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.

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