Twitter excluded from Donald Trump's tech meeting because it 'refused to make Crooked Hillary emoji'

Source: independent.co.uk

The president-elect offered an olive branch to the giant companies he had scolded throughout the campaign - but one tech company was missing

In his boardroom at Trump Tower, the president-elect offered an olive branch to the giant tech companies he had criticised throughout the campaign.

"We want you to keep going with the incredible innovation... Anything we can do to help this go along we’re going to be there for you," he told the executives.

"You call my people, you call me. It doesn’t make any difference."

The market capitalization of the companies represented at the meeting - including Amazon, Apple, Alphabet and Facebook - exceeded $3 trillion and employs about 600,000 people. The attendees were a veritable who’s who in the industry, including Apple CEO Tim Cook, Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella, Alphabet's Larry Page, Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos, Facebook COO Sheryl Sandberg and Tesla Motors CEO Elon Musk.

Noticeably, Mr Trump had declined to invite Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey, the man who created Mr Trump’s favourite medium of communication.

Politco reported that Twitter was refused an invitation for refusing to create an emoji to go alongside the "Crooked Hillary" hashtag

This is a brief sample of what google turned up.







Closest I could get to a Hillary emoji was this.



Not quite the same, no wonder he's pissed off.

it is that this country, as a whole, either accepts or totally supports this from its POTUS elect.

This country is seriously devolving.

... and it prevents any further emotional development. It is not a joke to say this immature brat is the only Donald Trump we're ever going to see.

He's already been diagnosed with a 4th grade vocabulary level. I think that applies to his emotional development, as well.
