Donald Trump’s 26-year-old daughter Tiffany made a rare speech at the Republican Convention on Tuesday night in which she slammed the media and technology companies, suggesting they were keeping Americans “mentally enslaved”.
In her fiery speech, the US president’s youngest daughter said: “Rather than allowing Americans the right to form our own beliefs, this misinformation system keeps people mentally enslaved to the ideas they deem correct. This has fostered unnecessary fear and divisiveness amongst us.”
She added: “People must recognise that our thoughts, opinions, and even the choice of who we vote for are being manipulated and invisibly coerced by the media and tech giants.”
The comments, which echoed rhetoric frequently used by her father, could be taken as a reference to recent actions by Twitter and Facebook to label inaccurate or misleading social media posts by Mr Trump and his campaign.

In This Story: Vote
Voting is a method for a group, such as a meeting or an electorate, in order to make a collective decision or express an opinion usually following discussions, debates or election campaigns. Democracies elect holders of high office by voting. Residents of a place represented by an elected official are called “constituents”, and those constituents who cast a ballot for their chosen candidate are called “voters”. There are different systems for collecting votes, but while many of the systems used in decision-making can also be used as electoral systems, any which cater for proportional representation can only be used in elections.
In smaller organizations, voting can occur in different ways. Formally via ballot to elect others for example within a workplace, to elect members of political associations or to choose roles for others. Informally voting could occur as a spoken agreement or as a verbal gesture like a raised hand or electronically.
