        Replying to @mercnews

        In what way was it vague? Does he have to tell the exact time he is going to push the button for it to be specific enough for them? This is clearly an excuse to not take action against someone who is in clear violation of the rules merely because @jack makes money off him.

        How is "the President of the world's greatest largest superpower threatening nuclear war exclusively via this platform" not the absolute conceivable upper maximum of "threatens violence or harm against others"?

        If Trump tweeted, "I will stab Kim Jong Un," surely that would be a TOS violation? So how is threatening nuclear genocide LESS severe than that? Because it's "more vague"??? Because it's an existential threat so overwhelming it's hard to even fathom its impact on an individual?

        Specifies and insults a leader of another country. Insults the country. Specifically mentions weapons of mass destruction and how they will be used. But yeah, it's vague. No, it's not vague.

        Oh, and @jack, @twitter. I myself have reported this sort of tweet, with all the 'hints' given by the person I reported. And you blocked their account for violation of terms of service. Please look at the tweet again and reconsider. If he wasn't President, would it be different?
