Trump, without evidence, accuses Google of 'very illegal' action ahead of election

Source: Reuters

WASHINGTON — U.S. President Donald Trump on Tuesday stepped up his accusations against Google, claiming without offering evidence that the technology company worked to subvert his 2016 presidential campaign and warning he was watching it "very closely" ahead of the 2020 election.

rump, in a series of early posts on Twitter, also slammed Google's Chief Executive Officer Sundar Pichai, and again raised questions about the search engine's work with China, despite his administration's earlier comments that any such work was limited.

"We go to great lengths to build our products and enforce our policies in ways that don't take political leanings into account," a Google spokesperson said in email statement.

Trump, who is seeking re-election in 2020, has repeatedly slammed Google and a host of other technology companies, echoing conservative critics' claims of unfair treatment and raising the specter of regulation.

...the guy who's probably smarter than any dozen of us put together. lol.

Anyplace he can go to plant some fear. There's probably some guy sitting in rural PA or KY or some other deep red state who googled Pichai, looked at his picture and said "that's f'cker took my job!!!!" lol

In his mental unbalance a world of 5 billion liberals and 10 conservatives, both should have equal time and space.

This is no different from a sports team committing 200 fouls a game while the other team commits 10. The 200 teams wants equal number of fouls called, the second wants them all called.

Trump is a lying, whining, complaining prick.

falsehoods, or worse. No wonder he's been losing court cases right and left. He takes unilateral action on his own (without researching whether his actions are legal or not). Many times, his actions are clearly illegal but this does not stop him.

Thank goodness that the courts are siding against him in increasing numbers and as the Nov. 2020 loom ever closer, judges will be eyeing this upcoming election and the next body of likely legislators as overwhelming anti-rump.

Believe Google/You Tube pulled down some really ugly Trump Ads last week after several You Tube Channels complained about the Algo's trampling their channels with ads.
