski insults and that WWE/CNN video, Twitter would have a strong case to delete or suspend the president's account, according to its rules for combating abuse on the platform.

Those recent tweets have quickly become the most controversial messages posted during Trump's young presidency, and there have been increased calls for Twitter to disable the account in accordance with its rules.

For example, Twitter's policy says users "may not make threats of violence or promote violence" either directly or indirectly.

On Sunday, Trump tweeted a video that showed him slamming a person with a CNN logo superimposed over his face to the ground. One interpretation of that would be that Trump is showing his frustration with media outlets he thinks are critical of him. Another interpretation: It's OK to physically attack a journalist.

At best, the CNN tweet is an indirect promotion of violence. At worst, it's direct. Either way, it's a violation of Twitter's policy.

The policy also says users "may not incite or engage in the targeted abuse or harassment of others."

On Thursday, Trump tweeted that Brzezinski "was bleeding badly from a face-lift" when she visited his Florida estate late last year. In another tweet, he called her "dumb as a rock." That sounds a lot like harassment, whether you use the dictionary definition ("to create an unpleasant or hostile situation for especially by uninvited and unwelcome verbal or physical conduct"), the legal definition ("repeated conduct that is not wanted and is known to all parties as offensive"), or Twitter's guidelines.

Here's the full section of Twitter's policy on abuse and harassment:




Honesty is the best policy.
