The moron in the Oval Office watched “Lou Dobbs” last night and got a bee in his bonnet about the Google search results for “Trump News.” Now he’s threatening to “regulate” Google’s search engine. No, really:
WASHINGTON – White House economic adviser Larry Kudlow said Tuesday that President Donald Trump is considering new regulations on Google’s search engine to address his concern that it turns up too many stories that are critical of him.
Pressed by reporters at the White House on Tuesday about a tweet the president wrote criticizing Google’s search engine as “rigged,” the director of Trump’s National Economic Council said the administration is “taking a look” at federal regulations for the company.
“We’ll let you know,” he said.
Even the not terribly bright Chris Cillizza was able to vaporize this embarrassingly foolish complaint, pointing out the idiotic premises on which it rests, which include profound ignorance of how search engines work and a media ranking system devised by a crackpot that classifies “news” from Alex Jones as “center right.”
Sweet Fancy Moses, fellow citizens, we are living in the stupidest of timelines. Open thread.
