The problem with that pic is that it shows ⊥rump tweeting from the Oval Office.
We know he mostly tweets while he’s taking his morning shit whilst watching Fox and Friends.

Why would you google “Trump News” if you were looking for good news? That’s like googling “industrial architecture” and hoping to find giraffe porn.
Sure, you’ll probably find some eventually but you might have to scroll past a few pages of search results first.

More evidence Trump has no idea how reality works. Fox News spends more time making belabored excuses for all Trump’s problems than touting all the “great things” he has supposedly done since taking office, and you can’t make your problems go away on the internet by complaining about them all day on Twitter-- so even Fox News and Trump himself are publicizing his scandals simply by mentioning them.

“Even Rocket Man Kim gets better press than me! We should have mandatory positive press releases about me too!”

I was forced to listen to Fox News this AM while waiting for car work (too hot to go outside) and they brushed off his inept conference call yesterday as “yeah, it happens to the best of us.”
“best” ??? I thought. JHC

REMINDER: There was (is?) at least one person on White House staff whose job entailed scouring the news for positive stories about Trump just to feed his ego twice a day.
One White House official said the only feedback the White House communications shop, which prepares the folder, has ever gotten in all these months is: “It needs to be more fucking positive.”

Google should threaten to declare itself a non-US company and see what happens.

The problem is that he is basically arguing that all content has the same value in terms of quality and that can create long terms issues with both monetizing content by makers small and big and the search companies profiting by organizing content in a more digestible form (not to say tech companies have also profited in the short term from crap content, lies and fake news the past 2 years).
He’s arguing that a well researched story from a reputable organization has the same commercial worth as a crap article with poor website formatting and a very lousy photoshopped image of Hillary. He’s also kinda saying by going after Google/Alphabet is that a youtube video of a unhinged loon calling Obama a secret muslim has the same commercial value as a CNN video of Obama and Anthony Bourdain eating a pork dish and drinking alcoholic beer together in Vietnam 
This shows how much of a shit capitalist Donald is. There are only three ways a news org can make money through a online publication; advertising, selling the content and/or selling things through a webstore. Advertising will only work if your intended audience remembers what they are trying to be sold. Trump’s supporters going by how they have been reacting to him seem to have some pretty poor memory or at least ACT like they have poor memory when it comes to very important issues. If you are a advertising executive, do you think they are a great audience to try to sell a product to? Combine that fact with how companies have been running away from extreme conservative content lately by pulling ads from both old media (commercials being pulled from Laura Ingraham’s show on Fox News) and new media (companies freaking out about their ads being played in Infowar videos).
Does Trump realize in the long run that he might be the worst thing to have ever happen to conservative media?

I have very few positive things to say about Trump – ostensibly wanting détente with Russia and ostensibly wanting to end military/terrorist régime-change operations in Syria are two – but he is correct that Google rigs its search and news results for subjective political reasons. Alphabet’s key shareholders and managers are establishment/corporate Democrats – they literally had weekly meetings with White House staff in the White House while Obama was president – and Google downranks search and news results from sources that are to the right OR to the left of its political preferences. Traffic to left-wing, dissident news and opinion sites dropped precipitously after Google began implementing a PropOrNot-inspired “blacklist.”
Here are a few relevant links, not necessarily the best:
Susan Duclos, “Google Busted Again Manipulating Search Results,” MalwareTips Forums, 24 March 2018
Jonathan Cook, “Google’s New Search Engine Bias is No Accident,” DissidentVoice.org, 1 October 2017
Robert Epstein, “The New Censorship: How did Google become the internet’s censor and master manipulator, blocking access to millions of websites?”, US News & World Report, 22 June 2016
Trump may be an ignorant, unintelligent incurious, incompetent, impulsive, juvenile, venal, pathologically narcissistic, self-serving, maliciously bigoted blowhard of an asshat who rarely merits positive coverage from any self-respecting journalist or commentator … but Google IS politically biased and it DOES rig its search and news results.

If this were a conspiracy, I would suspect that Google got Trump to make this claim.
Because now we’ve got a whole bunch of liberal/progressive types who are normally suspicious of corporate power and media manipulation rushing to defend how impartial and incorruptible Google’s algorithms are.
What better way to redirect attention from the nagging sense that tech/data companies are taking control of society?
