Donald Trump Called Out On ‘Law And Order’ After Twitter Disables Video Over Copyright Infringement

Donald Trump had one of his campaign messages used against him today. Many users called out the president after he posted a video to Twitter that the social media platform disabled due to copyright infringement.

CNN’s chief media correspondent, Brian Stelter, was among those who pointed out that Trump’s alleged actions went against his message of keeping things orderly and encouraging citizens to follow laws in the United States. Stelter tweeted a screenshot of the clip that Trump had shared and included a pointed message.

“This is getting to be a pretty common occurrence: Trump posts disabled due to copyright infringement claims. This time? A campaign video using a Linkin Park song. Law and order prez…” wrote the journalist.

The comment was made because Trump has a habit of tweeting “LAW AND ORDER” at random times. He does it often, and it appears to be among his slogans for the 2020 presidential election. He even posted a picture of himself beside an American flag with the phrase written on it on his Instagram account.

Many other accounts replied to the CNN host and agreed that Trump seemed to have a blind spot when it came to following the rules himself.

“The proclaimed president of LAW and Order is violating the Law,” wrote another user.

“His is the only account that doesn’t get suspended for numerous violations of Twitter’s policy,” another account noted.

Some of those who replied also said that it seems like Trump does not care much about following laws as it applies to him. Instead, they felt he seemed concerned about the concept only as it applies to others.

A few users defended Trump, and they said that it seemed like the social media giant was working to censor him, and others thought that it didn’t seem fair that the clip got restricted.

“I have lots of YouTube videos with copyright claims. Not exactly a high crime there, chief,” downplayed one user.

The New York Post reported that the video portrayed the incumbent in the upcoming election as the ultimate outsider. It wasn’t created by his campaign, though. Instead, a supporter created the clip and set it to Linkin Park’s “In the End,” causing the band to briefly trend on Twitter.

The scenes showed former Vice President Joe Biden, Trump’s presumed opponent, as a Washington, D.C., insider, and painted Trump as a newcomer who wrestled power away from those in government and returned it to the people of the United States.
