President Trump said Wednesday that Facebook was against him in the 2016 campaign, despite the revelation that the social media giant published thousands of ads purchased by a Russian entity.
“Facebook was always anti-Trump,” the president tweeted. “The Networks were always anti-Trump hence, Fake News, @nytimes(apologized) & @WaPo [Washington Post] were anti-Trump. Collusion?”
He added, “But the people were Pro-Trump! Virtually no President has accomplished what we have accomplished in the first 9 months-and economy roaring.”
U.S. officials are investigating whether about 3,000 Facebook ads purchased by the Internet Research Agency, which has ties to Moscow, was part of a Russian government scheme to meddle in the 2016 election.
