When Trump calls unflattering Tweets "illegal" he invokes the ancient prohibition of Lèse-majesté, insulting the monarch. Thailand: "The King shall be enthroned in a position of revered worship and shall not be violated. No person shall expose the King to any sort of accusation."
So disgusting to watch Twitter’s so-called “Trending”, where sooo many trends are about me, and never a good one. They look for anything they can find, make it as bad as possible, and blow it up, trying to make it trend. Really ridiculous, illegal, and, of course, very unfair!
