Trump bowls a Google-y, says Pichai called to compliment his McD sortie

Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump claimed on Joe Rogan’s podcast that Google CEO Sundar Pichai called him to praise his recent visit to McDonald’s.

“I visited McDonald's last week, and Sundar Pichai called me up and said 'This McDonald’s thing was one of the biggest things we have ever had on Google. It just hit',” Trump told Rogan, drawing a laugh from the latter.

The remark follows Trump’s earlier claims that Google had been skewing search results to diminish his online visibility during his campaign rallies. Trump said he previously contacted Pichai to report the issue.
