Trump fan angry Google or Facebook execs won't meet him ...

... as he wanders around pestering employees

A supporter of President Donald Trump showed up to Google headquarters and asked to speak with corporate officials about a perceived anti-conservative bias — and he left angry that he had been denied a meeting.

Conservative gadfly Ben Bergquam and other Trump backers walked around the Google and Facebook campuses Thursday recording livestream video and demanding answers about how the tech companies present data to consumers.

Bergquam and other sign-carrying activists wearing “Make America Great Again” hats showed up at the two California companies demanding answers from company executives, and complained loudly when they were denied and security guards asked them to leave.

“They weren’t expecting us to come, I think they were irritated that we were there,” Bergquam said. Bergquam promised to return Friday with an even larger group of activists.

WTF? It's so bizarre looking. Did he just suddenly decide not to shave off his stache a third of the way into it?

I am learning, never question the motives of a Trumper. You will only drive yourself insane?

You mean busy corporate executives don't just sit around all day waiting for disgruntled whack jobs to come strolling in and soak their desktop in angry spittle? Shocked, I am.

MAGA guys fit the profile of idiots who carry firearms as "evidence in support of the rightness of their opinions".
I wouldn't want to be 100 yards of their tantrums - err "concerns".
