2. Social media is central to Trump's reelection strategy. He made the guy in charge of his 2016 social media strategy,
@parscale, his 2020 campaign manager. Trump is spending 500K per week on Facebook and Google and he doesn't even have an opponent yet.101 replies 2,018 retweets 5,534 likesShow this thread -
3. Trump's strategy on social media, particularly Facebook, involves him breaking all of the platform rules. They bragged about this last time -- suppressing African-American votes with fake information This time they started targeting seniors w/fake promises about the border

5. This is what is unacceptable to Trump. He needs to be a VICTIM of Facebook censorship so that it's IMPOSSIBLE for Facebook to enforce their own rules

6. So Trump took a routine announcement by Facebook it was permanently banning several accounts that traffic in racism and conspiracy theories and made it a HUGE DEAL. It makes him the victim again.

7. Trump's goal is to make Facebook's rules UNENFORCEABLE. In Trump's mind there is no difference between NBC and InfoWars and if Facebook tries to create one its CENSORSHIP. That's the political space he needs to operate.https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1124653429366906882 …

8. The problem is that the media is complicit. There is almost no coverage of how Trump is spending money online I'm filling in the gap w/my newsletter, Popular Information. I spend hours reviewing the Trump's social media ads You can subscribe at http://popular.info
