President Trump on Tuesday took aim at Twitter, accusing the tech company of “discriminatory” treatment that he said affects his account’s ability to reach followers.

Trump also pressed Congress to “get involved” with the social media platform.
“’The best thing ever to happen to Twitter is Donald Trump,'” Trump tweeted, quoting Bartiromo. “So true, but they don’t treat me well as a Republican.
