Donald Trump to be DEPRIVED of 2016 presidential campaign's SECRET weapon in 2020
The Express ^ | September 21, 2018 | Martina Bet

DONALD TRUMP will be left without his secret campaign weapon in the 2020 presidential election, as Facebook has announced it will not offer the same support to US President as it did in 2016.

The tech-giant declared its change in policy claiming that it will focus on providing support and information to all politicians and campaigns on its website politics.fb.com rather than visiting campaign headquarters.

The company’s decision comes after more than a year of controversy over its role in the Trump campaign, with many alleging Facebook gave the American firebrand preferential treatment.

In an interview with CBS News' 60 Minutes, which aired in January 2017, Brad Parscale, digital director of the Trump campaign, admitted Facebook targeting played a major role in the US President’s win.

He praised the social network, branding it “the method” for Trump’s victory and pointed to the Facebook employees “embedded inside our offices" to give guidance on how to use the platform to target voters....

It'd be too bad if they were shut down for national security reasons.

Will they deny the same access to demonrat candidates? If not they’ve just broken the law.

Twitter and Instagram are the “in sites” now anyway. How cute Facebook thinks it relevant.

bullshit, for the past several election cycles Fakebook has been colluding with the media to frame the election. ABC claimed it was so they could present the issues that were deemed important on socialist networking media sites.

All the major tech companies gave inside track technology support to the Clinton team: Google, Facebook, twitter and more. They all colluded with great vigor to win it for their girl.

Despite that, they got whipped within their own tech frameworks. They are now planning to collude more aggressively against Trump in 2020.

Most, if not all, major social media platforms are owned by leftists. They have been colluding since obama was in the White House. They will be focused on ensuring the next election goes their way. If they are successful, their will be no repercussions. Legally.

Yeah, no... 2020 is not going to be close enough for social media to matter.

If you need a smile, think of the list of possible Dem candidates for 2020.

Facebook is delusional if they think they played a major role in President Trump’s 2016 win.

“The tech-giant declared its change in policy claiming that it will focus on providing support and information to all politicians and campaigns on its website politics.fb.com rather than visiting campaign headquarters.”

fine. Trump won’t need to advertise on FB for the 2020 election anyway: his accomplishments and his demonstrated promise-keeping will be so overwhelming that pretty much all he will need to do is hold a few rallies and call it good. FB can kiss hundreds of millions of ad dollars goodbye ...
