President Trump on Wednesday posted a video on Twitter accusing Google of promoting former president Obama's State of the Union addresses on its highly trafficked homepage, while ignoring his, claiming the search giant is biased against the Republican.

"For years," the video claims, "Google promoted president Obama's State of the Union on its homepage. When President Trump took office, Google stopped."

The video, which was accompanied with the comment #StopTheBias, then shows alleged screenshots of Google's homepage on the dates of State of the Union addresses between the years 2012 and 2018. In the last two years, during Trump's presidency, the video spotlights a blank space where the State of the Union had been promoted.

An Internet Archive capture of the Google homepage confirms the company's statement, showing promotion of Trump's State of the Union address.

A user of the pro-Trump Reddit board /r/The_Donald also posted a screenshot seven months ago capturing Google's homepage promotion of Trump's address.

The screenshots in the president's video are also inconsistent with Google's logo and homepage doodles. On Sept. 1, 2015, Google changed its logo, but Trump's 2016 screenshot shows the old version. According to the Internet Archive, Google also ran a Cinderella doodle that day, which was not included in Trump's video.

Conspiracy website Infowars posted the president's claims without Google's statement.

GOP chair Ronna McDaniel said companies "shouldn't be picking sides."

And the Kremlin-funded media outlet RT posted a story parroting Trump's claim, without a response from Google.

He is so gullible, it should be a national security concern. I say it because we all know he saw it somewhere else first.

And now the age old debate begins. Is our president a gullible idiot? Does he think we are gullible idiots? Which one is worse? Does it even matter?

Companies shouldn't pick sides?
But what about all the corporate donations the GOP accepts?

People need to call out Trump as a liar as load as possible.

Democrats should call for an investigation of where this video came from. Everything indicates it was actually made by the White House which would mean our tax dollars made this shit.

Jesus Fucking Christ, the President of the United States is spreading fabricated videos on his "official" twitter. This shit is now a part of the Presidential Archives. To go along with thousands and thousands of lying and delusional tweets.

Some historian 100 years from now is going to have their mind blown by the massive amounts of stupidity.

Worst thing is, this will probably be the 5th stupidest thing he does this week.

Surely it's more newsworthy when he tells the truth? I can't remember the last time he did that...

I don't know if they would, but Google should threaten him with a libel case as he's spreading lies about them which could affect their value or market position.

Get a retraction and apology from the vile sack of shit.

Yeah and people will believe it and eat it up. This is legit fucking Metal Gear Solid 2 at this point. If you slap anything on an infographic or short video, people believe it with no fact check.

I'm not sure what's worse: that his handlers allowed him to tweet that, that they advised against it and were ignored, or that they just don't care anymore.

Or that he didn't make the video and someone else made this propaganda and then tweeted it out on his account.

Cause you know he doesn't know how to tweet out media.

It's not just him. It's everybody around him that are corrupt.

So he posted literal fake news purposely to set a narrative, why decrying actual news nearly at the same time. Impeach him.

How can they even keep up? The volume of chaos the man produces is unreal. There are several threads on the first page alone dealing with his latest bullshit.

They probably don't give a shit. They're worrying about hiring a good lawyer.

Asking whether Trump is gullible always misses the point. He doesn't believe in reality, only whatever narrative is good for Trump.

This makes him more dangerous than a person who is gullible out of ignorance. They might be educated or stopped by people who manage to explain the facts to them.

Trump is essentially a deranged lunatic who refuses to listen to anyone who says a statement or action which is momentarily good for him, is bad in other ways. Thus you can get him to do literally anything if you frame it as being good for Trump this very instant.

You're right. Short of taking his privileges away, there's really nothing they can do.

This is the leader of the free world.

I wonder if some of the problems with Trump can be contained by simply going after his company and attempting to dismantle it? I mean, if he knows that his dearly beloved corporation is under threat of being taken away from him, I imagine he would ignore every other obligation--including being President of the United States--and focus all his energy on trying to save the Trump Organization. And his followers would probably go down the rabbit hole with him, since he wouldn't be obsessing about other stuff anymore. It would be like a black hole for all his hijinks, sucking it all in because he no longer cares about anything else.

Even if this were true, a private company has no obligation to give your hateful demagoguery a platform, you fat sack of crap.
