This Thanksgiving holiday turned out to be a weird one for many reasons. Not only did the pandemic make “gathering” a very bad idea for Americans, but the soon-to-no-longer-be-president threw a Twitter tantrum about “National Security” possibly being threatened by Twitter’s “this claim about election fraud is disputed”-style warnings. And maybe he was complaining about certain unflattering trends. It’s a long story (as with all things this year), but this happened after he addressed reporters from behind a tiny desk, which led to the rise of the #DiaperDon and #TrumpTantrum hashtags. Is this reality? Of course it is, but this whole situation needs some parsing out.

No official statements have surfaced to explain why Trump (or someone on his team) decided that he should address the press from behind a child-sized piece of furniture, but it happened. This is where he stated, in response to questions about whether he’d leave the White House peacefully in January 2021, “Certainly I will, and you know that.” He still has not conceded but told reporters that he’d leave office if the Electoral College did their thing and confirmed Joe Biden’s victory. Still, Trump (baselessly) added, “If they do, they’ve made a mistake… this election was a fraud.”

The latest tweets from @DiaperDon.

Oh, and here’s that tiny desk in action.

People on Twitter went crazy, and in seconds, the hashtag #DiaperDon was trending on Twitter. Below are some of the hilarious reactions to these photos: #DiaperDon and his pull ups pic.twitter.com/OvGmwsEpZT — UnaffiliatedVoter (@UnaffiliatedVtr) March 7, 2020. The hashtag #DiaperDon began circulating with the photo of Trump sitting at the desk and some users even photoshopped it with toys, building blocks, and a bib as if he was a child.

Omg. The White House shared the video of Trump and his tiny desk. Somebody there really hates him. https://t.co/Fjwf5KZFUD

From behind this miniature piece of furniture, Trump railed at a reporter, “I’m the president of the United States. Don’t ever talk to the president that way!” (SNL will have so much fun with this.) The #DiaperDon and #TrumpTantrum hashtags were born.

Pretty sure this is the reason there is a 25th amendment.#TrumpTantrum#DiaperDon

I still can’t quite believe this happened today.
Whoever suggested that desk … thank you.#tinydesk#TinyDeskDonaldhttps://t.co/9sQ6Ko1bMApic.twitter.com/xKuU0DVjUD

Let it be known that the FAKE NEWS CNN (horrible ratings) reported my desk to be small when in fact it is HUGE! I will be demanding a reshoot from all angles! Thank you.#DiaperDon#trumptantrumpic.twitter.com/IkS0zb9saa

Trump, of course, tweeted all day and night, and he also did a lot of retweeting, so there’s no telling whether he was upset about these hashtags, but who knows? He first complained about how how wished a Happy Thanksgiving to the armed forces, yet the “Fake News Media” allegedly muddled his “real message,” which is that “the 2020 Election was RIGGED, and that I WON!”

I gave a long news conference today after wishing the military a Happy Thanksgiving, & realized once again that the Fake News Media coordinates so that the real message of such a conference never gets out. Primary point made was that the 2020 Election was RIGGED, and that I WON!

The Twitter tantrum continued. Trump complained, “Twitter is sending out totally false ‘Trends’ that have absolutely nothing to do with what is really trending in the world. They make it up, and only negative ‘stuff.'”

Twitter is sending out totally false “Trends” that have absolutely nothing to do with what is really trending in the world. They make it up, and only negative “stuff”. Same thing will happen to Twitter as is happening to @FoxNews daytime. Also, big Conservative discrimination!

— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) November 27, 2020

Trump appeared to argue that “National Security” was somehow under siege:

For purposes of National Security, Section 230 must be immediately terminated!!!

— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) November 27, 2020

As The Hill notes, Trump and the GOP wish to repeal Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act, which they believe “allows social media companies to discriminate against conservative content on their websites, although such content is often amplified.” Whether Trump is upset that his tweets are being marked with warnings, or he doesn’t like unflattering hashtags, who knows? Probably both.

• President Donald Trump accused Twitter on Thursday night of making 'false trends' and demanded again that Section 230 be 'terminated.'
• Twitter users mocked the president using the hashtag #DiaperDon after he sat at a small table during a news conference and posted frustrated tweets.
• More than 230,000 posts have used #DiaperDon on Twitter.
• Trump also echoed his previous claims accusing Twitter of bias against conservatives.
• Among his 14 tweets Thursday, he also targeted Fox News, Rep. Alexandria-Ocasio Cortez, and NFL players kneeling.

President Donald Trump spent most of Thursday night ripping into Twitter, accusing the social-media site of fabricating trends after the #DiaperDon hashtag took off. The hashtag has more than 230,000 tweets attached to it.

He also demanded an end to Section 230, which is part of a law that allows tech companies to set their own rules about how they regulate content on their platforms.

The hashtag emerged after a sometimes-tense news conference in which Trump snapped at the Reuters White House correspondent Jeff Mason, who asked the president whether he would concede if the Electoral College voted to officially make Joe Biden the winner of the US election, as it is scheduled to do on December 14. At one point, Mason appeared to talk over Trump, prompting him to respond 'don't talk to me that way.'

'You're just a lightweight,' Trump continued. 'Don't talk to me that way. I'm the president of the United States. Don't ever talk to the president that way.'

In a tweet soon after, Trump attacked the news media for its coverage of the event — which began as a call Trump conducted with US troops for Thanksgiving — and reiterated his baseless claims attacking the integrity of the US election.

As Trump vented his frustration, Twitter users began to mock the president using the hashtag #DiaperDon, a reference that seemed to refer in part to the small desk he used for the press conference.

In response, Trump tweeted: 'Twitter is sending out totally false 'Trends' that have absolutely nothing to do with what is really trending in the world. They make it up, and only negative 'stuff.'

He also again claimed without evidence that Twitter discriminated against conservatives.

But he didn't stop there.

In the same hour, Trump tweeted that Section 230 — one of Big Tech's biggest shields — should be 'terminated' for 'the purposes of national security.'

It wasn't the first time Trump had called for a repeal of Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act. In May, the president signed an executive order seeking to empower federal regulators to amend Section 230.

In recent months, Trump has escalated this repeal as both Twitter and Facebook tagged his posts with labels designed to prevent voting misinformation and premature declarations of victory during the election period.

Both Republicans and Democrats have said Section 230 needs to be updated.

But this became more of a reality October 15 when Ajit Pai, the chairman of the Federal Communications Commission, said he'd issue guidance redefining the law.

Why Is Diaper Don Trending

Trump posted and shared a total of 14 tweets on the Thanksgiving holiday, including tweets from conservative commentators, such as David J. Harris Jr., who suggested against all evidence that Trump might still win the election.

Other tweets targeted Fox News, Rep. Alexandria-Ocasio Cortez, and NFL players kneeling before their game Thursday to protest racial injustice.

His flurry of tweets spurred on Twitter users to include #DiaperDon in their posts.
