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.


“I have read someplace that the networks were 97% against me, again, 97% negative, and yet I won and easily, all 7 swing states,” Trump told reporters, 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 aboard Air Force One provided by the White House.

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

The president said that the decision “will be up to Brendan Carr,” the chairman of the Federal Communications Commission.

Prove it, quote and link to a transcript

I am calling you a fuckin liar

"Radical Left political violence has hurt too many innocent people and taken too many lives." -

"Well, the problem is on the left. Whenyou look at the problem, the problem is on the left. It's not on the right, like some people like to say, on the right, the problem we have is on the left. And when you look at the agitators, uh, the the you look at the the scum that speaks so badly of our country, the American flag burnings all over the place, that's the left. That's not the right."

"I'll tell you something that's going to get me in trouble, but I couldn't care less. The radicals on the right oftentimes are radical because they don't want to see crime. They don't want to see crime. They're worried about the border. They're saying, ‘We don't want these people coming in. We don't want you burning our shopping centers. We don't want you shooting our people in the middle of the street.’ The radicals on the left are the problem, and they're vicious, they're horrible, and they're politically savvy."

Where does this “against him” quote appear?? He is against the inflammatory lies that Kimmel told.

What Kimmel said wasn’t criticism of President Trump.

He lied about Charlie Kirk’s assassin. Willfully and knowingly lied. That is against FCC regulations, it just isn’t ever enforced.

Why should these propagandists have federal license to broadcast?

If you don’t like the government controlling what can be broadcast, maybe remove their regulatory power from TV. But we all know lefties can never remove power from the government. They dream about banning all their opposition from all media.

How do you know?

 

[scruffy]

His wording was extravagantly clear:
A. “They give me only bad publicity, press. I mean, they’re getting a license,” Trump said, according to audio from a press gaggle aboard Air Force One provided by the White House.
CAUSE: IF Broadcasters that give him bad publicity. Not falsehoods, but bad publicity, then

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

Thats dictatorship.

Go tell Obama.

He's the president who invented deplatforming.

It's great listening to you howl now that you're getting a dose of your own medicine.

I think the righties should rub it in a little. Make it hurt.

Shut down the opposition press

“Cleanse” the FBI, CDC, and virtually every part of the government

Send troops into the streets

Take over the judicial branch

Start building camps

Sound familiar?

The irony of this statement when it's the Trump administration has been fueling dangerous rhetoric ever since the Kirk assassination. Lying that all political violence is committed by the left. Weaponizing his death to attack the entire left.

Hey conservatives, if you don't like people calling you fascists, then maybe you should push back a bit when your administration keeps doing fascist things?

If democrats had done half the things Trump has done, you'd all be calling for civil war. Hell, even when they haven't, some of you are still finding ways to call for civil war. Braindead.

Thank you for clearing up my confusion. I definitely know now that you are an idiot and not worth reading. Your TDS is showing. Hello and goodbye!
