(Bloomberg) -- The White House is considering a draft executive order for President Donald Trump that would instruct federal antitrust and law enforcement agencies to open probes into the practices of Alphabet Inc.’s Google, Facebook Inc., and other social media companies.

Bloomberg News obtained a draft of the order, which a White House official said was in its early stages and hasn’t been run past other government agencies. Separately, Lindsey Walters, deputy White House press secretary, said in an emailed statement that the document isn’t the result of an official White House policy making process.

The document instructs U.S. antitrust authorities to “thoroughly investigate whether any online platform has acted in violation of the antitrust laws.” It instructs other government agencies to recommend within a month after it’s signed, actions that could potentially “protect competition among online platforms and address online platform bias.”

Thank God!  :0001:  There are few men equal to the task of fixing social media, because few men have made it so horrible.  President Trump will drain the swamp of the internet, because he knows better than anyone how he made it so swampy.

Social media has tried to censor the patriotic voices of confederate statue supporters, pro-run over Antifa, Alex Jones, and QAnon...requiring those voices to flee to a competing platform.  THIS IS CALLED A MONOPOLY!!!   President Trump has the support of all the Conservatives, Republicans, and Americans, in this great country who have said no to the Fake News, GOPe, Deep State, rats, and the very, very sad losers. 

I am extremely excited to see President Trump not content with just locking up Hitlery, building the wall, draining the swamp (deep state, GOPe, rats),  restoring admiration for America, repealing and fixing Obamacare, saving the unborn, and huge progress in “reduce our $18 trillion in debt.”  When our economy turned around after 8 years of mismanagement by Obama, President Trump fixed that by raising taxes on American consumers.  American success stories Facebook and Google are about to get fixed too.
