Twenty-four hours after Twitter fact-checked his tweets, President Trump moves on to sign the Executive Order on social media.
Just the day after Twitter placed a fact checkmark on President Trump’s vote-by-mail tweets calling them “potentially misleading”, the White House made it clear that it will respond with some sort of measures and that “some big action is coming”.
Trump tweeted last night that Twitter “is now interfering in the 2020 Presidential Election. They are saying my statement on Mail-In Ballots, which will lead to massive corruption and fraud, is incorrect, based on fact-checking by Fake News CNN and the Amazon Washington Post…. and “stifling FREE SPEECH.”
“I, as President, will not allow it to happen!”, he added.

On Wednesday at 6:19 p.m., Kayleigh McEnany said on the AF1 that POTUS is signing an executive order “pertaining to social media” but had no details on what it would do.
McEnany said it was not clear whether he is signing it while on the plane or when he gets back to the White House. She indicated that it would be released at some point this evening.
According to the latest update, the social media executive order will be signed tomorrow not tonight, per Alyssa Farah.
