President Donald Trump on Thursday steered that the federal authorities may revoke the licenses of broadcast tv networks which are “against me.”
Trump’s remark got here a day after ABC suspended airing the “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” present due to feedback its host made linking the alleged killer of conservative activist Charlie Kirk to Trump’s MAGA motion.
“There is a license. I’ll give you an example,” Trump advised reporters.
“I have read someplace that the networks were 97% against me, again, 97% negative, and yet I won and easily, all 7 swing states,” the president stated, referring to his 2024 election win.
“They’re 97% against, they give me only bad press, I mean, they’re getting a license,” Trump stated.
“I would think maybe their license should be taken away,” Trump stated.
The president stated that the choice “will be up to Brendan Carr,” the chairman of the Federal Communications Commission.
“I think Brendan Carr is outstanding, he’s a patriot,” stated Trump, who nominated Carr to his place. “He loves our country, and he’s a tough guy. So we’ll have to see.”
