Why would Donald Trump be for something so blatantly socialistic? Sure, anything below 5G will suddenly become inadequate and vanish.
One possible objective of nationalization of an industry is to create a government monopoly, and if it is a monopoly on communications it can be used against any possible dissident. Dictatorial regimes always monopolize communications so that there can be only one official way of expressing opinions -- that of the Duce, Fuehrer, Caudillo, Conducator, Poglavnik, or Vozhd. Or whatever self description that the Great and Infallible Leader uses for styling himself.
We have a President in contempt of any opinion contrary to his and anyone who expresses such opinions. I wonder whether our Great and Glorious Leader and his loyal Party stooges would use the power of control of the Internet to make things difficult for his opponents..... I am sure that this is being rushed so that there are no protections on privacy as exist in the USPS -- as in, that one cannot open a letter without compelling justification (such as that a contraband-sniffing dog detects a bomb or drugs).
Nice kitty! Couldn't hurt a mouse!

The ideal subject of totalitarian rule is not the convinced Nazi or the dedicated Communist but instead the people for whom the distinction between fact and fiction, true and false, no longer exists -- Hannah Arendt.
