President Donald Trump declared on Wednesday that television networks airing negative coverage of him should have their broadcast licenses terminated in a series of late-night rants against CBS, ABC, and NBC.
If Network NEWSCASTS, and their Late Night Shows, are almost 100% Negative to President Donald J. Trump, MAGA, and the Republican Party, shouldnt their very valuable Broadcast Licenses be terminated? I say, YES! wrote Trump in a 12:36 a.m. Truth Social post. In a follow-up post just three minutes later, the president added, MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!
Earlier in the evening, Trump ranted against CBS, ABC, and NBC, and attacked Late Show host Stephen Colbert as a dead man walking who should be put to sleep. Stephen Colbert is a pathetic trainwreck, with no talent or anything else necessary for show business success, wrote Trump. Now, after being terminated by CBS, but left out to dry, he has actually gotten worse, along with his nonexistent ratings.
He continued, Stephen is running on hatred and fumes ~ A dead man walking! CBS should, put him to sleep, NOW, it is the humanitarian thing to do! Who has the worst Late Night host, CBS, ABC, or NBC??? Trump added in another post. They all have three things in common: High Salaries, No Talent, REALLY LOW RATINGS! Trump has frequently posted rants against late-night television hosts and celebrated news of Colberts cancelation in July.

Stream their content. The FCC has no jurisdiction over streaming or cable IIRC.

Yes...it is the season for A Christmas Story.
But seriously, put the fuck up or shut the fuck up. Lets just see how low his approval ratings can plunge.

Its pathetic and discouraging.

But the Trump regime wants to violate the First Amendment, lawlessly silence a free press and the right of the people to know.
