Trumps 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 its different than it used to be. Things are happening, names are taken off, people arent getting through. Youve heard the same complaints. It seems to be if theyre conservative, if theyre Republicans, if theyre in a certain group, theres 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, its way over 100 million people.
I get to see firsthand whats going on, and its 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 thats really unfair.

It was back in July of last year, but Needy Amin may just be finding out about it now.
