President Donald Trump reignited his feud with Twitter on Monday, suggesting that the website's trending topics section is "illegal" because the topics and content that appear there make him look bad.

"So disgusting to watch Twitter's so-called 'Trending', where sooo many trends are about me, and never a good one. They look for anything they can find, make it as bad as possible, and blow it up, trying to make it trend. Really ridiculous, illegal, and, of course, very unfair!" Trump tweeted.
