Trump has made similar complaints recently, but he targeted Google on Tuesday.

Trump also claimed without evidence that 96 percent of the “Trump News” search results are from “National Left-Wing Media.”
He says this “very serious situation-will be addressed!”
Mountain View, California-based Google had no immediate comment.
