Twitter leader laments social media role in Trump’s election

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — 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.

The president has credited Twitter with his election to the highest office in the land.

When confronted with that notion, Williams said: “If it’s true that  he wouldn’t be president if it weren’t for Twitter, then yeah, I’m  sorry.”
