[*]A Twitter user recently started an account, @SuspendThePres, where he tweets word-for-word what President Donald Trump posts in an "experiment" to see how long it would take Twitter to suspend his account.[/size]

[*]After three days, Twitter said @SuspendThePres violated policies by "glorifying violence," taking action by temporarily suspending its posting privileges and asking the offending tweet be deleted.[/size]

[*]The tweet in question — containing the words "when the looting starts, the shooting starts" — was posted on Trump's account May 29. Twitter did not take down the tweet, but did label it as "glorifying violence."[/size]

Funny what you can't get away with when your name isn't Trump.
