Trump said he might have banned Facebook as president but 'Zuckerberg kept calling' and 'telling me

how great I was'

Former President Donald Trump on Tuesday said more countries should ban Twitter and Facebook, two platforms that booted him over the risk of incitement of violence after the January 6 Capitol insurrection.

"Congratulations to the country of Nigeria, who just banned Twitter because they banned their President," Trump said. "More COUNTRIES should ban Twitter and Facebook for not allowing free and open speech - all voices should be heard."

-snip-

Trump then said he should have banned the two major social platforms when he was president, but said he didn't because of CEO Mark Zuckerberg.

"Zuckerberg kept calling me and coming to the White House for dinner telling me how great I was," Trump said in the statement. In late 2019, news surfaced that Zuckerberg met with Trump and Facebook board member and Trump supporter Peter Thiel in a secret dinner in October.

scandal, Peter Theil's company Palantir is a data mining company. I don't think any of them could be called patriotic.

Knew exactly what button to push with this moron

Also, the USA isn't Nigeria. The POTUS can't just shut down billion dollar businesses just because he feels like it. There are ... you know ... rules?

Also Zuck has nothing to do with Twitter, so what's Tangeranus' excuse for that one?

Nevermind, why would I expect anything this dipshit says to make sense?
