I agree that they need regulation probably never should’ve been allowed to get as big as they are. The near total lack of oversight as they’ve come to control giant portions of the economy is pretty worrying.
That’s sad I can’t agree with Trump on this because I know that he’s doing it for completely the wrong reasons. He sees them as political enemies and he wants them suppressed/controlled. I don’t believe he actually cares how big they are. That’s just the excuse.
This isn’t a “stopped clock is right twice a day“ thing.
You could come up with other reasons that I don’t necessarily agree with, say “tax dodging“, that I wouldn’t mind. If I agree with the goal and reason is just, even if it’s not my reason, that could be fine. There was something relatively small Trump did that I agreed with on these lines, though I don’t remember what it was.
This is a pure authoritarian threat. You don’t tie my line so I’ll find some justification to make you’re life hell.
