In the eyes of Silicon Valley bosses, Trump is a "hammer".
Why?
Because some of Trump's public policies may bring bad news to the technology industry.
For example, Trump wants to renegotiate trade agreements.
The core of Trump's strategy to revitalize America is to revive American manufacturing.
He once said: "I want to remind our NAFTA partners that we intend to renegotiate the terms of the agreement immediately so that our products can be better traded and workers can get more jobs. If they do not agree to renegotiate, the United States will withdraw from the agreement."
HPE CEO Meg Whitman, who is also a Republican, once complained to CNBC reporters about this matter.
Meg Whitman said in an interview: "I think Trump's policy on free trade will have an adverse impact on the entire industry. American manufacturing must become the most effective competitor. To compete with China and the United States, it must be more cost-effective."
For example, Trump's controversial remarks about Apple and Amazon.
Trump once claimed that he wanted Apple to produce iPhones in the United States. If this is true, the soaring costs will make Apple unaffordable.
When Apple and the federal government were in a standoff over whether the federal government had the authority to unlock the iPhone, Trump was very dissatisfied with Apple's approach and even called for a boycott of all Apple products:
Trump also criticized Bezos for using his Washington Post to influence policies and seek personal gain.
Another example is the stubborn immigration policy.
The H-1B visa in the United States is a visa issued to people who work in professional and technical fields in the United States. Internet companies such as Google and Face have always relied on H-1B visas to introduce foreign talents.
But Trump's attitude towards immigration and the current immigration policy will limit these Internet companies from recruiting cheap and beautiful employees.
Another example is Trump's opposition to Net Neutrality.
The chairman of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) appointed by Trump may repeal the net neutrality rules established by the FCC in 2015.
These rules require Internet providers to treat all content on the Internet without bias, which is considered the basis of free speech.
Compared with maintaining an impartial and neutral attitude, Trump prefers to allow the media to express their different views on public issues equally.
Abolition of network neutrality may make it more expensive for users to access the Internet, and you will need to spend extra money and energy to obtain different information.
So this time Martin called on everyone to block Trump's account for one day to show the power of the Internet. Everyone responded to the call, not only because of Martin's prestige, but more because they may have wanted to do so a long time ago.
…………
For a whole day, there was no InternetTrump felt very strange.
Although he is an old man in his sixties, Trump has long been accustomed to the presence of the Internet in his life. Suddenly it disappeared, and he really felt a little empty.
Fortunately, the "outage" lasted only one day.
The next day, all of Trump's accounts returned, and this guy immediately couldn't wait to open his Twitter account and start posting.
A controversial tweet appeared in front of the public again.
"I think the United States should recognize Jerusalem as the capital of Israel."
In fact, in order to win over pro-Israel American voters, Trump promised during his presidential campaign last year that he would move the US Embassy in Israel from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem after taking office.
The status of Jerusalem is one of the most controversial issues in the reconciliation dialogue between Palestine and Israel.
Israel annexed East Jerusalem after the 1967 Middle East War and declared the entire Jerusalem as Israel's "permanent and indivisible capital."
Palestine insists on making East Jerusalem the capital of Palestine.
The international community generally does not recognize Israel's sovereignty over Jerusalem.
A US law that came into effect in 1995 stipulates that the US embassy in Israel must be moved to Jerusalem.
However, the law also stipulates that the US president has the right to postpone the implementation on the grounds of security factors and must sign a relevant document every 6 months.
In the past, the long-term policy of the US government has been that the status of Jerusalem must be resolved through negotiations between Palestine and Israel.
Since 1995, no US president has moved the US embassy in Israel to Jerusalem to avoid exacerbating the conflict. .
In fact, although Trump promised to move the embassy in Israel during his campaign, he signed a document in June this year to delay the relocation in order to cooperate with the efforts to promote the resumption of peace talks between Palestine and Israel.
At that time, the Associated Press quoted some American officials as saying that Trump still intended to fulfill his campaign promise, but was worried that doing so would frustrate efforts to promote peace, so he considered not moving the embassy and recognizing Jerusalem as the capital of Israel.
However, Trump's national security advisory team has been discussing this issue recently, and the discussion in recent days has been particularly intense.
Trump joined the discussion a few days ago and became increasingly emotional. He spoke for a full hour about fulfilling his promises.
At the meeting, Defense Secretary James Mattis and Secretary of State Rex Tillerson pointed out that moving the embassy in Israel would pose a serious security threat to American diplomats and soldiers in Islamic countries.
When King Abdullah II of Jordan visited the United States this week, he also issued a similar warning to Vice President Mike (Pence) and Tillerson, believing that if the United States moved its embassy in Israel to Jerusalem without a peace agreement between Palestine and Israel, it would deepen anti-American sentiment in the Middle East and cause riots and unrest.
After intense discussions, Trump and his core advisorsThe son finally accepted the warning, but at the same time insisted that Trump should somehow fulfill his campaign promise of moving the embassy in 2020, so the meeting formed a plan to recognize Jerusalem as the capital of Israel without moving the embassy.
This is also the reason why Trump posted the above news on Twitter.
But even if the embassy is not moved, the US president's recognition of Jerusalem as the capital of Israel has also triggered a strong reaction from Palestine and the international community.
Especially in the Middle East, there is indignation against the next few.
The spokesman of Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas said on the night Trump posted his tweet: "Any peace plan between Palestine and Israel must recognize East Jerusalem as the capital of Palestine."
King Abdullah of Jordan also believes that Trump is playing with fire by doing this.
