Twitter hid a tweet from President Donald Trump, accusing him of breaking its rules by ‘glorifying violence’
“Looting leads to shooting ... I don’t want this to happen, and that’s what the expression put out last night means,” Trump said on Twitter, hours after the social network for the first time slapped a warning on one of his Tweets for “glorifying violence.”

Trump issued his tweet amid days of turmoil in Minneapolis, which was engulfed in a third night of arson, looting and vandalism as protesters vented their rage over Floyd’s death. Floyd’s death was one of several recent killings of black people in the United States that has provoked outrage. The Minneapolis night sky was lit up with flame from a police precinct that had been torched overnight.
