Trump is bringing some of social media's most divisive right-wing personalities to the White House to air their complaints against the same online platforms he uses so often

Nobody from Facebook, Twitter or Google has been invited to attend the gathering

Pro-Trump political cartoonist Ben Garrison was also among those slated to attend, but the White House rescinded his invitation,Wednesday, amid complaints that his work has promoted anti-Semitic tropes about Jewish financiers controlling world events.

In the meantime, it would be great if President Trump would get serious about antitrust.

Politico is soooo honest that ppl who are ignorant believe them and they should. If any1 is reading this, do ur own research. Don’t trust anyone.

Why doesn’t trump just use those social medias?

I can already hear the sound of jackboots in front of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. 😉

Manbaby Trump is having a pity party today.

Twitter is totally biased. My account was limited twice for mentioning the horrors of Antifa.

Inaccurate. Many left leaning people invited but wait that doesn’t fit your narrative does it?

That's a laff Google is so far up the alt rights butt I can't find anything worth reading on their crap, and the news feed is routinely filled with Russian fake stories

Our tax dollars at work, a real life Festivus Airing of Grievances

'prominent boosters' & Gadflies? Why alienate the majority who are sane people watching this issue? Do you suspect your audience is below par in intelligence?

Ah, yes: 'the airing of grievances' at the White House! Looks like the 23rd of December celebration of 'Festivus' has come early this year to TrumpWorld! 🙃

WH - excluding MSM, bringing in extremists ... sounds like PUTIN winning! WhiteHouse KellyannePolls

I'm on page 111 vo.II of Mueller report. I'm reading it entirely on the crapper which I think is my metaphorically based opinion of what is happ. to our country. Found myself saying out loud to no one 'were this Clinton, Clinton circle or child what would this country demand'?

A whine fest

Talk about echo chamber and group think!

Not conservative voices. Fascist voices.

Lol what a joke.

Maybe you could just shut up and listen and then make proclamations.

Bitch session. That's nice.

Where's a 'good guy with a gun' when you need one?

Since those online platforms won't air their complaints, they need an open venue where freedom of speech is allowed. Trump's White House is perfect.

Politico claims Project Veritas has 'selectively edited videos.' Name me one video not 'selectively edited.' You mean 'raw' video? All edited videos are 'selectively' edited. That's what editing is, dummy! Was your article 'selectively edited?'

BigTech : We want to attend the meeting too ...... so we can learn to censor you even better!

Hypocrites commenting here all agree there is a problem with social media but bc it’s Trump they have a selective memory. Stop the fake outrage.

With all the problems in the US - this is what he chooses to address: white nationalist messaging?

Ummmm, because they are the EXACT people being abused by big tech's immoral practices. But ok, instead we will grab some rando from Iowa who got a 12 hour ban for saying learn to cd$ to a reporter. Got it!

Huh... So Ta-Nehisi Coates is a calm, inclusive, centrist, much more worthy of attention at the house judiciary hearing. Got it, I was woefully unaware.

So basically a bitch session realDonaldTrump If they really wanted dialogue those they believe to be discriminatory would be invited. Tired of these people playing the victim card.

Cheers to freedom of speech!

Is it Festivus already? Damn.

So this is going to be Fox and friends OMG Tucker gonna cry to daddy?

Remember- this is the guy who pretended to be his own agent - as he called news publications to brag about how wonderful Trump was doing financially. He is the king of publicity propaganda.

Oh no not divisive personalities! HOW about stopping the disgraceful practice of silencing the right! No that’s call them names!

Cant we censor these people from complaining about social media censorship of their ideas?

In other words, it will be a Trump Campaign media strategy meeting.

Dear real news. Please don’t give this bullpucky coverage.

'I want to be an ignorant bigot on social media and not have any consequences!!'

Of course he is. That's the way he operates.

The tone of this tweet is the very reason why this is happening.

Politico is just mad because none of them nor any of their friends were invited. Sad!

Sounds like a “PITY PARTY” to me.

Social media propelled him into the WH. He needs to stop whining.

As opposed to the left wing MSM

And then he is going to Tweet how great they are and how they should do more about this issue and how important it is. realDonaldTrump is a walkin talking contradiction. ImpeachTrumpNow

“Unlike the early patriot press, today’s newsrooms and journalists are mostly hostile to America’s founding principles, traditions, and institutions.” - Mark Levin, Unfreedom of the Press

Getting them all ready for the campaign!

Trump Angry Iran Is Breaking Deal Trump Already BrokeDonald Trump is in the position of negotiating a deal with Iran without having a clear understanding of what this even means. jonathanchait writes jonathanchait This is true every time Trump 'negotiates' anything. Because he understands nothing. Except ratings, sex crimes and hamburders. jonathanchait jonathanchait I found it interesting that after Trump's stupidist speech to date (airports during the Revolutionary War) his approval rating hit his highest level yet. Are we really that stupid?
