Donald Trump has apparently gone so far off the deep end that not even Fox News can handle it anymore. Earlier today, Trump’s hatred for the “fake news” media turned to social media networks and Google, resulting in some of the most asinine tweets the president has ever posted. Just see for yourself:
Google search results for “Trump News” shows only the viewing/reporting of Fake News Media. In other words, they have it RIGGED, for me & others, so that almost all stories & news is BAD. Fake CNN is prominent. Republican/Conservative & Fair Media is shut out. Illegal? 96% of….

….results on “Trump News” are from National Left-Wing Media, very dangerous. Google & others are suppressing voices of Conservatives and hiding information and news that is good. They are controlling what we can & cannot see. This is a very serious situation-will be addressed!

Yes, the president is accusing Google of rigging its search results to make him look bad. Later in the day, Trump doubled down during a pool spray with reporters, where he told lies about his border wall and once again lashed out at Google for being “biased.” This was all too much for Fox News’ Shepard Smith, who had a meltdown trying to digest what just happened. Baffled, the Fox host said, “What is he talking about?!:”
This new thing, today’s new thing, not a thing, but a thing. ‘Google is taking advantage of a lot of people. Google, Facebook and Twitter, you can’t do that to people. They’re treading on troubled territory.’ Which means nothing. John Roberts, what is––what is he talking about? Treading on troubled territory? You can’t do that? Do what to people?!”
Smith continued on to say that Trump’s real issues have nothing to do with Google, Facebook, or Twitter. Reading between the lines, Smith said:
What he doesn’t like is the news. It’s not the people who are delivering it or the platforms on which they receive it. It seems to be the news itself, because around there, the news is not good except the fake news. The fake news seems to be pretty good for him. The real news seems to be unpleasant.”
After the discussion about Trump’s claims of one-sided news coverage, Smith concluded by reading Trump’s words again, stunned by how little sense it all makes:
Google search results for ‘Trump News’ shows only the viewing/reporting of Fake News Media,” Trump tweeted earlier. “In other words, they have it RIGGED, for me & others, so that almost all stories & news is BAD. Fake CNN is prominent. Republican/Conservative & Fair Media is shut out. Illegal? 96% of results on ‘Trump News’ are from National Left-Wing Media, very dangerous. Google & others are suppressing voices of Conservatives and hiding information and news that is good. They are controlling what we can & cannot see. This is a very serious situation-will be addressed!”
