US President Donald Trump has accused Google of rigging the search results against him in a series of Tweets earlier today. Trump said that the news shown on Google were biased against him and called it a serious problem that needs addressing.
Not only that, Trump also mentioned the names of several news agencies that he thinks might be involved.
Google search results for “Trump News” shows only the viewing/reporting of Fake New 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…

In the subsequent tweet, Trump said that “Google & others are suppressing voices of Conservatives and hiding information and news that is good”.
….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!

Earlier Trump said that Social media is silencing the voice of millions of people. These statements sound controversial as Trump earlier blamed EU for fining Google and called Google one of America’s great company.
I told you so! The European Union just slapped a Five Billion Dollar fine on one of our great companies, Google. They truly have taken advantage of the U.S., but not for long!

This is not the first time Donald Trump has given controversial statements, especially on Twitter. However, Trump needs to show some proof to back such serious allegations against Google if he wants to deal with the “problem”.
