Trump Calls Out Collusion Between Democrats and Social Media

RUSH: Let’s go to the two sound bites that we have from Trump’s presser with the Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro, it’s a joint press conference. A reporter said, “You tweeted in support of Congressman Nunes’s suit against Twitter. There’s part of a larger discussion about making social media companies libel for the content that is on their platform which they’re not currently. Is that an idea or a change in law that you would support?”

THE PRESIDENT: 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, and 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. Something’s happening with those groups of folks that are running Facebook and Google and Twitter, and I do think we have to get to the bottom of it.

what Trump described — let me describe it a little bit better. Trump has how many followers on Twitter? Does anybody know off the top of your head, it’s millions, right? You would figure if Trump tweets something out that, of that millions and millions, a significantly large number of them would retweet it, would they not? Okay. So Trump tweets out a video or anything, he’s got millions of followers, then you look and you see 11,000 retweets? Sorry, folks. That’s not mathematically possible.

Somebody who has millions and millions and millions of followers tweets something out and only 11,000 retweet it? That’s one of the things Trump is talking about here, the shadow banning. Trump is being shadow banned. Trump is being limited, as are a lot of conservatives on Twitter and Facebook and all the Facebook apps. There’s Messenger, there’s Instagram.

Facebook controls a lot of these things, and there’s no question that there’s censorship. 25.4 million followers and a video he tweets gets 11,000 retweets? That’s not possible. There ought to be millions of retweets. Trump is perhaps one of the most popular Twitter users ever, and they’re doing everything they can to limit Trump’s popularity and reach.
