Twitter is doubling down on its social media feud with President Trump by removing a photograph he posted, claiming it violated the company's copyright policy.

Late Tuesday, the social media giant removed a picture in a tweet sent by the president that read, "In reality they're not after me, they're after you. I'm just in the way." Spokespeople from the New York Times and Twitter confirmed the tweet in question was removed because of a Digital Millennium Copyright Act complaint.

"Media not displayed," a message says where the photograph once was. "This image has been removed in response to a report from the copyright holder."

If Trump wins a second term, one of his first acts should be to announce on Twitter that he's moving to Parler.

This should fall under fair use, since it is transformed to something new.

Social media will reap the whirlwind in January 2021.

And just like the little snowflake from Harvard who threatened to stab her opponents, they will not understand why.

So take a pic of Trump and repost.

Let’s see what else they come up with to censor.

The photographer (NYTimes copyrighted the actual picture of Trump) Apparently someone made a meme from his picture.

This is ridiculous.

All the people that love to call Trump petty, etc but this is way worse than anything he has tweeted

They opened it a LONG time ago. I'm amazed Trump has sat back for the last four years and let this happen

How is using a photo of yourself a copyright violation exactly?

Would the NYT have preferred to have been listed in the credits? God they’re a bunch of insufferable morons

Stuff like this will ultimately pull more people in the middle to trump. Media censorship of the GEOTUS only makes people on the far left happy. Not a great way to win the middle. All it does is remind his base why November is so important

The photographer owns the copyright. It's petty for sure, but he can do it. So, get another picture made, maybe of Trump in the Oval Office or in front of the flag and do it again. F the photographer.

No one in the middle is paying attention to every time social media slaps Trump on the wrist.
