Donald Trump Again Lashes Out At CBS And '60 Minutes' And Urges FCC Chair To "Impose The Maximum Fines And Punishment"
Source: Deadline
Donald Trump again lashed out at 60 Minutes, this time angry over two segments the newsmagazine ran on Ukraine and Greenland.

In a post on Truth Social, Trump called on the network to lose their license and for his FCC chairman, Brendan Carr, to “impose the maximum fines and punishment, which is substantial, for their unlawful and illegal behavior.”
The two 60 Minutes segments were pretty standard for the newsmagazine. One featured an interview with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. In the segment, Scott Pelley noted that Trump “rewrote history, saying, falsely, that Ukraine had started the war,” before running a clip in which the president referred to Zelensky as a “dictator.”

In the segment on Greenland, Jon Wertheim spoke to residents who talked of their opposition to the U.S. annexing the country. “Greenland is for Greenlanders, not for anybody else,” said its prime minister, Jens-Frederik Nielsen.

He's gonzo.
Either the GOP does something about this monsterous asshole they have unleashed or something will be done about the GOP.

(14,175 posts)When dissent is not only declared illegal but severely punished, we have fascism.
It remains to be seen whether the punishment The Felon calls for will stand up in court, but CBS will be burdened with legal fees and might self-censor going forward. Others may as well, not wanting to incur the wrath of this fascist administration.

It appears that Trump focused on earlier stage: pursuit of immediate gratification and enjoyment.

He ignores the court. I think we are far past the point of hoping that the judicial system reins him in.
