Trump taxes



Twitter added fact checks to two of President Trump's tweets regarding mail-in ballots. A small blue link at the bottom of the tweet encourages users to "Get the facts about mail-in ballots."

This is not a violation of free speech. For one, the president's tweets are still visible. Additionally, free speech is a concept passed from government to citizen, not the other way around.
