By Michael Hernandez</p> <p>WASHINGTON (AA) – U.S. President Donald Trump and Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey met Tuesday after the president unleashed a tirade against the social media platform. </p> <p>Trump did not specify what they discussed during their closed-door Oval Office meeting other than saying they addressed "lots of subjects" regarding Twitter and social media more broadly. </p> <p>He did not elaborate but just hours earlier struck a much harsher tone, unleashing a tweet storm against the microblogging website that alleged it is biased against conservatives. </p> <p>"They don’t treat me well as a Republican," Trump lamented of Twitter. "Very discriminatory, hard for people to sign on. Constantly taking people off list. Big complaints from many people."</p> <p>It is unclear what list Trump was suggesting Twitter is "taking people" off of, but he and other conservatives have claimed the microblogging website censors them.</p> <p>Trump has suggested that government regulation of the platform may be necessary, hinting at such a measure by saying in his morning series of tweets that it is "No wonder Congress wants to get involved – and they should."</p> <p>"Must be more, and fairer, companies to get out the WORD!" Trump said. </p> <p>Twitter has adamantly denied it is biased.</p> <p>Tuesday's meeting was first confirmed by Vice magazine’s Motherboard website.
