In a possible reaction to growing reports that Facebook sold pro-Trump advertisements to a Russian-linked internet research group during the 2016 election, President Donald Trump said the social media giant was “always anti-Trump.”

“Facebook was always anti-Trump. The Networks were always anti-Trump hence, Fake News, @nytimes (apologized) and @WaPo were anti-Trump. Collusion?” he cryptically tweeted Wednesday morning.

He then went on to tout his success as president so far, saying “the people were Pro-Trump.”

The tweets come as U.S. officials investigate whether about 3,000 advertisements purchased by the Kremlin-linked group were part of a larger initiative by the Russian government to interfere with the 2016 election.

    OT:

    1. looking at the photo, they’ve toned down his hair color – a little less cheeto-y – and he doesn’t seem to be spending much time under the sun lamp/tan spray gun.
    2. the Evil Spawn have been pretty quiet – okay, Duncie Jr spouted out some BS the other day, but for the most part, schtum…
