Trump Suspended from YouTube and Other Platforms
Mr. Trump has now been either suspended or banned from major social media platforms until at least the Biden administration takes office on January 20. Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram have all followed the same path as YouTube on Donald Trump. Other social media platforms that have taken similar measures include Amazon‘s Twitch, Snapchat, Shopify, Pinterest, TikTok, and Reddit.
Mr. Trump is now a president under siege in his own country with only a week in office left. Interestingly, there is a possibility of his impeachment based on his unstable actions. Previously, Vice President Mike Pence, who was involved in the certification of Biden’s election, was under pressure to remove the president through the 25th Amendment. However, Pence’s office released a letter to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi discarding the notion.
“With just eight days left in the President’s term, you and the Democratic caucus are demanding that the Cabinet and I invoke the 25th Amendment. I do not believe that such a course of action is in the best interest of our nation or consistent with our Constitution,” Pence wrote.
