"We're losing a lot of people because of the Internet," Trump said Monday at a campaign rally in South Carolina.
"We have to go see Bill Gates and a lot of different people that really understand what's happening. We have to talk to them about, maybe in certain areas, closing that Internet up in some way."
Still, no other presidential candidate or intelligence official has advocated for "closing" the Internet -- and it's unclear what such an action would mean for a technology that underlies much of the modern economy.
Trump continued, "Somebody will say, 'Oh, freedom of speech, freedom of speech.' These are foolish people."
and this is where america will stop stanning for him. it's sad that his racist views won't be enough for ppl not to vote for him but threatening the internet will lol
The way he speaks - not even what he says - kills me. He thinks if he strings together some big names and sounds authoritative that it'll come across as knowledgeable.
