Twitter co-founder apologizes for helping elect Trump


  • Evan Williams apologized if Twitter helped out Donald Trump in the White House 
  • President has credited Twitter with his election to the highest office in the land
  • The 45-year-old entrepreneur said he also believes the internet is broken
  • He believes things are getting worse, as people use Facebook to record in real-time, suicides, beatings and murder



  • A co-founder of Twitter says he's sorry if the popular social media platform helped put Donald Trump in the White House, as the president has suggested.
    Evan Williams said Twitter's role in Trump's populist rise is 'a very bad thing', during an interview with the New York Times. The president has credited Twitter with his election to the highest office in the land.
    Trump told Fox News in March: 'I think that maybe I wouldn't be here if it wasn't for Twitter, because I get such a fake press, such a dishonest press.'
    When confronted with the notion that Twitter played a part in helping Trump get elected, Williams said: 'If it's true that he wouldn't be president if it weren't for Twitter, then yeah, I'm sorry.'
