A brand new Twitter tag on Trump’s recent incredibly deceptive post is known to everyone: “Election officials have certified Joe Biden as the winner of the U.S. Presidential election.” Indeed, based on Trump’s tweets, Twitter is already announcing this election for Joe Biden.
Twitter informs us that it is merely an upgrade to its current mark, intended to reflect the latest data.
But there is a surprising contrast between this label and the previous one on Twitter, which clearly said that this election was called differently by several sources which left space for doubt. Now that Twitter has voted for the Electoral College, it not only acknowledges the results but uses it to visibly challenge the president’s continued lie that he won the election.
Will this deter Trump from tweeting “I won” repeatedly? Doubtful, but if his tweets get a bit more innovative, if he vents more frustration on Twitter or both, anyone wouldn’t be surprised. In Trump’s own tweets, Twitter officially announces Biden the winner of the US election
