President Donald Trump has made one of the best and the most exciting decisions of his second term: Tapping Technology Lawyer Gail Slater to run the antitrust division of his Ministry of Justice.
They are a great chance that you have never heard of the Slater. But lawyers, lobbyists and awakened billionaires of the largest American technology companies. Be sure that within a few minutes of Slater’s nomination, the Silicon Valley came into panic weak conversations, zoomed calls and emergency meetings.
The big hope of Big Tech for 2025 – that for all Trump’s populist rhetoric, Republican president will never cause a big job – it was intricate. After years of consumer abuse, the market manipulation and political betrayal, Google, Apple, Amazon, Meta, and other technological giants of the nation will finally face them.

Gail Slater is that counting.
Because Slater is not just an expert on competition and antitrust law, thoroughly qualified to run Division. Neither is she not just an excellent lawyer with experience in private practice and two branches of government. No, why Slater’s resume stands out for what is bothering with great technological executors-the fact that she worked behind the Silicon curtain for years. She has maintained high positions in major technological and telecommunications companies and even in the trade association of the Internet industry.
Slater came out of these experiences – behind enemy lines, as was the most famous, principled conservative antitrust hawk in Washington.
She is one of the few in the right -wing antitrust circles that understands what antitrustic statutes They are intended for: not irritating obstacles for weaving and avoiding business, but the integral components of supporting the fair and robust free market, the one where both large and small participants can compete in their merits and progress.
While some political groups financed by the Washington industry pays a silicon valley to associate it with a populist left, Slater’s ideology is different. Its approach to Antitrust’s law is not based on value, nor is it too burdened in favor of speculative economic jargon.
Instead, Slater continues the tradition of John Sherman, Pro-lincolna, a Republican Republican against Ohija slave who borrowed his name to the national statute of Antitrust’s statute: skepticism according to centralized power, both in the Government and outside, and the goal, and the goal of the market open to all They drive, not just those who can buy their way through the Government Labyrinth of Rules, Regulations and Regulators.
What Slater understands – and that too elite, Republican legal ideologues are still refusing to see – that distorting, tyranized capitalism is not the same as a free business. Private companies, when they are large enough, are just as capable of peeking into the market as the Government. The antitrust law speaks of freedom, not the esoteric technical and price models. Its fundamental function (like the Constitution itself) is to protect the American people from the danger of centralized, Dissatisfied power.
And centralized, inappropriate power is exactly what the great technological to master over our society today. Famous innovations adapted to consumers who have made these companies successful in the last decades are relics of the last time. The BIG Tech business model after an innovative business today is a screen and pornography, an awakened propaganda, a partisan censorship, a violation of privacy in industry and predatory acquisitions of startup competitors-is not only our market economy, but also our entire lives.
Donald Trump gets this. Often, it causes their criticism to Big Tech as a defense of “small technology”. He knows how they behave against competitive major business managers when they think they can get away with it. And he knows that regulatory management management often only leads to regulatory capture. The implementation of antitrust implementation – forcibly decentralizing concentration of economic power – is the only real, permanent way of protecting the American people from corporate oligarch.
Trump’s appointment Gail Slater is the safest sign that he plans to continue my launch -investigation and the implementation of Antitrust’s implementation against Big Tech … and intensify his supervision at other American “big” predators: Big AG, Big Bank, Big Pharma, etc. rest.
Corporate media frame Slater’s nomination for the escalation of the battle started during the Bidel years. True, it is an American long-lasting return to the battle, which he started more than two centuries ago with humble, working families against corrupt elites bent in their submission.
The implementation of antitrusts is not a “breakthrough” – it is self -defined. We are already living in the world of great technology that has been imposed on us. We have toxic political culture, the crisis for the mental health of young people, the censorship regime, and the involved innovation economy to prove it.
AND American people Don’t believe great technology. And they do not believe partly the Federal Government because it has not protected us from great technology. “Confidence in Furning” today could be better described as a “distrust” -washington finally intensified to defend our economy and our people from political, economic and cultural predators of the trillion dollar.
President Trump understands that the future of American freedom depends on the final killing of this dragon. Gail Slater is just a job knight.
