shut down twitter if legal

President Trump says he would shut down Twitter if he could.

Asked HOW, he says "I'd have to ask the lawyers…If it were legal, if it were able to be legally shut down, I would do it."

But he's not planning to delete his account so he can "refute fake news"

Trump was warned about Coronavirus in January and February and yet he waited 70 days to take action.
