Guess Donald doesn't really support free speech. He wants access to platforms suppressed around the world.

Donald Trump has praised Nigeria for banning “evil” Twitter and encouraged other countries to do the same in the name of “free and open speech.” Trump, who himself was banned by the platform for incendiary rhetoric, issued a statement reviving his old grievances after the platform banned Nigeria’s president. Earlier this week Nigerian officials warned its citizens that they may face jail time if they get caught tweeting. “More COUNTRIES should ban Twitter and Facebook for not allowing free and open speech—all voices should be heard. Who are they to dictate good when they themselves are evil?” Trump said in a statement. “Perhaps I should have done it while I was president.” Trump also appeared to confuse Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg with Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey. “Zuckerberg kept calling me and coming to the White House for dinner telling me how great I was. 2024?” he wrote. The praise comes after it was announced earlier this month that Trump’s Facebook and Instagram would remain banned until early 2023.

By your secret definitions of cancel culture, who's right?

Twitter, for canceling Trump?
Or Trump, for trying to cancel Twitter?

Or do we get to admit your cancel culture is bullshit;
and that twitter, a private company, can ban anyone--just as any brick and mortar can.
AND Trump can speak out against twitter, if he chooses.

Which is it ... this time?
Twitter right, Trump right,
or Cancel culture is simply the tears of snowflakes--and doesn't ever apply in real life, since people have boycotted, and spoke out against things and people, for eons ... as is their right in free nations.

TRUMP WANTED THE MILITARY TO SHOOT AND KILL RACIAL-JUSTICE PROTESTERS
book by Wall Street Journal reporter Michael Bender titled Frankly, We Did Win This Election: The Inside Story of How Trump Lost. Per CNN:

The book reveals new details about how Trump’s language became increasingly violent during Oval Office meetings as protests in Seattle and Portland began to receive attention from cable new outlets. The President would highlight videos that showed law enforcement getting physical with protesters and tell his administration he wanted to see more of that behavior, the excerpts show. “That’s how you’re supposed to handle these people,” Trump told his top law enforcement and military officials, according to Bender. “Crack their skulls!” Trump also told his team that he wanted the military to go in and “beat the f--k out” of the civil rights protesters, Bender writes. “Just shoot them,” Trump said on multiple occasions inside the Oval Office, according to the excerpts.


According to Bender, when Joint Chiefs Chairman General Mark Milley and then Attorney General Bill Barr explained to Trump that they couldn’t “just shoot” people, the president came up with an alternative suggestion. “Well, shoot them in the leg—or maybe the foot,” Trump reportedly said. “But be hard on them!” (CNN reached out to Trump about the claims in Bender’s book.)

Bender also reports that Milley and former Defense Secretary Mark Esper were concerned that Trump would invoke the Insurrection Act over the protests, which he threatened to do.
Obviously, such a move would have been wildly out of proportion with what was actually going on, a point Milley apparently tried to stress to Trump using visual aids.

Milley spotted President Abraham Lincoln’s portrait hanging just to the right of Trump and pointed directly at it, Bender writes.

“That guy had an insurrection,” Milley told Trump. “What we have, Mr. President, is a protest.”
