Trump’s DOJ Pushes to Break Up Google, Calls for Chrome Browser Sale

President Donald Trump’s Justice Department is moving full steam ahead in its landmark antitrust case against Google, calling on a federal judge Monday to force the tech giant to sell its Chrome web browser and permanently end its chokehold over the internet.

This high-stakes move marks one of the most aggressive efforts in modern U.S. history to rein in Big Tech’s monopolistic empire and restore competitive balance in a digital economy dominated by a handful of left-leaning corporate titans.

During a hearing before U.S. District Judge Amit Mehta, senior DOJ officials made the case for structural remedies, arguing that Google’s monopoly over search and browser markets has harmed consumers, crushed competition, and politically manipulated online discourse for years.

• Google controls 90% of the global search market, a position cemented through multi-billion-dollar deals like paying Apple over $20 billion a year to make Google the default search engine on Safari.

• Judge Mehta has already ruled that Google is a monopolist, stating last year that the company used illegal tactics to preserve its dominance.

• The case is now in its remedies phase, where the court will determine what action must be taken to restore fair competition.

“President Trump took the first big step in 2020 when his DOJ filed this case,” said Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche. “Today, we’re finishing the job.”

Blanche continued: “Google uses its market power against the American people. It has control of an extraordinary amount of data. It deplatforms conservative speech. It influences political outcomes. And all of it stems from the monopoly we’re here to dismantle.”

DOJ officials also highlighted the bipartisan support for the case:

• 49 states, two territories, and D.C. have joined the lawsuit.

• Assistant Attorney General Gail Slater likened Google’s power to past monopolies like Standard Oil and AT&T, calling it the “behemoth of our generation.”

“We’re at an inflection point,” said DOJ attorney David Dahlquist. “This court has the opportunity to restore competition and break up a monopoly that has controlled the internet for today’s generation.”

This isn’t just about market competition it’s about freedom, privacy, and democratic integrity. For years, Google has operated as a politically biased gatekeeper, censoring conservative viewpoints while shaping public access to information through manipulated search algorithms and opaque moderation policies.

If Judge Mehta rules in favor of the DOJ’s proposed remedies, it could set a precedent not just for Google, but for the entire Silicon Valley establishment, which has long acted as an unaccountable arm of the progressive elite.

Breaking up Google won’t just level the playing field it will liberate the internet from an unelected corporate regime that sees itself as the final arbiter of truth.

This is the showdown conservatives have been demanding for over a decade. And now, thanks to Trump’s leadership, it’s finally happening.
