President Donald Trump has called on ABC News to pay him more money after criticizing the network's contributor and veteran political strategist Donna Brazile and saying the network to fire her. On Sunday, Trump launched a personal attack on Brazile in a post on his Truth Social platform, referring to her appearance that morning on ABC's This Week and questioning why the network would hire her. In Sunday's ABC News panel discussion, Brazile referred to the withdrawal of Harris' Secret Service protection as "petty…vindictive…retribution," and also criticized rising prices and Trump's tariff policy. On crime, Brazile suggested the administration did not believe in the rule of law or have a comprehensive anti-crime program. The previous Sunday, he called the ABC and NBC networks two of the "most biased" broadcasters ever and said the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) should revoke their licenses. In the ABC discussion of the economy, Donna Brazile said: "These tariffs have created a level of uncertainty that the American people can't afford. Donald Trump won on affordability, he won on lowering costs and people are paying higher prices at the grocery store and in getting their kids back to school than ever before. That's what the Trump administration should be focusing on, not weaponizing tariffs against countries that he may not like." The adversarial relationship between Trump and the media looks set to continue, especially if his poll ratings are falling in the run-up to 2026 midterm elections.

Donald Trump does not support free speech. Especially any speech that is critical of Trump.

In addition, once someone caves to Trump extortion, like a cheap gangster he always returns demanding more money. Let this be a lesson to ABC.

The reason that Trump only got $15million from ABC, vs the voting machine company's $Billion against Fox, is that many Believed Fox, and damaged the company. Being assaulted by Steffy rolled off Trump's back, if it did not actually Help him. MSM need to step up their game, if they want to be relevant to the next election.
