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.

    Aww, puddypoo, are those meanies saying baddiebooboos about you?

    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.

          You confuse realism with apathy.

          Saying what AbidanYre said does not mean they intend to take it bending down.

          Millions of people are fully onboard with everything he’s doing. But sure, blame me for not storming the FCC alone.

          They will. They’re all fine with their neighbors being deported, rampant unemployment and blatant corruption, this isn’t any worse. Mild, really.

    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.
