One of Silicon Valley’s most prominent voices — Marc Andreessen — has taken to Twitter to express his disdain for Republican presidential frontrunner Donald Trump.
Here’s one of the biggest jabs, thanks to this big piece by Politico about grandfather Friedrich Trump, who ran a “kitchen and a bar and [that] advertised ‘private rooms for ladies’ ” in Seattle’s Red Light District back in the day:

Honestly, it’s a rabbit hole you could go down, down, down. Andreessen tweets a ton.
You might remember that Trump has engaged in Twitter feuds with another prominent businessman, T-Mobile’s John Legere. Most recently, Legere and the Donald went tweet-for-tweet in another online war, in which Legere questioned his ability to lead as president and Trump criticized T-Mobile’s service.
Need to get caught up on what Trump is proposing? The Washington Post had a piece yesterday that should bring you up to speed:
“The presidential candidate who has consistently led the Republican field for four months, Donald Trump, has proposed: to forcibly expel 11 million people from the country, requiring a massive apparatus of enforcement, courts and concentration camps; to rewrite or reinterpret the 14th Amendment to end the Civil War-era Republican principle of birthright citizenship; to build a 2,000-mile wall on our southern border while forcing Mexico to pay the cost. He has characterized undocumented Mexican immigrants as rapists and murderers, and opposed the speaking of Spanish in the United States.”
