President Donald Trump to issue social media executive order after Twitter fact checks his tweets

President Donald Trump will unveil an executive order Thursday targeting social media giants after Twitter added a fact-check warning to his tweets.

President Donald Trump delivers remarks during a press briefing with members of the White House Coronavirus Task Force on April 18, 2020, in Washington, D.C. Trump is facing scrutiny over a series of tweets calling for state residents to 'liberate' themselves from strict 'stay-at-home' orders.

Trump declined to answer reporters' questions about his plans after he returned to the White House following a trip to Florida on Wednesday. However, he expressed his frustration—on Twitter no less—about the messaging platform. One of Trump's supporters, U.S. Senator Josh Hawley sent a letter to Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey on Wednesday questioning the platform's"unprecedented decision to single out the President for disfavor, based on his political speech."
