President Trump said Wednesday that Facebook was against him in the 2016 campaign, despite the revelation that the social media giant published thousands of ads purchased by a Russian entity.

“Facebook was always anti-Trump,” the president tweeted. “The Networks were always anti-Trump hence, Fake News, @nytimes(apologized) & @WaPo [Washington Post] were anti-Trump. Collusion?”

He added, “But the people were Pro-Trump! Virtually no President has accomplished what we have accomplished in the first 9 months-and economy roaring.”
