President Donald Trump took to Twitter to complain about the social media platform for what he believes are biased trends.
“Twitter is sending out totally false ‘Trends’ that have absolutely nothing to do with what is really trending in the world. They make it up, and only negative ‘stuff’. Same thing will happen to Twitter as is happening to [Fox News] daytime. Also, big Conservative discrimination!” Trump wrote.

On Thanksgiving and into Friday #DiaperDon was a number one trend on Twitter.
The trend came soon after the president took questions from reporters for the first time since the election, as IJR previously reported.
When asked if he would concede the election if the Electoral College backs President-elect Joe Biden on Dec. 14, Trump replied, “It’s going to be a very hard thing to concede.”
He added, ““We know there was massive fraud. It was a rigged election.”
Trump’s claims of election fraud are unsubstantiated.
He reiterated the election was fraudulent and proceeded to fire back at the reporter.
“You’re just a lightweight. Don’t talk to me that way. I’m the President of the United States. Don’t ever talk to the President that way,” Trump said.
He again falsely claimed he won the election during a Pennsylvania hearing he called into Wednesday, as IJR previously reported.
“This was an election that we won easily. We won it by a lot. A big energy official was on this morning, on a important show and said, ‘There’s no way Trump didn’t win Pennsylvania because the energy industry was all for him,'” Trump said.
He continued, “This election was rigged, and we can’t let that happen. We can’t let it happen for our country and this election has to be turned around because we won Pennsylvania by a lot and we won all of these swing states by a lot.”
