It's flag day again for President Donald Trump.
Twitter flagged a tweet on the president's feed for violating its policy against "abusive behavior."
"We've placed a public interest notice on this Tweet for violating our policy against abusive behavior, specifically, the presence of a threat of harm against an identifiable group," the label reads.
The reprimand followed a threat from the president to take a hard-line approach with civil rights demonstrators in Washington, D.C.
"There will never be an 'Autonomous Zone' in Washington, D.C., as long as I'm your President," Trump vowed Tuesday morning. "If they try they will be met with serious force!"
He was referring to a part of Seattle where demonstrators set up an encampment that is self-regulated following the death of a black Minneapolis man in police custody May 25.
The president and his social media platform of choice have been at odds in recent weeks. Twitter flagged a May 26 tweet from Trump claiming without evidence that the governor of California was randomly issuing mail-in ballots to millions of people to thwart the president's chances of being reelected in November.
Trump lashed out at Twitter for "completely stifling free speech" and vowed to use his power as president to counter the tech giant's rebuke.
That same day, the president insinuated with no evidence that TV host Joe Scarborough may have been involved in the murder of a former colleague, who died of natural causes. A request from that woman's husband to have the tweet removed was denied.
On May 29, Twitter placed "a public interest notice" on a Trump tweet in which he stated "when the looting starts, the shooting starts" with regards to protesters in Minneapolis.
The president is coming off a rough weekend in Tulsa, Oklahoma, where his return to the campaign trail was met with a fraction the number of supporters he had boasted would show up amid the pandemic.
Despite warnings on Twitter that "protesters, anarchists, agitators, looters or lowlifes" at that event would not be treated as kindly as they had been in "New York, Seattle and Minneapolis," Trump's campaign manager blamed the evening's low attendance on "radical protesters" and the media.
