Trump Suggests 'Anti-Trump' Facebook And Media Colluding Against Him

  • 6 years ago
President Trump suggested on Wednesday that Facebook and the media may be colluding against him.

President Trump on Wednesday suggested that Facebook and US media outlets may be conspiring against him. 
“Facebook was always anti-Trump. The Networks were always anti-Trump hence, Fake News, @nytimes(apologized) & @WaPo were anti-Trump. Collusion?" Trump tweeted. "But the people were Pro-Trump! Virtually no President has accomplished what we have accomplished in the first 9 months-and economy roaring.” 
While the president has long been attacking TV networks and newspapers for allegedly spreading ‘fake news,’ the part about them working with the social media company to spread an anti-Trump message is ground less trodden. 
Facebook has made headlines lately over Russia-linked ads in 2016.   
“Under growing pressure from Congress and the public to reveal more about the spread of covert Russian propaganda on Facebook, the company said on Thursday that it was turning over more than 3,000 Russia-linked ads to congressional committees investigating the Kremlin’s influence operation during the 2016 presidential campaign,” according to the New York Times.
