With the imminent release of the Mueller report on alleged Russian collusion with the Trump campaign, President Donald Trump outlined what he considers the real collusion that had an impact on the 2016 election. In an interview Thursday morning with FBN’s Maria Bartiromo, the president had this to say about collusion which could lead to potential regulation of social media to prevent censorship:

“I hate the concept of regulation on media, but it’s very unfair. You talk about the word collusion. The collusion between the Democrats and these people is ridiculous. It’s hard to believe I won, If you think about it, I had Facebook, Google, Twitter, everybody against me…the media is almost totally against me. And yet, I won…People can’t even believe that I won. Because I’m able to get the word out through my social media, because I have great social media. But it’s much tougher than it should be. I deal with Twitter; it’s not right they way they do it….they take people off my account, They make it hard for people to join…”

Trump added that he has about 100 million followers on his various social media platforms and it gives him a voice “because it’s a corrupt media. I call it fake media, but it’s fake and corrupt.”

Break Up Big Tech?

The POTUS, himself a former Democrat and independent, expressed ambivalence/reluctance, however, about breaking up the Big Tech outlets through government regulation, which is favored by lawmakers on both ends of the ideological spectrum.

“I would really like everybody to be free, but they don’t treat us the same way as they treat liberal Democrats and others because the Democrats are becoming a far-left party, a radical party…”

This past week, the president signed an executive order protecting free speech on college campuses. Perhaps he will next turn his attention to insuring free speech online especially as the 2020 election approaches.

2018 Election Collusion?

San Diego psychologist Robert Epstein claims that Google bias helped flip three California House seats to the Democrats in the 2018 midterm election.

From Breitbart:

“Epstein says that in the days leading up to the 2018 midterms, he was able to preserve ‘more than 47,000 election-related searches on Google, Bing, and Yahoo, along with the nearly 400,000 web pages to which the search results linked.’

“Analysis of this data showed a clear pro-Democrat bias in election-related Google search results as compared to competing search engines. Users performing Google searches related to the three congressional races the study focused on were significantly more likely to see pro-Democrat stories and links at the top of their results.

“As Epstein’s previous studies have shown, this can have a huge impact on the decisions of undecided voters, who often assume that their search results are unbiased. Epstein has called this the Search Engine Manipulation Effect (SEME).

“According to Epstein’s study, at least 35,455 undecided voters in the three districts may have been persuaded to vote for a Democrat candidate because of slanted Google search results.”

Mueller Time?

With the media reporting that the Mueller investigation will result in no further indictments, it does appear that the entire investigation was indeed a witch hunt and a hoax pushed by the anti-Trump, Democrat-media complex for two-plus years.

Moreover, arguably the only collusion established was that the Obama administration including Hillary Clinton gave 20 percent of U.S. uranium to the Russians around the time that cash from that country poured into the Clinton Foundation. Plus, the Clinton campaign and the Democrats paid for the fake Russian dossier that the Obama Deep State used as a pretext to spy on the Trump campaign.

A DOJ Inspector General is probing related FISA abuses by the FBI. A report on what seems to be the real, far-reaching scandal is expected within the next month or two.

Conspiracy Peddlers

Many are calling for the media and Russia hoax-obsessed conspiracy theorists to be held accountable. It’s ironic that the left has traditionally accused the right of pushing conspiracy theories.

As an aide, if the Democrats were sincere in their outrage about foreign meddling in U.S. elections, why are they enabling and/or turning a blind eye to illegal alien voting by opposing voter ID or citizenship checks? The U.S. has also interfered in foreign elections. For example, Obama apparently sent political operatives to Israel in 2015 to try to unseat Prime Minister Netanyahu. Obama also went over to London prior to the Brexit vote and warned voters that the U.K. would be placed at the back of the line for a new trade deal. Trump has said just the opposite, promising to expedite an agreement with the U.K. if or when it actually leaves the EU.

Fake News on Russia Collusion

Left-wing journalist Caitlin Johnson, no fan of the Trump administration by any means, made these observations about this week’s news:

“A completely unhindered investigation has failed to convict a single American of any kind of conspiracy with the Russian government, and no further indictments are coming. The political/media class which sold rank-and-file Americans on the lie that the Mueller investigation was going to bring down this presidency were liars and frauds, and none of the goalpost-moving that I am sure is already beginning to happen will change that…[mainstream liberals] had swallowed the Russiagate narrative hook, line and sinker, and they believed that the Mueller investigation was going to vindicate them. It did not. I’ve been saying Russiagate is bullshit from the beginning, and I’ve been called a Trump shill, a Kremlin propagandist, a Nazi and a troll every day for saying so by credulous mass media-consuming dupes who drank the Kool Aid… We must never let mainstream Democrats forget how crazy they got, how much time and energy they wasted, how very, very wrong they were and how very, very right we were… Every politician, every media figure, every Twitter pundit and everyone who swallowed this moronic load of bull spunk has officially discredited themselves for life…”

Another leftist journalist, Matt Taibbi, offered these observations:

“Nobody wants to hear this, but news that Special Prosecutor Robert Mueller is headed home without issuing new charges is a death-blow for the reputation of the American news media….Worse, in a brutal irony everyone should have seen coming, the press has now handed Trump the mother of campaign issues heading into 2020.

“Nothing Trump is accused of from now on by the press will be believed by huge chunks of the population, a group that (perhaps thanks to this story) is now larger than his original base. As Baker notes, a full 50.3% of respondents in a poll conducted this month said they agree with Trump the Mueller probe is a ‘witch hunt.’”
