Twitter on Friday escalated its war on President Trump by placing a “public interest notice” on one of his tweets.

The social media giant said a tweet by Trump that read “When the looting starts, the shooting starts” violated its policies pertaining to “the glorification of violence.”

“We’ve taken action in the interest of preventing others from being inspired to commit violent acts,” the company said in a statement posted on its platform.

Twitter did not remove the post, it said, because “it is important that the public still be able to see the Tweet given its relevance to ongoing matters of public importance.”

There were certain restrictions placed on the tweet so that it could not receive likes, replies or retweets. A message preceding the tweet explains that it broke the policy.

Trump’s tweet was paired with another that addressed the destructive protests over the death of George Floyd in Minneapolis.

“I can’t stand back & watch this happen to a great American City, Minneapolis. Either the very weak Radical Left Mayor, Jacob Frey, get his act together and bring the City under control, or I will send in the National Guard & get the job done right.”

The president followed with an attack on the protesters and a threat to take military action.

“These THUGS are dishonoring the memory of George Floyd, and I won’t let that happen,”

“Just spoke to Governor Tim Walz and told him that the Military is with him all the way. Any difficulty and we will assume control but, when the looting starts, the shooting starts. Thank you!”
