Monopoly laws are inviolable. So why is Trump dining with the ellisons?

If the president doesn’t directly benefit from the media merger, why was he seen dining with the Ellison’s? If he doesn’t have a stake in this, financially or politically (or both), why is he not decrying the agreement as a clear violation of monopoly laws? This merger is a major red flag. He who controls the media, controls the people. Stand up and say something!
