'Trump repeatedly criticized the $85 billion deal on the campaign trail and as president, vowing to block the merger and saying that it was “not good for the country.”'
Why are people surprised when Trump does what he says he would?
Remember when the Obama administration blocked the Anthem-Cigna tie up? Or the Humana-Aetna merger? You really think that didn't come from the top and it was a personal issue as well?
Dude, if you are going to only include the Trump administration as part of modern history, then yes it is the most inept, but also the greatest. Please allow for some challenge to your claim beyond the last two years.
Where is the documentation that the DOJ operated apolitically in reviewing these mergers?
Obama used his DOJ to target conservative political groups. His AG Holder was held in contempt of congress. That is not an apolitical DOJ.
