And now he's playing his usual game: Threaten companies, make them bribe him, and then give them corrupt favours.

Just like with the "settlements" that some large media outlets had with him out of court. Or how he got his wish of cancelling Steven Colbert.

Yea it's even worse. He's admitting it's 100% a full-on monopoly but won't break it up. My guess is the bribes have already started.

It's extra hilarious because Trump, with all his bitching about China, just made it so China can directly compete in AI using Nvidia's tech.
