Trump claims Google is suppressing positive news about him and ‘will be addressed’
Verge Play , President Trump escalated their claims.
Trump suggested that not only was there a tendency for tech companies to suppress right-wing voices, but that Google has “rigged” its search results to only show negative reporting about him. The president added that Google and others were “hiding information and news that is good,” and said that this was “very serious situation” that “will be addressed.”

Similarly, Trump’s use of the term “fake news” is pretty meaningless here (and has been for a long time), as the president has a habit of dismissing any coverage critical of him as false.
