President Trump has made an appointment that has great panic technology

President Donald Trump took one of the best and most consistent decisions of his second term: the technology lawyer to take advantage of Gail Slater to direct the antimonopoly division of his Department of Justice.

Most likely you have never heard of Slater. But the Lawyers, lobbyists and aroused billionaires of the largest technology companies in the United States have. Be sure that within a few minutes of the Slater nomination, Silicon Valley flew to slack chats, zoom calls and emergency meetings.

Big Tech’s great hope for 2025, which for all Trump’s populist rhetoric, a Republican president would never challenge the big businesses, vanished. After years of consumer abuse, market manipulation and political betrayal, Google, Apple, Amazon, Meta, and the other technological giants of the Nation will finally face their calculations.

Bondi swore as a attorney general with the mission of ending the ‘weapon’ of the Department of Justice

Gail Slater is that calculation.

Because Slater is not just an expert in competence and antimonopoly law, completely qualified to lead the Division. Nor is it just an consummated lawyer with experience in private practice and two branches of the government. No, what makes Slater’s curriculum stand out, and what hits the great technological executives, is that he worked for years behind the silicon curtain. He has held high -level positions in the main technology and telecommunications companies, and even the commercial association of the Internet industry.

Slater arose from these experiences, behind the enemy lines, so to speak, as the conservative antimonopoopoopoolio hawk of principles more knowledgeable in principles in Washington.

She is one of the few in the right -wing antitrust circles that understands what antitrust statutes They are for: not irritating obstacles for businesses to be woven and dodged, but comprehensive components of defending a fair and robust free market, one where large and small participants can compete for their merits and prosper.

Although Silicon Valley is paying some groups of policies financed by industry in Washington to combine it with the populist left, Slater’s ideology is different. Its approach to the antimonopoly law is not based on values, nor is it too loaded in favor of speculative economic jargon.

Rather, Slater continues the tradition of John Sherman, the republican antitrust pro-lincoln and anti-scam of Ohio who lent his name to the founding antitrust statute , and a goal of maintaining the market open to all newcomers, not only those who can buy their way through the labyrinth of the Government of Rules, Regulations and Regulators.

What Slater understands, and what many republican and elite legal ideologues still refuse to see, is that distorted and tyrannized capitalism is not the same as free enterprise. Private companies, when they are large enough, are as able to deform the market as the government. Antimonopoly law is about freedom, not esoteric technicalities and price models. Its central function (such as the Constitution itself) is to protect the American people from centralized hazards, Inexplicable power.

And centralized and inexplicable power is precisely what the great technological lords about our society today. The famous consumer friendly innovations that made these companies successful in past decades are relics of a past age. The business model after Big Tech innovation today: screen and porn screen, propaganda aroused, partisan censorship, privacy violations at an industrial scale and predatory acquisitions of starting competitors) is a threat not only for our market economy, but our whole way of life.

Donald Trump gets this. He often expresses his criticisms of the great technology as defenses of “small technology.” He knows how the anti -competitive executives of large companies behave when they think they can get their way. And he knows that regulatory micrognition often leads to regulatory capture. The antitrust application, decentralizing the abusive concentrations of economic power, is the only real and permanent way to protect the US people from corporate oligarchs.

Trump’s Gail Slater appointment is the safest sign that he plans United: Big Ag, Big Banks, Big Pharma and resting.

The corporate media are framing the Slater nomination as an escalation of a battle started during the Biden years. In truth, it represents the return of the United States for a long time to a battle that began more than two centuries ago: the battle of the humble families against the corrupt elites determined to subjugate them.

The antitrust application is not a “repression”, it is its own defense. We are already living in the world that Big Tech imposed us. We have the toxic political culture, the youth mental health crisis, the censorship regime and the strangled innovation economy to demonstrate it.

He American people Do not trust Big Tech. And they do not trust the federal government in part because it has not protected us from Big Tech. “Trust of trust” today could be better described as “distrust of distrust”: Washington finally increases to defend our economy and Our people of political, economic and cultural predators billions of dollars.

President Trump understands that the future of American freedom depends on finally killing this dragon. Gail Slater is just the Knight of Labor.
