Facebook is the reason that Trump got elected?? This is possibly the most asinine thing I've heard in a very long time.
Trump got elected for several reasons, and Facebook had nothing to do with it.
1. H. Clinton was perhaps the worse presidential candidate in the history of the Republic. She rarely if ever campaigned in the all important Rust Belt states, she could not even articulate a reason, when asked, about why she wanted to be President.
2. She and her husband were sitting on a very suspect war chest of like $168mil US...remember, these were the same people who complained 15 years earlier when Bill left the Presidential digs that they were like totally broke with little or no savings.
So this couple had earned WELL over $160mil (not counting their quite significant expenses) in 15 years since Bill left office? Why? Why in the world were so many people just giving them millions of dollars?
To many a hard-working US voters who have struggled their entire lives to save a small amount for retirement, this smelled of "pay to play" on-the-come corruption...and she didn't even try to hide it!
For these reasons, and several more but I don't have the time to post them, H. Clinton did not get elected President in 2016,
Just to keep the record straight.
