Yesterday Trump had a White House meeting
with Jack Dorsey, the CEO of Twitter
and tech bro Tyrion Lannister.
And he had him there
to let him know that the president isn't happy
about what's going on online.
REPORTER: Well, President Trump meeting
with Twitter cofounder and CEO Jack Dorsey at the White House.
The meeting coming after Trump attacked social media,
saying that they are biased against conservatives,
even slamming Twitter for the platform's treatment of him.
REPORTER 2: The Washington Post reports that a lot
of that meeting focused on the president's concerns
that Twitter had deliberately removed
some of his followers.
But as Dorsey explained to the president,
Twitter routinely removes fraudulent spam accounts.
That's right, my friends.
The president of the United States is upset
because he feels he should have more Twitter followers.
This is absolutely ridiculous.
Like, what's next? He's gonna complain to Instagram
because his thirst traps aren't blowing up?
Huh? He's like,
"Look at those hips."
Although, I will be honest,
this is most relatable thing he's ever done, right?
Because we all think we should have more Twitter followers.
I don't care who you are. Everyone's like,
"Come on, that's it?"
The only difference is, when Trump gets mad at Twitter,
he doesn't just complain to his friends--
he flies in the CEO of Twitter.
That's the dream right there.
Yeah, in fact, I bet this is gonna inspire more people
to run for office. Yeah.
People are gonna be onstage, like, "I'm running for president
"so that I can ask Jeff Bezos
"what happened to my tube socks,
which were supposed to be here by Wednesday!"
And, by the way, that's not a stock image.
That's an actual guy running for president right now.
Or maybe it isn't. You don't know.
There's too many of them to keep track.
He actually is running.
He isn't. We don't know.
I actually feel sorry for everyone in this meeting
with Trump who had to sit there and take it seriously.
Like, everyone. I mean, look at-- look at this guy.
Look at this guy's face, right?
That guy works for Trump,
but even he's looking at him the same way you look
at your dad when he whips out a Speedo for the beach.
He's like, "Dad, you're embarrassing me
in front of Stacy!"
And poor Jack. Poor Jack Dorsey.
He has to explain to a president
that some of his followers were deleted
because they were bots and spam accounts.
It's like breaking the news to a child that Santa isn't real.
He's like, "Sir, you're 72 now,
"so I think you're old enough to know the truth.
@MIKHAIL_62875 isn't a real person."
He's like, "No! He retweets me every day!
"That's a lie!
He's my best friend!"
And Twitter is only one of the president's beefs right now.
Because, yesterday, he reignited one of his original feuds.
President Trump is reportedly escalating his dispute
with some of the media, reportedly telling officials
in his administration to boycott
Saturday's annual White House Correspondents' dinner
after controversy at last year's event.
REPORTER: Sarah Sanders and Kellyanne Conway
have attended in the past.
President Trump has not attended the event
since taking office. And in a tweet today,
he once again called the media--
quoting now-- "the enemy of the people."
That's right. President Trump has ordered everyone
in his administration to stay away
from the White House Correspondents' dinner.
Yeah. And when a guy who eats like this
is boycotting your dinner, then you know he's mad.
You know.
And, you know what, I'll be honest with you.
I think this is a good thing. I've always thought it was weird
that White House reporters spend an evening schmoozing
with the people they're supposed to be holding accountable.
Right? It just didn't make sense to me.
It would be like if the FBI and the mafia
had one day a year where they just go out to a fun brunch.
You know? Agent's just like,
"I hope the health inspector doesn't show up,
"'cause we sure got a lot of rats at this table.
"Looking at you, Vincenzo. Ha-ha-ha-ha!
"But, seriously, guys, thank you for everything that you do.
We appreciate you."
But the most important Trump beef right now
isn't with Twitter or the press.
No, it's with Congress.
Because in the wake of the Mueller report,
congressional Democrats are launching more investigations
into the Trump administration.
And, in response, Trump is launching his middle finger.
REPORTER: Battle lines. President Trump says no
to White House aides testifying to Congress
about the Mueller report.
Democrats ready for a fight.
REPORTER 2: The White House testing
the power of Congress today,
resisting a wave of subpoenas from House Democrats
and telling a former security director not to show up
for his scheduled testimony on security clearances.
Well, we're fighting all the subpoenas.
We have been-- I have been the most transparent president
and administration in the history of our country by far.
And I thought, after two years,
we'd be finished with it.
No. Now the House goes and starts subpoenaing.
I say it's enough.
Get back to infrastructure,
get back to cutting taxes,
get back to lowering drug prices.
That's what-- Really, that's what we should be doing.
"Now, if you'll excuse me,
"I have to go talk to Jack Dorsey
"about changing the Twitter logo from a bird
"to a T. rex. Much cooler animal, folks,
"with super normal hands.
Serious work."
That's right.
(cheering and applause)
Trump...
Trump is refusing to let anyone
from his administration testify in Congress.
Yeah. He won't let the guy who gave Jared Kushner
a security clearance testify.
He won't let the lawyer he told to fire Mueller testify.
The only person he'll let testify is Rudy Giuliani,
and that's because he never makes sense anyways.
Yeah. After five minutes in the hearing,
Congress will be like, "We have to evacuate the building.
"Must be a gas leak in here or something.
I don't know what's going on."
So Trump obviously thinks his officials
don't have to comply with these subpoenas.
And his war with the Democrats is getting so heated
that people are starting to talk
about potentially impeaching him,
which brings us to our final beef,
Trump versus the Constitution.
While Democrats in Congress are continuing to debate
whether or not they will move toward impeachment
of President Trump, Trump is drawing
a new line in the sand now.
REPORTER: Writing, "If the partisan Dems ever tried
to impeach, I would first head to the U.S. Supreme Court."
"If the Democrats impeach me,
I will head to the Supreme Court."
Just to be clear,
that's not a thing.
Okay? The Supreme Court
can't overrule an impeachment.
The two have nothing to do with one another.
This would be like if a cop gives you a ticket
and your response is, "I'm fighting this, buddy.
You'll be hearing from my orthodontist!"
