Eric Trump Whines About Twitter Censoring His Father After Trump Falsely Claimed Victory In The Middle Of The Night And Claimed Democrats Are Stealing The Election

STFU.

At nearly 1:00 in the morning, Donald Trump unleashed a tweet to suggest that votes cannot be cast after the polls have closed. The problem with that is that ballots are still being counted that have already been cast. Trump said that Democrats are trying to “STEAL the Election” by counting votes. The president also falsely claimed victory last night. The president does not decide the election, though — the voters do.

Trump’s tweet was so egregiously false that Twitter labeled it as “misleading about an election.” So, of course, Eric Trump took a screen capture of his father’s tweet and posted it while claiming that Twitter is “censoring” the president. That word doesn’t mean what he thinks it means.

That’s not how elections work, and Twitter users jumped in to address the president’s astoundingly stupid son’s tweet.

All of this:

Trump falsely claiming victory last night was just another attack on our democracy by the president. Votes will be counted. Democratic nominee Joe Biden just pulled ahead in Michigan. My thought is that Biden will prevail, but it shouldn’t be this close. And Trump will continue to sow doubt and discord over the election. Our country is broken.
