U.S. President Donald Trump on Tuesday, Jan. 12, denounced big tech companies as dividing America. Trump said this is a terrible thing for America and a disastrous mistake for the big tech companies that will cause outrage and backlash.
I think Big Tech is doing a terrible thing to our country,” President Trump told an entourage of reporters at Joint Base Andrews on Jan. 12 before he was set to fly to Texas on Air Force One to inspect the border wall.

They’re dividing [our country], and they’re showing things that I predicted a long time ago. I predicted it a long time ago, and people didn’t do anything about it.”
Also, Trump pointed out that big tech companies are leading others to do the same thing, a dangerous move that is so wrong they will cause outrage and be hit by counterproductive forces.

I’ve never seen such anger as I see now, and it’s a terrible thing.”

President Trump then pushed back against the double standard of the leftist media and the Democratic Party, saying, “If you look at what other people have said — some of the top politicians — about the riots over the summer, the terrible riots, and the riots in various other places – what they’re saying, that’s the real problem.”
After the Jan. 6 accident at the U.S. Capitol that left five people dead, Twitter and Facebook silenced President Trump by banning his accounts on both platforms without any investigation, blaming the attack on Congress on President Trump’s “incitement to violence.
When President Trump moved to Parler, a social media platform similar to Twitter, a large number of President Trump’s supporters left Twitter and joined Parler, and Apple, Google and Amazon discontinued Parler from their App stores and web hosting services, respectively, causing the Parler platform to “instantly The Parler platform “disappeared”.
President Trump has said he wants to build his own voice platform and promised “a big announcement soon.
The strongest blocking actions by big tech companies like Twitter, Facebook, Google, Apple and Amazon to limit President Trump’s influence have not only angered his supporters, but also made more non-President Trump supporters upset and accuse these big tech companies of overstepping their monopoly and speech censorship.
