He's literally lying at this point and putting the democratic system of the US in jeopardy by saying he "won by a lot". Terminate his account. He doesn't have a right to post dangerous falsehoods on a third-party platform.

That was a true statement for the past 4 years.

I'm wondering if there are any legal implications to the harm he's done, in terms of division and decreasing trust in the democracy.

Every intelligence agency in the US and numerous foreign intelligence agencies substantiated those claims.

Different claim. Interference is not aid.

Aid was disproven, interference was proven.

Russian interfered via hacking emails, leaking them, polarizing voters by advertisement (only worth 100k$ though), and maybe even leaking a fake steele dossier.

But no american has been even indicted of collusion with russia, from what I understand. So trump campaign did not work with russia, even if russia put in efforts that helped trump

It's important to remember that "unproven" and even "disproven" are not equivalent to "unsubstantiated". Otherwise, it would be impossible to make any reasonable criticism of anybody for anything. The Russia question was a criticism that came from something. Trump's various claims come from nothing.

I've seen some claims of voting irregularities that I find credible. But think more local guy decides on his own to do small scale cheating, rather than an organized campaign. And I suspect it's not big enough to matter. For Trump to declare himself winner is certainly reckless.

The Mueller Report documents that Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump meant with Russians multiple times to coordinate political activities during the 2016 campaign.

They weren't indicted because AG Barr, Donald Trump's personal appointee, has refused to indict them.

It is very possible that they could be indicted within the next year.

One administration prosecuting another would be unprecedented and probably embittering, regardless of its value to truth and justice.
Re:Twitter has applied warning labels to 37% of Trump's twee... by gamblor956 on Saturday November 07, 2020 @04:10PM (#25019421)
It would not be one administration prosecuting another, it would be non-partisan prosecutors prosecuting criminals.

Donald Trump attempted to politicize the DOJ, but otherwise it is a non-political entity and has prosecuted Republicans and Democrats alike during previous administrations.

Re:Twitter has applied warning labels to 37% of Trump's twee... by threatofrain on Saturday November 07, 2020 @08:53PM (#25022037)
What Donald Trump demonstrated was that the DOJ and judiciary are structurally partisan even if they were culturally neutral.
Re:Twitter has applied warning labels to 37% of Trump's twee... by omgwtfbyobbq on Saturday November 07, 2020 @01:32PM (#25017195)
Russia's interference in the election still aided Trump's campaign, even if the DOJ was unable to conclusively prove there was any collusion to obtain that aid.
Re:Twitter has applied warning labels to 37% of Trump's twee... by bsg75 on Saturday November 07, 2020 @01:01PM (#25016894)
No, because those concerns were based on investigations.

Trup is simply throwing a tantrum online because he can’t behave like an adult in the face of defeat.

Also based on evidence he knows he is potentially inciting violence, because any concerns are to be addressed in the courts, not on social media.

I’m not on either side. I’m just calling out partisans for their obvious hypocrisy.
Re:Twitter has applied warning labels to 37% of Trump's twee... by _dibly on Saturday November 07, 2020 @12:57PM (#25016851)
Calling out partisans for hypocrisy is commendable, using a weak false equivalence to do it when there isn't any basis for it makes you look mad.
Re:Twitter has applied warning labels to 37% of Trump's twee... by happytoexplain on Saturday November 07, 2020 @01:43PM (#25017347)
I don't think this is hypocrisy - one of the two examples is more justified, realistically speaking, than the other.

Most of these claims are easily debunked.

Wisconsin[1] and Michigan had turnout in the low 70s, not close to 100% as claimed. Turnout was high, but only a few points higher than recent years.

There legitimately are some batches of votes where Biden got close to 100% of the votes due to segregation and mail-in votes being counted separately. The mail-in votes in a predominately black area should be expected to be close to 100% for Biden. It would be suspicious if they weren't.

Consider that Trump won the largest share of non-white voters of any Republican in 60 years, including historic numbers of Latino and African Americans.

Re:Twitter has applied warning labels to 37% of Trump's twee... by gamblor956 on Saturday November 07, 2020 @01:26PM (#25017127)
Yes, registered black male Republicans in conservative states in the South and Midwest voted for Trump at higher numbers.

The parent comment noted that in some heavily black PA districts, there were few/no registered Republicans, and those few that were there presumably voted in person due to the GOP spending months trashtalking mail-in votes.

In-person results were tabulated on Tuesday. Under recent PA law, mail-in ballots couldn't be counted before Tuesday. As Democrats generally vote mail-in in higher numbers, this meant that the mail-in ballots would be overwhelmingly Democratic with few if any Republican ballots.

Per your link, 80% of black men supported Biden. Given that mail in ballots have tended to be in Biden's favor, in large part because Trump asked his supporters to vote in person, I don't think it's a stretch to see almost all mail in ballots from black areas going to Biden.

You’re moving the goalposts all over the place but sure, Trump/Republicans made some inroads with PoC in certain areas (Miami-dade, south Texas) and lost it elsewhere (Arizona) but your own links don’t describe it as “historic”:

> Eighty percent of Black men supported Joe Biden, down slightly from Hilary Clinton’s 82 percent

Dorsey has said that much of what Trump says on the platform is newsworthy, and therefore Twitter allows it. Were they to suspend Trump’s account, it would necessarily be because his Tweets are no longer newsworthy. I can’t see that happening.
Re:Twitter has applied warning labels to 37% of Trump's twee... by mmastrac on Saturday November 07, 2020 @12:31PM (#25016583)
I think once he's no longer president he'll have a very difficult time maintaining a Twitter account in good standing.
