Hillary Clinton couldn’t contain her glee at Big Tech’s ban of President Trump on Friday, less than two weeks before his term expires.

STAY TUNED.
Hollywood has joined Clinton in rejoicing over the ban, while House Republicans expressed outrage, likening the day’s latest events to a dystopian novel.
