Donald Trump unleashed a tirade against Google during a Friday interview with Fox Business host Maria Bartiromo, accusing the platform of refusing to apologize for blocking some results related to his attempted assassination.

In the segment, in which Trump attempted to outline the dangers of AI before Bartiromo redirected him to the subject of big tech companies, Trump went after the search engine.

Noting that Facebook representatives called him to apologize for flagging some posts featuring photos of his assassination attempt with fact checks, Trump said, “Google, nobody called from Google,” before unloading on the tech company.

In the rant, slammed by the Harris campaign as “unintelligible,” Trump seemingly, though not clearly, accused the search engine of biased search result ranking, a complaint he espoused nearly six years ago.

Trump goes on unintelligible rant: “Google, nobody called from Google. One of the things like doing a show like yours, your show, you know, you see it on Fox, but when you really see it is all over the place, they take clips of your show that you're doing right now with me and if I do a good job, they're gonna vote for me, they're gonna vote for me because it's not just on Fox, it's on Fox is a smaller part of it. You're on all over this, those little beautiful cell phones you're on, you're all over the place. You have a product, you have a great product. You have a great brand. So you have to get out, you have to get out, you have to do things like your show and other shows and Google has been very bad. They've been very irresponsible and I have a feeling that Google is gonna be close to shut down”

But to the media, that gobbledygook is normal and acceptable discourse, and not subject to any criticism at all, let alone considered "dementia", or some other armchair diagnosis that they insisted upon for 3 weeks, 24/7 with respect to Biden.

1. So the Felon (R) claims Zucky (R) is kissing his ass

What a surprise

[Brainfodder]

2. I only got one thing to say to this madness until Nov 5th

MUHAHAHA!

1-2-34 counts!

MUHAHAHA!

[Brainfodder]

3. This doubling down on WEIRD, while denying it, some people tell me STFU, but you can't & let the accidental comedy roll!

MUHAHAHA!

[BlueWavePsych]

4. "praised Elon Musk and X, as Musk throws cash behind a PAC supporting his re-election bid."

[Hermit-The-Prog]

5. Why isn't CNN, ABC, CBS, NBC, PBS calling on weird and creepy old Sleepy Don to step aside?

[liberalgunwilltravel]

6. That would be bad

We need to crush him and his minions at the ballot box. And in the streets, if they don’t accept their defeat.

[jujubeets]

7. Say what

Please clarify.

[johnnyfins]

8. True. Im hoping Joe wont hesitate to

Invoke the Insurrection Act if they try their bullshit again. Arrest first, ask questions later.

[Hermit-The-Prog]

9. Yes, but M$M is showing their bias and their agenda by the extremely unequal treatment.

[ArkansasDemocrat1]

35. I loathe them n/t

[speak easy]

30. "Why isn't CNN, ABC, CBS, NBC, PBS calling on weird and creepy old Sleepy Don to step aside?"

Because he has been nominated. Joe Biden had not.

[Hermit-The-Prog]

33. Uh-huh. Riight.

[twodogsbarking]

10. Could you repeat your answer.

[ancianita]

11. lol Good luck with shutting down the biggest search engine on the planet.

[ret5hd]

26. "data miner". you misspelled "data miner".

[MoseShrute]

12. Fascist gonna fascist

What exactly was Google supposed to block? It’s still clear that in spite of his rhetoric about Project 2025 not being his agenda, DonOLD is still wanting to shut down any media source that doesn’t kiss his fat, nasty, WEIRD ass.

[Auggie]

13. "Ahh, but the strawberries! That's where I had them."

"They laughed at me and made jokes, but I proved beyond the shadow of a doubt and with geometric logic that a duplicate key to the wardroom icebox did exist. And I'd have produced that key if they hadn't've pulled the Caine out of action. I, I, I know now they were only trying to protect some fellow officers ..."

[EX500rider]

28. lol

[Discussing Captain Queeg's sanity]
Lieutenant Tom Keefer: Will you look at the man? He's a Freudian delight; he crawls with clues!

[Auggie]

29. +1

[twodogsbarking]

14. Is he shutting down Google before or after he shuts down democracy?

[mwb970]

15. Pure gibberish.

I've heard clearer commentary from three-year-olds.

[Farmer-Rick]

16. Good example of why

Authoritarian regimes are so awful for economic growth.

They react on whims. Entire companies are crushed if they don't bend the knee to the dear leader.

So, Facebook is loving all the Russian troll money they are getting for letting Russia propagandize to their customers. Leave it to the filthy-rich Zuckerberg to know whose ass to kiss.

But Google is out because they are providing reality based reesults? What, didn't they rig searches enough for Pedo Trump to look less weird? Did they not take Russian propaganda money?

It's all weird nonsense based on the King's whims.

[tanyev]

17. I like presidents who speak coherently and in complete sentences.

[ArkansasDemocrat1]

36. I like presidents who don't have 34 felony convictions n/t

[Mr. Mustard 2023]

18. The point is good, but...

..."unintelligible" has no punch.

Replace unintelligible with "idiotic" or other simpler, well known insulting word.

Bring it down to eight grade level, almost playground words Democratic operatives.

However, WELL DONE in general. Keep up the good work, just don't get cute or use words with more than three syllables.

[BumRushDaShow]

24. It has to be more nuanced though

because the harshest words have been "normalized" and the media have subsequently sensitized people to those terms, so the stronger terms are ignored or dismissed as "hubris".

That is why "weird" worked because it came out of left field and gave us a way to isolate and identify the GOP's whole shtick, behavior, and talking points, as "abnormal" and an "odd sideshow".

[bucolic_frolic]

19. Everyone is SEO, but all I get are 7, 10, 15 year old results.

[AllyCat]

20. Corporations technically not supposed to be voting.

Hmmm…an admission? Or just his unconnected noodle falling out his ears again?

[Joinfortmill]

21. As Freud might have said, 'you're all Id, man'. Trump's executive functions have rotted out.

[wolfie001]

22. That's the most Putanic thing fatso could ever say

What a clown and buffoon!!! Keep the mic in front of that walking turd-mass.

[myohmy2]

23. they...

..keep cutting this senile old bastard slack...

"But to the media, that gobbledygook is normal and acceptable discourse, and not subject to any criticism at all, let alone considered "dementia", or some other armchair diagnosis that they insisted upon for 3 weeks, 24/7 with respect to Biden."

...they want a fascist state...

...it's hard to explain the demise of credible news and reporting other than money...it's all political hackdom...

...if it was up to me, something would be close to 'shut down' but it wouldn't be Google...

...

[twodogsbarking]

25. Definitely sharks. If sharks eat Trump there is nothing left. If he is electrocuted then we still have a corpse.

[Oak2004]

34. Sharks are not above a bit of scavenging

We could have _both_ .

[Zoomie1986]

27. Google owes you nothing, you sniveling weirdo

They had nothing to do with what happened, or with people talking about it.

[Harker]

31. Very bad Trumpsky is about to be shut down...

so it's merely more projection.

[mahina]

32. That's a threat.

[ArkansasDemocrat1]

37. By now, it's who hasn't yet been threatened who need to get a clue n/t

[FakeNoose]

38. So he equates Google with Facebook, is that the takeaway here?

... and I highly doubt that Mark Zuckerberg ever called Chump for any reason, let alone to "apologize" to him.

[Jk23]

39. Trump goes on unintelligible rant: is the start of every story about him. NT
