 * As of Saturday morning, there are dozens of tweets still visible on the social media site written by those rooting for Trump to die 

Twitter is pledging to remove tweets rooting for President Trump's death in the wake of his COVID-19 diagnosis. 

The social media site's communications department made the vow Friday evening, just hours after the Commander-in-chief was airlifted to hospital amid reports that he was having trouble breathing. '

Tweets that wish or hope for death, serious bodily harm or fatal disease against *anyone* are not allowed and will need to be removed. This does not automatically mean suspension,' an official statement from the company read.
