One for all the Trump supporters to think on

One of Trumps former serious staffers has stated that he believes Trump could shut down the internet if elected..I wont editorialize. Just read it yourselves and decided what you would do with all that free time. I will say that by my calculations, within weeks and "America Free" internet would be up and running in some form..😷

I don't see how he could get away with that. It would be like shutting down the electrical grid. He runs the risk of people just ignoring him.

@LeopoldBloom I don’t think he would shut down the internet. He uses it a lot for his own purposes. I just think he would try to punish tech companies that he doesn’t like somehow. Probably would somehow try to force them to allow hard right/alt right messaging content on their platforms.

@LeopoldBloom He couldnt. And if he managed it, the US economy would collapse.Almost all US commerce relies on internet connections . From banks and ATMs to Fed Ex and Amazon tracking..But like most things, he hasnt throught it through..😷

@LeopoldBloom @RockerDad I feel like you guys are underestimating the level of stupidity we're dealing with. He's not smart enough to realize it would be hurting him.
