A co-founder of Twitter says hes sorry if the popular social media platform helped put Donald Trump in the White House, as the president has suggested.
In an interview with The New York Times, Evan Williams says Twitters role in Trumps populist rise is a very bad thing.
The president has credited Twitter with his election to the highest office in the land.
When confronted with that notion, Williams said: If its true that he wouldnt be president if it werent for Twitter, then yeah, Im sorry.

More bitterness from a bittered brain. What else is he/she bitter about? Likely, everything, including the imminent failure of Twitter. Even Trump could not save Twitter.
I suppose it’s time to shut it down so it won’t happen again.
Hmmm...was he sorry that Twitter also manipulated and meddled in the Russian election of 2011, and in 2012?
It seems like a lot of this goes back to the WH plan over Arab Spring, and eventually including Russia to the group that they wanted to use YouTube, Facebook, Twitter, and social media to bring change.
Go on and do it, Evan.
Go on and BAN the President of the United States from twitter you sorry POS.
That move would amount to corporate suicide, and none of your leftist socialist democrat sycophants will be able to save your sorry ass.
If they banned Trump from Twitter he would move to Gab.ai and within a month Twitter would be in financial chaos as millions moved from their service to gab.
The hit on Twitter stock would be tremendous.
BTW, I’m oyvey on Gab.ai :-)
Yep, I agree.
Alfred Nobel, the inventor of dynamite, apparently had genuine regrets over his invention. However, I suspect that what the leftists did with his Nobel Prize he would find far more regrettable.
But I guess he has no problem with Islamic terrorists using his service?
Never mind the NYSlimes hack who asked him this particular loaded question.
lol.
I told some dopey friend not to buy it TWICE on it’s way down.
A stock’s price sinking doesn’t mean you add more, not a hard rule but in this case it was pretty obvious.
He/She/It should be trying to figure out why such an extremely popular and well visited website is doing so terribly.
Is the ad revenue not there? Why? Etc.
Revolutionarys always use the enemy’s weapons against them.
Think of the guns of Fort Ticonderoga seized by the revolutionary soldiers from the British, then dragged hundreds of miles and setup on Dorchester Heights to threaten the British fleet in Boston and force them to vacate.
Trump is a revolutionary.
Trump:
bing bing bing, bong bong bong
Twitter is like owning NYT without the losses
Guess twitter doesn’t believe in Freedom of Speech....just collecting money and running to the bank.
Hmmmm, not a peep concerning the vile verbal attacks on any comment discussing, about, or from any member of the administration.
Speaks volumes of bad intent and thereby associates himself with vitriolic and uncivilized discourse.
“Progressives” are always accusing Trump of putting his foot in his mouth. Yet they do this all the time. Could this fellow stop and think before he says something this stupid?
These people hate free speech.
Evan Williams is a Dem Party mega-donor. Funny how the AP didn’t mention that!
