    Oh… ok.

    I am genuienly confused by this.

    First we had news the DoJ is pursuing a very aggressive penalty against Google, seeking to strip Chrome and possibly Android from them, force each to be spun off, old ma Bell style.

    Now Trump’s FTC is moving forward against MSFT.

    … The … these people were at his inauguration.

    These tech giants have all thrown their hats in the ring for Trump.

    … WTF is happening?

    Is there some kind of inner power struggle thing going on here, or is Trump just actually too stupid to even notice some of the most powerful people and groups that support him stand to get fucked by an FTC and DoJ pursuing anti monopoly type prosecutions?
