Trump said early Wednesday that TV broadcast licenses should be revoked if newscasts and late-night shows are almost entirely negative about him and the GOP.

“If Network NEWSCASTS, and their Late Night Shows, are almost 100% Negative to President Donald J. Trump, MAGA, and the Republican Party, shouldn’t their very valuable Broadcast Licenses be terminated? I say, YES!” Mr. Trump said in a post on Truth Social in the wee hours of the morning.

The post came minutes after the president criticized “The Late Show” host Stephen Colbert, calling him a “pathetic trainwreck, with no talent or anything else necessary for show business success.” The show is set to end in May 2026.

    The orange child rapist is a thin skinned toddler. It’s no wonder he likes to abuse kiddies when they are the only people he is strong enough to tackle. Fucking cunt.

      they have actually done studies on conservatives and it turns out they actually like being abused. When the powerful wield their power you are going to be harmed but because you are inline with their goals you will be rewarded. You see it in their religion, you see it in their politicians.

      The problem is all the things they believe in and follow are all grifts. They don’t get that if the powers abuse them it’s because they are being used.

    That’s not how 1st amendment works. Either way. 100% for or against is the correct path. How’s that test going? Still hanging on to those four words as a litmus test to your intellectual and cognitive standing? I bet you are.

    Get Bent.

    Like… Batman comics feel more realistic at this point.

    “That guy donated 100 mil to a charity? That’s the fuckin villain obv, it’s a bribe!”

    vs

    “Jared Kushner orchestrates a large video game studio takeover and presidential pardons as low as an easy mill”

    Are broadcast licenses even “very valuable” anymore? I think I know maybe one person who regularly watches broadcast tv. Not that that means he should take them away, I just feel like it isn’t nearly as big a threat he thinks it is
