President Donald Trump declared Friday that Microsoft needs to fire Lisa Monaco, president of Global Affairs.
She cited her role as “Merrick Garland, the senior national security aide under Barack Hussein Obama and the deputy attorney general obsessed with the boss of the crooked Joe Biden and Lisa’s puppet, Merrick Garland.”
“My opinion is that Microsoft should immediately terminate Lisa Monaco’s employment,” he wrote.
As Trump pointed out, Monaco worked with both Barack Obama and Joe Biden under the Biden administration, including the Associate Attorney General. Trump retracted Monaco’s security clearance earlier this year with an order that also did the same for the Biden, Kamala Harris, Hillary Clinton and the Biden family.
A Microsoft spokesperson declined to comment. Monaco joined the company in May and took on the role of overseeing the company’s cybersecurity policy and its relationship with the world government.
Laura Rumer, a far-right activist and Trump ally, has repeatedly criticised Microsoft for hiring Monaco in her X post, complaining that Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella is “born in India” and “disgraced fraudster behaviour.” On Friday, he cited Trump’s post and once again called on the president to “cancel all Microsoft government contracts.”
This is not the first time Trump has targeted high-tech executives since he returned to his office. He previously said Intel President Ripbu Tan “must resign immediately” over alleged conflicts of interest. After that, after Inter gave the government a 10% stake in exchange for funds already committed by the Biden administration, Trump described Tan as “a highly respected chief executive.”
