Trump: social media influence election

washington - US President Donald Trump has accused social media of trying to influence the upcoming elections. Those social media are 'superlinks', he said in a conversation with the conservative weblog The Daily Caller.

Trump also discusses the previous election in which he defeated Hillary Clinton and was elected president. 'The real interference was that... If you look at all, virtually all companies are superlinks and have a preference for Hillary Clinton. Maybe I did better because I'm good on Twitter and social media, but the truth is that they all supported Hillary Clinton. If you look at Facebook and Google they were on their side ', says Trump.

The president has already accused American media and tech companies of left-wing preferences. He claimed last week that Google shows conservative media less prominently than other media in searches. 'They control what we can and can not see. This is a serious situation that something will be done about, 'he added. Previously, Trump already criticized Amazon and its founder, Jeff Bezos. He also owns the Washington Post, one of the most important newspapers in the United States.

The Americans are allowed to return to the polls on 6 November. They can then vote for a part of the Senate and the whole House of Representatives. In both chambers the Republicans of Trump defend their majority.
