Trump Sues Twitter and Facebook For Banning Him

Donald Trump has filed lawsuits against Facebook and Twitter for banning him (and allegedly other conservatives) from their platforms following the Capitol Riot. This is a lawsuit that has absolutely no chance of being successful, and it also undermines all of the other conservative social media apps that have come along since Trump's banishment. Farron Cousins explains what's happening.

Former president Donald Trump has announced that he wants to Sue both Facebook and Twitter CEOs, mark Zuckerberg, and Jack Dorsey, respectively

For banning him from their social media platforms. Trump is so angry that he cannot get

On Twitter, that he cannot get on Facebook, that he wants to file a class action lawsuit against these two CEOs in order to, I guess, get himself back on the platform. However, uh, as I mentioned, these would be class action lawsuits, which means they would actually be seeking financial damages. So Trump must think that somehow he has financial damages for not being allowed access to somebody else's intellectual property, somebody else's business here in the United States. Trump thinks that he is entitled to financial compensation because he can't use their

Platform. Now I think we

All pretty much know that this case is going nowhere. If it even officially gets filed. Um, if it is, you know, if it moves forward beyond a couple of weeks,

Whenever it's going nowhere, this

Is possibly one of the dumbest things I've

Ever heard. And honestly, that's the point for Trump.

This is a legal case that was specifically designed to fail because once it fails, Donald Trump gets even more sympathy. He gets to go to his base once again and play the victim.

That's the whole point of this. So even though his base

Thinks he is like the manliest of manly men to ever live, they also love when he plays the victim, because it shows just how persecuted he is. And then Trump gets to, gets to sit up there on his cross and say, look, I have yet again, been crucified. Jesus didn't even have it as bad as me and his base. He'd sit up. They

Love it. And that is the point of all of this because no, you do

Not have a right to get on Twitter. I'm sorry, but you don't, you do not have a right to access Facebook. That is somebody else's private business. It is somebody else's intellectual property. You are not in any way, legally entitled to it here in the United States. And by the way, you can thank Republicans for making that even possible. Now here's the other thing that I don't think Trump is thinking about. He's making a big stink about, oh, I can't get on Twitter. I can't get on Facebook. I can't get on the gourd social media outlets. And when I say good, I just mean that everybody's there. Not in, not in any way, implying that they're good companies.

They're not. However,

We just had one of his buddies, uh, Jason Miller, I think it was launch a new conservative, uh, Twitter alternative this past weekend called getter. His good friend, Mike Lindell has his thrill, Frank media outlet. Then of course there's parlor that actually came out before Donald Trump got banned from Twitter and Facebook.

However, how horrible

Do those people have to feel

Knowing that will crap. If Trump gets back on Twitter or Facebook, like we're toast, nobody

Has any reason to go to us at all. Not that they have a reason to go there now, but yeah. So that's going to be pretty awful for those social media outlets. If Trump does end up winning this lawsuit somehow because yeah, that would effectively kill them.

But either way, Trump knows

What he's doing. He's playing to the base. He wants to be the victim and by God, they're going to let him do it.
