Here’s my thoughts upon reading the tweets, well before Twitter made their move (around 10am CST):

[Snapchat did suspend his account,](https://thehill.com/policy/technology/533204-trump-suspended-indefinitely-from-snapchat) as did [Twitch](https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2021-01-07/amazon-s-twitch-streaming-service-disables-trump-s-channel). Don’t think he had a TikTok account (those evil Chinese, you know), but [they did say they’d remove videos of him inciting violence](https://www.engadget.com/tiktok-ban-trump-044348829.html).

As you answered yourself:

> I guess one interpretation would be: “I won’t be going to the inauguration…so if anybody wants to bomb it don’t worry about me.”

Exactly, and it’s being interpreted precisely this way on right-wing social media. As Twitter said, the “context” of how people are reacting to Trump’s tweets played a crucial role in the decision to ban him.

There really isn’t any limit to what people who’ve been told ‘_liberty is on the line and we must stop the devil’s work_’ (etc.) will be willing to do. Get a few hundred small planes in the air, for example, and the Air Force won’t be able to shoot them all down as they enter restricted air space. You need only one, with one big bomb.

‘Trump won’t be there’ is _already_ generating plans for destruction and mass murder. That’s an absolute certainty.

Well, maybe he has to resort to little scribbled notes, like at school, he throws out of the oval office windows.

(does the oval office have windows? I really don’t know. Maybe he has to throw the notes in the trash bin. Or at his lackeys, the few who are left.)

I guess he could post his grievances on WH dot gov. He loved ranting on Twitter and having millions of followers feed his ego. He must be so pissed off.

Yes, the [Oval Office has windows](https://www.townandcountrymag.com/society/politics/g12090469/oval-office-pictures-through-the-years/). Maybe paper airplanes - we used to do those in school, throw them at each other when the teacher wasn’t watching.

Hey, if it’s legit official government business they can push it out the WH Press Office account and it will be promptly relayed by all responsible media. If it’s harebrained nonsense it will be relayed by OANN.
