But Trump was the first president (since the US tried to break up Microsoft) to seriously start thinking about fighting big tech. Obviously for dumb reasons (they hurt his feelings) but still, I don't think that statement is inaccurate. However, it is true he isn't the first politician to say something against big tech. Even so, he was in a position of power to potentially do something about it (even if he never did and likely won't now given how much they are bending the knee)
