False dichotomy. You're going on the presentation that that's all he does. He does not. He also blabbers because narcissism

well that is not the only example, there are many, so many it is a regular meme of sorts.

but you are spot on re: the narcissism.

It is not the job of google to censor the news in Trumps favor.

Right but what he does is exploit Cunningham's Law:

"the best way to get the right answer on the internet is not to ask a question; it's to post the wrong answer."

He post nonsense or a lie and "offended" people will crawl out of the woodwork to correct him and simultaneously force correct facts into the spotlight. So what he's doing here (himself being the subject being inconsequential) is pointing out that massive censorship and lies are being put out and manipulated in the search results. Someone will get a bug up their butt and try to come up with some data on it, find out that, yes, google is manipulating search results in a "bad way" even if it isn't Trump.

Now that's not to say that he isn't dictatorial in his perception of what people can say. God knows he is. But this time he's using Cunningham's Law. He tweets, people scatter after it like a laser pointer for a cat (as the cliche now goes).

Which brings the conversation around to my original comment, just not as succinct.
