Trump Complains to Google CEO About Search Results, Citing Bias Against Him

[Social Media]

  

In a recent interview with Bloomberg News, former President Donald Trump revealed that he had contacted Google CEO Sundar Pichai to express frustration over what he perceived as biased search results. Trump claimed that the tech giant was suppressing positive stories about him.

 

Speaking at an event hosted by the Economic Club of Chicago on October 15, Trump told Bloomberg News' editor-in-chief, John Micklethwait, about his interaction with Pichai. "I'm getting a lot of good stories lately, but you don't find them in Google," Trump explained. "I think it's a whole rigged deal. I think Google's rigged just like our government is rigged."

 

Trump elaborated on his dissatisfaction, asserting that the search engine displayed mostly negative coverage about him. "They only have bad stories. In other words, if I have 20 good stories and 20 bad stories, and everyone's entitled to that, you'll only see the 20 bad stories," he said during the interview.

 

The comments from the former president highlight his long-standing tension with major technology companies, particularly regarding how information about him is handled. Trump has frequently accused tech companies of having a bias against him and conservative voices, a claim that has been consistently echoed by his supporters. On the other hand, these tech companies have repeatedly denied any bias. 

 

In August, Trump warned that Google would "pay a big price" after claims emerged suggesting that the tech company allowed the Harris-Walz campaign to use altered headlines in paid Google ads. His concerns with Google are not entirely new; back in 2017, before his Twitter (now X) account was banned, Trump suggested that there was collusion between Facebook and mainstream media, tweeting that "Facebook was always anti-Trump."

 

During his conversation with Micklethwait, Trump did not limit his criticism to Google's handling of his search results. When asked about the possibility of breaking up Alphabet, Google's parent company, Trump remarked: "Google's got a lot of power. They're very bad to me—very, very bad to me." However, he stopped short of making an explicit call to dismantle the company, leaving the door open for potential actions by stating, "I'd do something."

 

Newsweek reached out to both Google and Trump's representatives for comments on the matter, but no responses have been provided.

Perhaps what Trump considers a 'good story' about himself is actually a 'not so good' story in the eyes of others except him and MAGA. As usual, he thinks the world keeps rotating because of him. He should try speaking truth instead  of lies, racism, threats and hatred and then maybe he'll get some better search results.

Trump is the weakest little bit** in America. This man has no shame.

It's just not fair, don't they know who I am?

Don't they know how great I am?

Don't they know that I am the most incredible human being on the planet?

Don't they realize I'm the smartest guy in America? Don't they know how handsome I am?

 

I'm am so confused, flustered, unhappy and bitter, and I don't understand why everyone doesn't love me. I realize I am a hate filled man. Maybe that is part of it. But, it hurts my brain to think too deeply. Not in my nature.

If you had a sense of morals, you would know that Trump is right.  Actually, you probably know he is right but you can't change your stance.  So petty.

[Skeptic7]

More fitting headline...

 

Trump Complains About EVERYTHING...

...unless it's favorable to/for him

 

Whiny little bitch. 

[daveAustin]

A thin-skinned twit he may be, but he may indirectly have a point. There probably aren’t many good stories about him, but Google search seems to have gotten less reliable over the years. It typically goes firstly with what most people are searching for, and it has become harder to pull out more obscure stuff accurately. Perhaps partly because there is so much junk on there nowadays, albeit other search engines often do better. Google probably has a bit of an agenda like every other mainstream thing, news or otherwise, today. 
 

Bottom line: If you’re in such a position, or a celebrity, and don’t like criticism, best to keep internet/social media use to a minimum.  🙂

Morals in defense of trump are you kidding?trump is a whiney bitch.hes had everything in life handed to him on a silver platter and squandered it….morals indeed!

Google is becoming unusable unless you want left wing propaganda.

 

I often have to get to the third or fourth page to find negative articles about left wing politicians or their drug taking, gun toting, laptop repairing offspring even when I type very specific terms.

 

Can't wait for Musk's TruthGPT.

To be fair to him it is a common trait with Americans who have convinced themselves how great they are. They are always bragging and big noting despite a large proportion being as dumb as rocks.

 

That is why he is so popular with millions of followers, even his slogan Make America Great Again. American people love it.

 

i would be embarrassed to be an American.

Trump whining, as usual! 😁

[WDSmart]

Lock Trump up!

[herfiehandbag]

The difference between Trumps airplane and it's owner?

 

The aircraft stops making a whining noise when it is on the ground.

 

I understand that Elon Musk is making a quantity of Tesla cars available to the Trump campaign. Some concern was expressed that their silent progress may be dangerous, but eventually it was agreed that the constant whining noise would give adequate warning of their approach!

Using the word morals and Trump in the same sentence is highly amusing.

Why waste your time?

If you’re searching is political in nature,

just put fox news or new york post at the beginning or another “AN”allowable conservative news outlet .

TruthGPT would be nice also when & If…

Was just dialing X.com and Truth Social to complain over bias towards Trump. But then remembered who owns them...

 

But seriously - Trump is in the news 24/7 all over the Globe. I am confident if you picked random 1000 individuals spread all around the World, they'd all recognise Donald, but some might have a challenge with the photo of Kamala...
