Sources that cannot be verified should always be ignored. Since adults must know / confirm facts long before concluding anything. Adults, who are still children, quickly believe anything on social media (or Fake Fox News) that enthralls their emotions. Since emotions are enough to make conclusions.

Social media is how the naive get deceived. Finally Twitter has decided that some Trump lies are so flagrant as to be noted. So Trump immediately threatened revenge. Since Trump needs social media lies to promote himself.
