Do us all a favor, Twitter. Suspend the President's account!

A year ago, a pair of toddlers met on a New York sidewalk, and embraced. The besties became viral stars, and their meeting was captured on Inside Edition, among other places....



So adorable, isn't it? Well, of course. Unfortunately, a certain 70-something with a massive persecution complex decided to do something about it, and it got him in trouble with Twitter again.

Yep, America's Oldest Baby is at it again. Donald Trump retweeted an edited video that suggested the boys were chasing each other. However, President Pinocchio used it to try to gain sympathy from his voter base.

Twitter took action, flagging the fake video as "manipulated media". Logan Cook, aka Carpe Donktum, our Weasel of The Week, made the video knowing it'd get the President's attention, which it did. Unfortunately, Trump is taking another bullet from Twitter, which should also locate the originator of the fake video, and penalize him, too.

In Trump's case, since Twitter is his favorite form of communication, the time has long since come, regardless of his standing as a public figure, to suspend his account for abusing his privileges like this. Of course, we know how he'd react to that.....

Update, 7:24 pm (ET): Facebook & Twitter have both deleted the Trump post of Cook's mock-up. Cook had previously produced some other unfunny memes on behalf of Trump.
