I'm just looking for one MAGA who has the courage to step out of line and say that all of this is wrong and madness. That a president should not be threatening networks by putting them out of business.

Just one. Who will step up?



"Trump made the comment aboard Air Force One, according to multiple reporters, repeating a prior claim that television networks are “97% against [me], they give me only bad publicity or press. I mean, they’re getting a license. I would think maybe their license should be taken away,” according to CBS News White House reporter Kathryn Watson."



Trump Suggests Pulling Licenses From Networks Critical Of Him

Trump’s comment comes after ABC pulled “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” from the air following comments the host made about Charlie Kirk and Trump supporters.

"The president did not cite a source for the 97% figure, which he brought up last month when he alleged “ABC & NBC FAKE NEWS, two of the worst and most biased networks in history, give me 97% BAD STORIES.”
 
I hope you've got snacks and drinks. You could be there a while.
 
Trump has the full support of a compliant Congress and a sympathetic Supreme Court.

CNBC reports, "President Donald Trump on Thursday suggested that the federal government might revoke the licenses of broadcast television networks that are “against” him.

"Trump’s comment came a day after ABC suspended airing the “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” show because of comments its host made linking the alleged killer of conservative activist Charlie Kirk to Trump’s MAGA movement.

"Federal Communications Commission Chairman Brendan Carr earlier on Wednesday had hinted that the broadcast license of ABC — which is a subsidiary of Disney — was at risk if it did not “take action on Kimmel.”

Speaking on Thursday to reporters aboard Air Force One, Trump said, “I have read someplace that the networks were 97% against me, again, 97% negative, and yet I won and easily, all seven swing states,” referring to his 2024 election win.

“They give me only bad publicity, press. I mean, they’re getting a license,” Trump said, according to audio from a press gaggle provided by the White House.

“I would think maybe their license should be taken away,” Trump said.

No wonder Republicans are silent. Trump is killing their party with his big mouth.
 
Surprise, surprise, Trump lies.
 
Just one.

I'm just looking for one MAGA to tell the truth.
 
Can I at least get one of the Republicans here who lie and call themselves Libertarians say this is madness. To say this is wrong.

If I libertarian can't say this is wrong then they're not a libertarian. They're just a massive liar.
 
Remember their names. If they aren't voted out, then they should get prosecuted out if the dems ever get back enough power. Same with the SCOTUS impeachment, but removing them will take 67 votes.
 

Now all he has to do is let the eight percent of antenna viewers know they're going to lose their TV reception.
I'm guessing the majority of them are either poor, rural or both, and likely Trump voters.
