Trump was slapped in the face by Twitter, and thousands of employees donated money to fight against immigration ban

Trump, who likes to release various policies, complaints and counterattacks on Twitter, has recently encountered a very frustrating thing. Leifeng.com learned that Twitter employees, including Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey, recently donated $1.59 million to the non-profit organization American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), mainly to fight Trump's immigration ban.

Twitter General Counsel Vijaya Gadde confirmed this, saying: "Our work is far from over. In the coming months, we will see a series of legal challenges, legislative actions, and public statements. As long as civil liberties are threatened, as individuals we will defend freedom and care for the people."

Trump signed an executive order at the end of January this year, banning citizens of seven Muslim countries from entering the United States within 90 days. These countries include Syria, Iraq, Iran, Sudan, Somalia, Yemen and Libya. This order has encountered opposition from many technology companies.

However, Leifeng.com discovered that Twitter and Trump have long had a grudge against each other.

Twitter played a role in Trump's victory in the election. During the campaign, Trump used Twitter to interact with millions of voters and promote his future policies. Twitter also clearly supported Trump's policies on cybersecurity and combating the spread of online violence.

It seems that Trump, a true fan, and Twitter should love each other. However, in December 2016, when Trump met with many technology leaders, Twitter was not among the invited technology companies. As for the reason why Twitter was not selected, a spokesperson for the presidential transition team said it was because it was too small. They also said, "The conference table is only that big."

However, the rumors are not true. Leifeng.com learned that many media reported that Twitter was not invited because the company's CEO Jack Dorsey personally intervened to prevent the Trump campaign from buying the "#Crooked Hillary" tag for $5 million to make it an exclusive emoticon. Twitter believes that this practice is a political naming and will not approve it.

In December 2016, at the Code Commerce Conference, Dorsey was asked by the media how Trump feels about his frequent use of Twitter. He said: "President-elect Trump uses our service as a direct communication channel so that everyone can see his thoughts in a timely manner. I think this is great. I have never seen this before."

However, Dorsey also said that this made him feel complicated.

Two days before the 2017 US presidential inauguration, Trump told Fox News that he did not like Twitter and that he had other things to do. Why is his mouth so stubborn but his body so honest?

Trump said: "I am exposed to a very dishonest media and a very dishonest news, and posting on social media Twitter is the only way I can resist."
