  • I’ve seen people dismiss this as purely praise for Slater (about whom I know nothing), but it’s very hard not to read these statements from the tweet:

    Great pick by @realDonaldTrump.

    He likes that Gail Slater was given a prominent role. Fair enough – the ping of Trump’s account seems pandering, but it’s not exactly a million-dollar donation to his inauguration.

    10 years ago, Republicans were the party of big business and Dems stood for the little guys, but today the tables have completely turned.

    Implies Republicans look to promote small businesses against tech monopolies. Demonstrably not the case.

    People forget that the current antitrust actions against Big Tech were started under the first Trump admin.

    Suggests the Trump Admin are the bastions against Silicon Valley giants. Completely laughable.
