Trump is simply attempting to silence any type of media that reports anything negative against him. His supporters are just ignorant fascist supporting fuckwads that would allow him to remove all civil rights and suck his cock while he does it.

Google is a search engine and a good one, so if they do not do any shenanigans let them keep it, but Sherman Act was concieved not to bother small companies, but big and successfull ones from cornering a market and taking over other businesses, thus stiffling copettition and "fixing" all the rules. So, let them keep search, but take away:
Youtube
Android operating system
Nest Labs
Ad Sense
E commerce wallet
Google Play
Motorola
Rights Flow
Google Fiber
The things which just should be controlled by some public body are:
Google Maps
Google Drive
Google Chrome
Calico
Also, if you look closer, there are about 100 other companies Google bought and or merged with which were "robbed out" and dumped or left exposed to investor fear.
I cannot believe that US congress is sleeping on this issue. That is not a competitive capitalism, that is a highway robbery. I would take the same yardstick yo Apple, Amazon, PayPal, Facebook and maybe a few others...I hope Trump will give it a shot.
