President Trump on Friday accused double standards of supporting Democrats after Facebook and Twitter took action against his latest posts.
“Democrats do advertising that is completely fake,” Trump tweeted. “They have been doing nothing for years, including when Sleepy Joe was a V.P., and they now have fake advertisements that my China Deal lost my job for us. Across, & China paid us $ BILLION. Also, I LOVE the Elderly & protect existing C’s. “
In the second tweet, he wrote: “Why are Democrats allowed to make fake and fraudulent advertisements. They must be called.”
It was not immediately clear which ads Trump quoted from Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden.
Trump calls social networks after Facebook removes ads from his campaign using the red triangle as a work of art in addition to a warning about “Dangerous MOBS from the far left group” and after Twitter add “manipulated media” warning for a parody video he tweeted attacking CNN’s coverage of race relations.
Facebook ads have drawn criticism because the Nazis used the red triangle to identify left-wing political prisoners in concentration camps. The Associated Press reports the red triangle is sometimes used by Antifa activists to identify themselves, similar to the use of the pink triangle of gay rights activists.
Facebook said on Thursday that social networking “prohibits the use of hate group symbols which are forbidden to identify political prisoners without a context that condemns or discusses these symbols.”
The Trump video tweeted mocking CNN by depicting a white baby running after a black baby, which, in its context, shows two toddlers playing together. “Headline: Frightened toddlers run from racist babies,” said a description. The video ends with the message: “America is not the problem. Fake news is. “
Facebook previously blocked Trump’s ads in March that described digital surveys as a Census. Last month, Twitter added its first fact check label to Trump’s tweet afterwards he wrote ballots can cause widespread fraud.
The Trump campaign did not immediately respond to requests for comment by the Post, neither did the White House.
