Trump may have won over much of Silicon Valley, but he continued to attack Google in an incoherent rant on Fox

    LOL

    “stop showing results that don’t say i’m awesome!!!”

    i almost said “what a goddamn child,” but that’s way too insulting to actual children. at least children have a legit excuse for acting like themselves

    Ahh, he’s rattling the CEOs who haven’t paid fealty yet.

    What is Racketeering, again?

      In the case of Google, not only have they not paid tribute, they vowed to actively suppress Trump/Republicans after the 2016 elections.

      Haven’t you been paying attention? The SCOTUS says bribes are legal if they are called “gratuities”. No wonder Trump wants to exempt tips from taxes, it’s how he intends to get paid by his main clients, Russia and Saudi Arabia.

    Lol, this fuckin’ guy. I swear. It must be so exhausting to be him. When god shows itself to be real and Trump actually dies, they’re gonna do an autopsy an him and they’re gonna cut open his skull to find a perfectly smooth lump resembling a brain. When they dissect it, the only thing in there is going to be Rube Goldberg-esqe machine that farts.

      Don’t underestimate him. He may sound like an idiot to us, but we aren’t his target audience. He doesn’t care what we think of him. He knows what his cult wants to hear and he’s plenty happy to chum the water to get them in a frenzy.

        No idiots there.

        He’s still not behind bars despite going to Epstein’s.

        Most of those who visited the place and probably do the bidding of people having the records are still anonymous.

        He is not. He’s literally the kind of person who can’t be blackmailed with that.

        That means he has power to support this behavior, we just don’t know what it is.

        I’d still be wary of trusting Harris and anyone of D establishment, let’s not forget that Trump got elected first time because of them. He shouldn’t become president, but Harris’ term should be used for a new major party to form IMHO, or it won’t get better.

        Of course, I’m typing this from Moscow, Russia, so take this with a grain of salt.

    How would that even work?

    Destroy the Google HQ, data centers, and assassinate it’s leadership?

    I mean he could maybe direct a Republican Congress to legislatively fine and tax Alphabet into the ground, but there are definitely a large number of Congress that have money in Alphabet.

    He can’t even come up with coherent rants, how could he come up with a way to fight someone as big as Alphabet.

      It’s been found to be a monopoly. I’m sure they’ll appeal, but we may find out what it looks like in our own lifetimes.

      Alphabet is largely guided by the intelligence community.

      This is consistent with Trump attacking the CIA and the deep state.

      i just don’t understand why

      We hate google for being a giant, evil corporation that bribes republicans to vote against things like net neutrality or privacy rights

      Why would a republican go after google? theyre on the same side

      Also, he, nor anybody else who would pursue something this dumb realize how many things run on google’s cloud, middleware, SaaS products, etc. His middle schooler mind thinks “google = google.com search,” when Alphabet’s business is so much bigger than that.

    Wouldn’t it be funny if anything Trump-related: His Truth Weird Social, the Republican Parties’ Websites, Fox “News”, the Trump Organisation, and whatever would suddenly get lost out of the Google database?

    I give it less than a week before Google donates a sizeable amount to one of his PACs and Donnie does a complete 180 on this.
