Trump Has A Press Conference Meltdown And Claims Facebook And Twitter Are Colluding Against Him

https://www.politicususa.com/2019/03/19/trump-facebook-twitter-collusiion.html/amp

"SNIP.....

Trump’s paranoia is growing by the minute as he claimed during a joint press conference with the president of Brazil that Facebook and Twitter are colluding against him.

Trump said:

Well, we have to do something. I tell you, I have many, many millions of followers on Twitter, and it’s different than it used to be. Things are happening, names are taken off, people aren’t getting through. You’ve heard the same complaints. It seems to be if they’re conservative, if they’re Republicans, if they’re in a certain group, there’s discrimination and big discrimination. I see it absolutely on Twitter and Facebook, which I have also, and others. I really focus more on the one platform. I guess we have almost 60 million on Twitter. If you add them all up, it’s way over 100 million people.

I get to see firsthand what’s going on, and it’s not good. We use the word collusion very loosely all the time, and I will tell you there is collusion with respect to that because something has to be going on. When you get the back scene, back office statements made by executives of the various companies and you see the level of, in many cases, hatred they have for a certain group of people that happen to be in power, that happen to have won the election, you say that’s really unfair.
