Twitter continues to sanction Donald Trump.

The latter is accused of having again violated the rules on the dissemination of fake news by declaring this Sunday in a tweet that he was now immune to the coronavirus.

"I received full approval from doctors at the White House yesterday," wrote the US president on Twitter.

It means I can't catch it (immune) and I can't give it away.

It's good to know !!"

Several cases of recurrence and reinfection having already been identified around the world, it is not possible to speak of immunity against Covid-19.

Twitter therefore felt that the president had not followed its rules regarding the sharing of false information about the virus.

A total and complete sign off from White House Doctors yesterday.

That means I can't get it (immune), and can't give it.

Very nice to know !!!

In the public interest to leave Trump's tweet online

Donald Trump's tweet was not deleted, however.

The social network felt that it might be in the public interest to leave him online.

Internet users cannot, however, share, retweet or reply to it.

Donald Trump is not his first sanction by Twitter.

The president is regularly called to order by the social network.

Two videos relaying fake news on the coronavirus, shared on his account, have already been deleted.

Other publications inciting violence or relaying false information on subjects other than Covid-19 have also been deleted in the past.
