Trump says US gov will 'take a look' at Thiel's accusations of treason by Google (twitter.com/realdonaldtrump)

I guess this is OK since Thiel is on Facebook's board of directors, and I guess has a large investment in it. We as a country don't care about conflicts of interest any more, so fine, call your business opponents "traitors". But don't complain when that particular accusation comes around for you.

Or is this just an example of Peter Turchin's "intraelite conflict"?

In any case, Trump has exactly zero business piddling in the markets, can we all agree?
