The US President went on a tirade against the India-born Google top boss.

Donald Trump is known to speak his mind, in the White House, and on Twitter too. From twiplomacy (diplomacy on Twitter) to friendly overtures towards North Korea, and a word of advice for India on trade norms, the American president has tweeted it all.
Tuesday morning saw Trump at his Twitter(y) best as he again, shared his angst. And at the receiving end this time was none other than the Google top boss, Sundar Pichai.
In a series of tweets, he took barbs at the tech giant for its alleged ties to the tampering in 2016 US presidential elections, and China’s military. Calling out Google by name, he recalled how the India-born Pichai - whom he tagged by name in his tweets - had spent time “in the Oval Office working very hard to explain how much he liked me…”
The meeting with Pichai that he referred to seemed to be an earlier interaction from 2016 following Trump’s entry in the White House. In typical Trump-speak, he trolled the Google top boss, and said that he’d tried to convince him that he felt the “Administration is doing a great job.”
He also pointed out that Pichai had reassured him that there was no involvement by Google with China’s military, and that they didn’t help “Crooked Hillary over me in the 2016 Election.”
Trump’s outburst seemed to have been provoked by a segment on Fox Business’s 'Lou Dobbs Tonight' show which featured former Google engineer, Kevin Cernekee. The techie claims he was fired from Google over his conservative views and has now alleged that the search giant is working against Trump in the 2020 election.
Trump used Cernekee’s proclamation to lash out at Pichai, and also warned that “we are watching Google very closely.”
Pichai had last met Trump in March this year to discuss contracts and other ongoing partnerships with the US government.

Unlike some, Teigen, it seems, knows what exactly enraged the President enough to block her. It was this tweet — “Lollll. No one likes you.” Teigen’s tweet was in response to Trump’s tweet stating, “It’s very sad that Republicans, even some that were carried over the line on my back, do very little to protect their President.” Sharing a screenshot of the message that she has been blocked by Trump, she tweeted, “After 9 years of hating Donald J Trump, telling him ‘lol no one likes you’ was the straw.” Clearly, she hurt his feelings real bad.
