we're talking about mr. donald trump. the former president today posted his first message on his truth social platform, writing simply "i'm back." this came the same week elon musk bought twitter. donald trump said he won't go back to twitter, even allowed. truth social has had a rocky launch. but today's message frames trump as a social media rival. as for musk, he told more than $8 billion in tesla stock on tuesday to help pay for twitter. and yesterday he sold another $4 billion in shares, tweeting he will not sell more. >>> all right. scrubbing your personal information off the internet just got a little easier. you can now ask google remove personal information from search results. so that includes phone numbers, emails, physical address, right? so previously, the company limited requests to special circumstances such as online fraud charges and bank and credit card details. google will still review requests to ensure they are legitimate, and it won't remove references that are part of public record. >> i think a lot

i'm going to start with mr. donalds' comment about raising the corporate tax rate. he said if you raise the corporate tax rate, that it's going to cause inflation because you're going to -- they're going to pass it along to consumers. that would imply that if you lowered the tax rate, that they would pass the savings on to consumers, when republicans cut the tax rate from 35 to 21% in 2017, did that result in any cost-cutting for consumers that you're aware of? >> it has not. >> as a matter of fact, if that were true, we wouldn't have the inflation we have now, because they're still paying at a 21% rate. so that just doesn't make sense. and you were here in 2017, you were in the congress, and the justification republicans gave at that time for cutting the corporate tax rate was that this would encourage them to invest in new equipment, new capacity, new productivity. did any of that happen? >> it did not. >> as a matter of fact, most of the money that was saved by lowering the tax rate was spent on buying back stock and increasing dividends, not in actually being re
