How will a second Trump presidency affect the tech industry?


A wild card.

Not counting any personal grievances that make their way into American politics, expect a second Trump term to look a lot like any other administration where Republicans control the government: more friendly to companies like Amazon, Apple, and Google, fewer consumer protection laws successfully introduced to Congress, and a short period of economic growth followed by a hard recession. As examples, in 2019 DoJ anitrust division head Makan Delrahim actively lobbied regulators and lawmakers to ensure the deal between Sprint and T-Mobile was successful. (Image credit: U.S. DoJ via Concurrences.com) I would not be surprised to see Google prevail in its current antitrust cases under a new FTC, Amazon dodges any similar charges, and Meta continues its lawful-evil ways without any oversight.
