How many voter fraud claims did Trump's voter fraud commission find? And why was it disbanded?
He was fact checked with a non factual response. Both were wrong in their "facts". Twitter and all social media platforms have a political agenda so it's no surprise Trump will use and abuse the platform, pretty much like the platforms do themselves. It's a misinformation battle for lazy minds. IOW, business as usual in the political game.
Nothing but bunch of gaslighting bullshit above
THE FACTS: Voting fraud is rare. Trump’s push for in-person voting in a pandemic, such as in Wisconsin last week, also contradicts the guidance of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and his task force’s social distancing guidelines, which urge Americans to maintain 6 feet (1.8 meters) of separation and avoid crowds of over 10 people.
The CDC specifically recommends states “encourage mail-in methods of voting if allowed in the jurisdiction” given the coronavirus threat. Late last week, the Wisconsin Department of Health Services said it was monitoring the potential spread of the virus during Tuesday’s voting.
It’s true that some election studies have shown a slightly higher incidence of mail-in voting fraud compared with in-person voting, but the overall risk is extremely low. The Brennan Center for Justice said in 2017 the risk of voting fraud is 0.00004% to 0.0009%.
“Trump is simply wrong about mail-in balloting raising a ‘tremendous’ potential for fraud,” Richard L. Hasen, an elections expert at the University of California, Irvine, School of Law, wrote in an op-ed this week. “While certain pockets of the country have seen their share of absentee-ballot scandals, problems are extremely rare in the five states that rely primarily on vote-by-mail, including the heavily Republican state of Utah.”
Trump cast an absentee ballot by mail in last month’s Florida Republican primary.
When asked about that contradiction Tuesday, he told reporters that it was fine “because I’m allowed to” vote by mail and that he didn’t expect to get to Florida.
A commission Trump convened after the 2016 election to investigate potential voting fraud disbanded without producing any findings.

So long as this is okay then there aren't any social media rules worth discussing.

We're talking about what's acceptable on a social media platform regardless of position or notoriety. If a person, any person, can so often openly advocate the killing of the president then there really aren't any rules to be followed, which frankly I'm fine with so long as it's across the board. The amount of misinformation and complete bullshit spewed on social media is astounding and anyone going there for anything other than troll material is wasting their time. It's entertainment and a propaganda tool, nothing else. Let the free market decide who they listen to.
Donald's our employee, his time & the tax payer money should not be used as a campaign tool, be it on twitter or elsewhere. Dude's not hired to exercise his 1st amendment right to spread conspiracy theories.
