CNBC reports:
President Donald Trump met with Twitter CEO and co-founder Jack Dorsey at the White House on Tuesday, press secretary Sarah Sanders confirmed after the meeting had ended.
Shortly thereafter, Trump tweeted, “Lots of subjects discussed regarding their platform, and the world of social media in general. Look forward to keeping an open dialogue!”
The upbeat tone of Trump’s tweet represented a reversal of tone from the one he’d conveyed just hours before, on Tuesday morning, when he used his personal Twitter account criticize the tech giant.
That’s Trump’s social media director and former golf caddie Dan Scavino glowering to Dorsey’s right.
“The best thing ever to happen to Twitter is Donald Trump.” @MariaBartiromo So true, but they don’t treat me well as a Republican. Very discriminatory, hard for people to sign on. Constantly taking people off list. Big complaints from many people. Different names-over 100 M…..
