On no! Not at all! Today it's absolutely clear Rump was soliciting ~~bribes~~ donations from the big tech players.
And you're still over stating it. He praised an action, not actions.
Hell, I'm the guy who keeps calling him Rump, and even I can say he did the right thing getting rid of the Penny. That was long over due.
What part of "the reality is that Republicans remain more likely to tackle Big Tech abuses" sounds like the praise of just one thing and not a blanket endorsement
Seriously?
I get that we spend a lot of time online, but the world has much much more in it than big tech. There are at least hundreds of other things out there.
Yes, in the context of him selling a tech product and in the context of him having nothing else to say about Trump, Vance, and the Republican establishment, his praise is clear.
Focusing on corporate Dems, ignoring appointees like Lina Khan, and requiring them to change, was the only condition in the original statement. Which is ironic because now that you admit Republicans are bad (and I repeat, everybody knew this back then, just read the comments), Dems have gotten worse overall so his statement still remains.
Let me try to rephrase your argument here:
In the context of ignoring literaly everything else in the world, praising this one thing, is literally praising everything Rump does.
You see how that doesn't really work?
