Claiming to be hosting a "social media summit", the con artist has refused to say who has been invited. Because, transparency. But some of those invited have crowed about it on anti-social media.
When asked about this "summit", spokesman Judd Deere referenced an online tool the White House released in May for people to report instances of perceived social media bias.
"After receiving thousands of responses, the President wants to engage directly with these digital leaders in a discussion on the power of social media," Deere said in the statement.
Because perception is everything, and when someone posting obvious lies is called out and prohibited from spreading the lies, it's obviously bias and has nothing to do with their lies.
Which raises the question, if you're not inviting representatives of the two largest anti-social media companies, one of whom the con artist uses regularly in his daily rants against anyone who says anything mean about him, then how can it me a "social media summit"?
It's almost as if the con artist has invited these people because a) he subscribes to their vitriolic lies and b) is discussing how they can spread more lies during the upcoming presidential election. Nah, the con artist wouldn't do that, would he?

Among them are Bill Mitchell, a radio host who has promoted the extremist QAnon conspiracy theory on Twitter; Carpe Donktum, an anonymous troll who won a contest put on by the fringe media organization InfoWars for an anti-media meme; and Ali Alexander, an activist who attempted to smear Sen. Kamala Harris by saying she is not an "American black" following the first Democratic presidential debates.
Other eyebrow raising attendees include James O'Keefe, the guerrilla journalist whose group Project Veritas tried to trick reporters at the Washington Post by planting a source who told the paper that she had been impregnated as a teenager by failed Republican Senate candidate Roy Moore; Charlie Kirk, the founder of the right-wing student group Turning Point USA who sometimes posts misleading information on social media; and Benny Johnson, the journalist-turned-activist who was fired for plagiarism by BuzzFeed and demoted at the Independent Journal Review for violating company standards.

While the summit will include right-wing media personalities and people from conservative think tanks, it will not include representatives from the major social media companies. As first reported by CNN, neither Twitter nor Facebook received invitations to the event.
