It's not surprising that Donald Trump thinks censoring the Internet is a great idea. I guess it's not surprising that he thinks Bill Gates has his finger above the kill switch, either. Trump says he can call Bill Gates to "close up" the internet.

"We're losing a lot of people because of the internet. We have to see Bill Gates and a lot of different people that really understand what's happening. We have to talk to them about, maybe in certain areas, closing that internet up in some ways. Somebody will say, 'Oh freedom of speech, freedom of speech.' These are foolish people."
