President Donald Trump made one of the best and most important decisions in his second term: Attack tech lawyer Gail Slater leads his Justice Department’s antitrust segment department.
Most likely, you’ve never heard of Slater. But attorneys, lobbyists and awakening billionaires of the nation’s largest tech companies have it. Rest assured that within minutes of Slater’s nomination, Silicon Valley flew to panic slack chats, zoom calls and emergency meetings.
Big Tech’s Great Hope for 2025 – For all Trump’s populist rhetoric, the Republican president will never really challenge big businesses. After years of consumer abuse, market manipulation and political betrayal, Google, Apple, Amazon, Meta and other U.S. tech giants will eventually face their estimates.
Bondy is sworn in as Attorney General, tasked to terminate the Justice Department’s “weaponization”
Gail Slater is that kind of algorithm.
For Slater, it was not only a competitive and antitrust law expert, but also qualified to lead the department. She is not just an accomplished lawyer with experience in private practice and experience in two government branches. No, what made Slater’s Rusumé stand out (and the intestinal stabbing of the big technician) was her years behind the silicon curtains. She has held senior positions in major technology and telecommunications companies, and even trade associations in the Internet industry.
Slater emerged from these experiences – like the enemy’s line behind, is Washington’s most knowledgeable and principled conservative antitrust Hawk.
She is one of the few right-wing antitrust circles to understand the purpose of antitrust regulations: not stimulating businesses to weave and avoid corporate obstacles, but maintaining an overall component of a fair and robust free market. Participants can compete with their own merits and Prosperous.
While some industry-funded policy groups in Silicon Valley are paying Washington for the left with the populist ones, Slater’s ideology is very different. Her attitude towards antitrust law is not based on values and does not support speculative economic terms very much.
Instead, Slater continues John Sherman, an anti-slavery Republican in Ohio who lends his name to The establishment of the state antitrust regulations: suspicion of centralized powers outside the government and targets, and a goal, and a goal to open the market to all participants, not just those that can be purchased through the rules, regulations and regulators of the government maze. Your own way of person.
What Slater understands is that the elite that Republican legal ideology still refuses to see is distorted, domineering capitalism is not the same as free enterprise. Private companies, although large enough, can distort the market like governments. Antitrust law is about freedom, not esoteric technology and pricing models. Its core function (like the Constitution itself) is to protect the American people from the dangers of centralized, irresponsible power.
Concentrated, irresponsible power is the big tech lord in our society today. Famous, consumer-friendly innovation has made these companies successful over the past few decades, a relic of past eras. Today, Big Tech’s innovative post-business model – screen and porn addiction, wake-up propaganda, partisan censorship, privacy violations against industrial scale, and predatory acquisitions of startup competitors – not only for our market economy, but also for our Our entire lifestyle threats.
Donald Trump got this. He often criticized his criticism for the defenses of “small technology”. He knows how anti-competitive large business executives behave when they think they can get rid of it. He knows that regulatory micromanagement usually only leads to regulatory capture. Antitrust enforcement – forcibly dispersing economic powers that centralize abuse – is the only real, permanent way to protect the American people from corporate oligarchs.
Trump’s appointment Gail Slater is the most reliable sign of his plan to continue litigation, investigation and antitrust enforcement against big tech… and strengthens scrutiny of other “big” predators in the United States :rest.
Corporate media has put Slater’s nomination framework as an escalation of a battle that began in Biden’s year. In fact, it represents a long-term battle of America’s recovery two centuries ago—the modest, effective family battle against corrupt elites, inclined to conquer them.
Antitrust enforcement is not “repression” – it is self-defense. We have lived in the world we impose on us. We have a toxic political culture, youth mental health crisis, censorship and restrictive innovation economy to prove it.
The American people do not trust large-scale technology. They don’t trust the federal government in part because it doesn’t protect us from large-scale technologies. Today’s “trust destruction” may be better described as “destruction of distrust” – Washington ultimately stepped up its defense of our economy and our people, political, economic and cultural predators from trillion-dollar.
President Trump understands the future of American freedom depends on the ultimate killing of the dragon. Gail Slater is just the Knight of the job.
