Trump touts ‘more powerful’ second term with blunt Google remark
What Happened
US President Trump, speaking at a rally in Kentucky, claimed that Google treats him with far greater deference in his second term. He said the company would not have taken his call during his first presidency, but now “they kiss my ass.” Trump made the remark while arguing that his second term is more powerful and highlighting his administration’s decision to rename the Gulf of Mexico as the Gulf of America.
Key Takeaways
The remark was Trump’s characterization of his influence over Google, not evidence in the cited report of any specific concession or policy change by the company.
