His angle may be the social media platforms because they have the power to skew elections, especially with the mid-terms coming up and his running again in 2020. The next monopoly to be broken up should be the MSM, for the same reason.

Trump going after google/facebook is encouraging but he still seems to be falling short of the true problem, each of these corporations is too big. Does he avoid that issue because corporations that he does favor are too big too? Monopolies are only a problem when they campaign against him?
An antitrust investigation of these info monopolies is long over due. How many of their free market competitors did they buy out to give themselves total control? Why is that question of total control of the free market not being addressed? How about the direct link to major media outlets merging into mega corporations lately? I suspect the problem is they all own a piece of each other, and you can't break up one member of the fortune 500, without breaking them all up.
