Trump accused social media companies of "tremendous dishonesty, bias, discrimination and suppression" and announced an event at the WH today that would "bring together digital leaders for a robust conversation on the opportunities and challenges of today's online environment."
These digital leaders ended up being far right social internet personalities, a failed musician, and conspiracy theorists. The guy who runs Gateway Pundit was there. James O'Keefe was there and got a Trump shout out for defending Roy Moore. A Qanon peddling radio host who made up rumors about Mayor Pete sexually assaulting someone came. There was also the guy who lied about Kamala Harris' background that an admin here recently posted as fact. There was the founder of a pro conservative medis group who once called Obama a "ghetto crackhead" on Sean Hannity. There was some guy who started a Students for Trump group that was arrested 2 months ago for fraud and falsely posing as a laywer. A guy who was fired from Buzzfeed for plagiarizing 40 stories was there. A twitter meme account was invited. There was even some guy named Carpe Donktum who makes Trump memes and goes on Infowars. Like Trump said, Digital Leaders.
The summit was allegedly light on substance and began with Kelly Anne giving an interview to youtubers Diamond and Silk, something one attendee told the press was mostly an "unintelligible rant". Trump later spoke but apparently was mostly bragging about his social media presence. He claimed twitter purposefully keeps his follower numbers low and spoke about random things like the census and Scooter Libby.
After the event, Trump invited these "digital leaders" to the Rose Garden as he gave a press conference regarding the census. At one point some of the guests started throwing insults back and forth with a reporter from Playboy, eventually leading to former WH advisor and supporter of neo-nazi militias Sebastian Gorka to call the reporter a punk.
Soon after Joy Villa, the woman known for wearing MAGA dresses to the Grammy's, approached the press. Before she wore MAGA dresses, she was known for wearing dresses that exposed her almost entirely naked body as an attempt to jump start he career. She called herself a citizen journalist and said the media needs to stop with the fakes news. The same reporter asked her how many copy editors she had and said she wasn't a journalist, just a citizen with a voice.
All in all a solid event that was not beneath the office of the President.

I mentioned this event coming up in another thread...but does it even matter anymore?
Trump supporters simply believe him. He shows with this "summitt" that he has an entire group of idiots willing to say anything to support him and the GOP whether it is true or not (probably 90% not true) that will get them clicks and likes.
All of this should lead to people demanding he be mentally evaluated or at the very least admitting it is beneath the office. But it won't.
Trump supporters are mindless idiots. The solid 38% base at least. He does no wrong, never lies, and is fighting for them.
I don't even care if they get mad when I say it anymore.
I know people who voted for him that I can have actual, real conversations with and I know the drooling MAGA hat wearing ones that refuse to believe anything is wrong in the WH. But both won't waver in their previous vote. Why? It would be admitting they were snookered.
It's sad to see people like that. Seriously. I have more hope for our country and our people than to believe that a full one third can be completely conned to the point of simply not believing actual facts in place of accepting what DJT tweets and says.
This "summitt" just reinforces that.

Meanwhile, China and Russia are working together to undermine our alliances everywhere east of the Urals, as well as working to give Mexico an alternative to us and we just ignore that in favor of bitching about hurt feelings on the internet.

I don't know where you are all going guys but you better step up before it is too late.
Left extremists lead to ruin
Right extremists lead to war.
And again I say unto you, It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.
