Yes it's true. The Trump administration initiated the first major antitrust lawsuit against Google in 2020.

But it doesn't make up for the myriad of other shitty things he's done. Keeping Lina Kahn on would have been the absolute easiest way to assuage public concern, if he actually gave a fuck.
Or like, telling Musk and Zuck to get fucked.
Mostly I remember him getting angry at all the fact checking bots (election, Russia, etc) that Twitter, Facebook, and Google introduced and that was one of the ways to go after them.
I don't really care what the reason is, personally.
Well sure, but if he's going after then because they are big corporations, fine. But it's another thing if he's going after certain big corporations because they are an inconvenience/opposed to him. He's going to stop going after the big tech companies once in they are in line with him... Like stopping fact checking and what not.
