He's not exactly the only one to 'worry' about on Twitter. Here you have the Supreme leader of Iran who 'actually' posted a tweet as a call to violence to 'destroy' another country via a tweet. [0]

If Trump tweeted just that or something similar, it would have been removed instantly. But this one and others from the supreme leader of Iran are still publicly available for all to see.

But nothing violent here or anything to worry about I guess?

There's pretty reasonable odds that Trump literally murdered Solemani because Soleimani was constantly owning him on Twitter (or more accurately, that Trump said yes to the same set of belligerent Iran war hawks he normally says no to because he recognized the name from Twitter.)


Trump threatening to destroy Iranian cultural sites and sites important to the country itself, not just destroy a regime:

Exactly. Both tweets should be flagged for glorifying violence and threatening behaviour which is against Twitter's ToS. [0]

But it seems the 'rules' are enforced more on one person over another. You probably can guess why that is.

Downvoters: So these tweets are not signs of threatening behaviour and shouldn't be flagged or don't violate Twitter's ToS? Explain your case.

there isn't a tweet you can send that will start a war unless the administration sending it is willing to confirm that is indeed a move they're making. you think diplomats are idiots.

that tweet threat isn't even an immediate threat.
