President Donald Trump today suggested tech giants like Google and Twitter are the greatest threat to the integrity of the 2020 presidential election — and said anti-conservative bias among the companies had a greater impact in 2016 than Russian meddling.
"Let me tell you, they're trying to rig the election," Trump said in a phone interview on Fox Business. "That's what we should be looking at, not that witch hunt, the phony witch hunt.
Lawmakers, academics and U.S. intelligence officials are in broad agreement that Russia mounted a vast online disinformation campaign ahead of the 2016 election with the aim of inflaming American political and social tensions, supporting Trump's candidacy and depressing Democratic voter turnout. Trump's comments reiterated claims that he and other prominent Republicans have made alleging that tech companies like Google, Facebook and Twitter are biased against conservatives and deliberately stifle their accounts and content. The companies flatly deny these allegations.
His criticisms came immediately after an extended broadside against Twitter for allegedly blocking people from following his account on the site, a claim the president has made repeatedly without evidence.
Locked them down then😂😂😂
Now why would he think that? Because they might stop THE RUSSIANS? Because he might not get all the help he's bargained for God forsake he EVER play fair!!!
Then why is he using/supporting Twitter?
What!? So, he “tweets on Twitter” on and off, all day and night, but says Twitter is a threat to his 2020 campaign ?! Well, well..... Ya think that maybe Donnie Dufus has figured out his tweets sound like a whiny 14yr old❓Nah.....!😏
VOTE for HER. Marianne Williamson 2020
And so it starts. Anyone that thinks realDonaldTrump will accept the results of 2020 election if he loses is delusional. HE’S NOT LEAVING! ImpeachTrumpNow
He is completely right. Google basically admitted it.
Except maybe for your buddy, Vladimir? realDonaldTrump POTUS
So he doesn’t get re-elected it’s gonna be the deep state, media, haters and losers, Democrats obstructionist, tweeter and google. Did I miss anyone?
Lol
They’re actually the GREATEST THREAT to mankind
Nobody reads his tweets anymore thats why
IllegitimatePresident prepping his base to believe the election was stolen from him when he loses in 2020.
I always knew Bill gates was up to something
Great. Shut down Twitter and watch how fast he changes his mind.
If he means because of the chance they’ll be used by his Russian allies to affect the election, he may be right.
By now you shld hv figured it out. He's laying the ground for discrediting the entire 2020 Elections. Somewhere, in his squalid little heart he knows he is going to lose the elections. He is firing up his rabid cult.
Where would he be without twitter and google?
realDonaldTrump .. Then get off Twitter, other wise I have consider this more Grifter bullshit.
Only because his base are illiterate.
Then stop tweeting on Twitter, dah
You and Russia are the greatest threat to our election.
Poor Deranged Donald, Russia will not be much help, No Hillary emails via Comey, Cambridge Analytical bused, No Bernie votes from upset Hillary fans YouTube has all your Narcissistic behavior to remind America to Vote your out of office. The Lies, immature behavior, goodbye
integrity 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
He spends his whole day on Twitter...when he's not on a Trump golf course
To the extent that bots can impersonate people and spread lies and propaganda and prejudice, that is true.
after Russia
What fucking integrity?
Paranoia is a sign of
dwinfrey72 He's gaslighting again I see.
Because the tech giants are prepared big time for Russian and any other Trumpian country intervention which really upsets DT. DT will do ANYTHING to throw the 2020 election in his favor!
So is your Twiiter feed!!
lol lol 😂
The really sad thing is that no journalist has picked up on the fact that all of these complaints that Trump is making about elections being unfair will be his justification for canceling the 2020 election to do a “national emergency“. It’s a pattern hiding in plain sight.
Good. Take Trump of Twitter. What a moron Trump is. He is the biggest threat to democracy trying to obstruct the free press and the judicial system
Not Russia... But google.. Gotcha.
President Trump's efforts to make a bogeyman out of tech companies are ridiculous. The Mueller report found alleged Russian interference by IRA and GRU including Clinton and Democrats computers and state boards of elections.
“A few of the things” Trump says aren’t as outlandish as they sound once you give them some thought but he is such a hypocrite that it’s impossible to extend him even a modicum of credibility. How can he accuse anyone of being a liar or a bad leader or a cheater?🤦🏾♂️
Twitter Please make sure that your number one user doesn't feel threatened and just cancel his account! You twitter can be the patriot here!
Yup. He’s not wrong.
🖕🏼the Russian asset
Desperation sets in !
Why, they cutting out your bots? Where is cc?
Donald Trump should be allowed to say the word integrity.
Now it’s a concern , but the Russians interference is fine . Mitch was doing nothing to stop interference but now that the support isn’t there your concerned
Oh ! Not hacked voting machines and his buddy Putin?
Googled for news report visa-vie Eric Trump being spit on by waitress--nothing on Google. DuckDuckGo LiberalsAre21stCenturyNazis DemocratsAreDestroyingAmerica Trump2020 Google Reacts to Project Veritas Exposé
This is true election interference, way more influential than Russia!
No you are🔥👹
That must be why when you Google 'election meddling' Trump's is the first name that comes up.
Hypocrite. Get off of twitter then!
You mr president are the greatest threat to the 2020 Elections LOL 😂 CloseTheConcentrationCamps
true dat.
truth
So, you're saying the intelligence agencies we invest billions in to protect us are all wrong? Um... No. Nope. I'm not saying we shouldn't be concerned about tech, I'm saying I want a Goddamn paper ballot because we know for a FACT the Russians are trying to manipulate things.
Somehow Trump's facilitator and friend Puttin is off the hook. Imagine that?
This is a double standard. I don't get it. Uses Twitter too, doesn't he? 🤨🤔
Trump’s integrity, or lack there of, is the biggest threat to the integrity of the 2020 election.
Wow.
Ha Ha 😂😂😂 Google and Twitter!!! No your friends are the greatest threat again of you being re-elected Russians outsideinterference mobrule U are a big JOKE!!!
He isn't wrong. They have openly stated their intent to manipulate the process for their own desired outcomes.
Didn’t he just admit he’d take information about an opponent from a foreign government to win an election?!?!?
Because you can Google Trump and find out how crooked he really is.
Not to mention public opinion, Trump means!
Basic information is a big threat.....🤦🏼♀️
Sorry realDonaldTrump you're the biggest threat to democracy and equality in America.
Yes right, a threat like you are... realDonaldTrump, please stop using Twitter..
No, he is the greatest threat...
The thing is, his base supporters are just naive enough to believe him.
Trump is right again....not just tech companies but MSM with the likes of CNN & Politico
kim jong un can help you with that.
Well....that video didn't lie... and it's unfortunate because I like google and twitter..
He’s not wrong...
Let's Blame Everybody .
He is 💯% correct
