Current US president Donald Trump’s Twitter timeline is a stream of tweets flagged by the social network for disputed claims over the US election results.

According to a Twitter spokesperson, Twitter has been flagging Trump’s tweets for “potentially misleading claims about the election”.

The social media platform has also said that Trump will lose his special protections once he is no longer US president on January 20, meaning he will be subject to the same rules as other Twitter users.

“This policy framework applies to current world leaders and candidates for office, and not private citizens when they no longer hold these positions,” Twitter said in a statement.

The tequila, made by Nosotros Tequila, in Southern California, is sold in a lightning-shaped bottle.
