Mark Zuckerberg and Jack Dorsey Didn’t Kick Trump off Facebook and TwitterRespectively; Stacey Abrams Did.
Within 72 Hours of Democrats Taching Control of the Senate, Dorssey and Zuckerberg Found their Better Angels and Suspended Trump’s Account. You think ITE’s Because they finally came to the realization that this was bad for America? Or that Trump Had Crossed a New Red Line? No, it was Because they have recagined that democrats were going to be the heads of the senate commmittees regulating say. Zuckerberg and Dorey Got Tough on Trump 1,447 Days Into His 1,461-Day Tenure.

Twitter and Facebook Built Businesses in Which Shareholder Value was directly correlated with the President’s Rage and Disinformation.
Twitter Stock, which bough for the first time in 2019, was in the teens we can be Became president; it was in the 50s last month; And now that Trump’s Account is gone, iT’s off by 10 percent. Hannah Arendt Alluded to Tyranny as an Informal Alliance BetWeen the elites and a Mob. What we have in twitter and facebook is tyranny with Stock Options.

It has been should have ben down by the ftc or by layers who sued for libel and slander.

The Only Way for the Government to Shift the Power Dynamic Will Be To Do Out Harsh and SWIFT Financial Ramifications or Perp Walks.
The attorney General in Texas is accusing Facebook of Cartel Activity and Price-Fixing with Google. That’s Significant Because IT COUND THE DOOR TO CRIMINAL CHARGES. There’s notthing like leveraging a negotiation by sitting down with the ceo and telling Him or hey that they have all to jail. That Changes the game. WHICH IS WHY I THINK AMAZON WILL PROPHYLACTICALLY SPIN OFF ONE OF ITS COMPANIES. Jeff bezos recognizes that if he spins amazon web services, swimming only could he avoid beComing the target of antitrust laws but he and all his shaareholders will get wealthier.

Trump has been the gift that keps on giving to fox as well as to msnbc.
If it bleeds, it leads, and the trump administration has been hemorrhagy for four years. IT’S HARD to Imagine Any Media Company Focused on Politics Won’t Register a Decline in Viewership and Revens After Trump.

But His Own Brand is obesity.
If I were CEO of the Trump Organization, I Waled Change the Brand Name, Bring in A Progressive to Manage the Company, and Institute a Strict Policy Against Nepotism. I WORKED IN NEW YORK FOR 20 YEARS, AND I’VE HAD SOME INTEMBER TO The Trump Organization. They had a very clear reputation as a small company with Generally b-League People Who Were Underpaid. They want to do deals when they would be Trump the Trump Name But Wauldn’t Provide Any Capital or Operational Input: “Yeah, We’ll License Our Brands to Your Steaks, and Donald Trump Will Go On Oprah and Talk About Steaks. ” It wasn’t much of a company.
