So, in the last year, Trump has called for ABC, NBC, and CBS to all "lose their license" for reporting accurately in way that makes him look like a dope. Beyond the obvious 1st Amendment bit, it's also not a thing that can happen (there is no such license), and also is TOTALLY FUCKED UP.

it would appear that his only strategy right now is to use his own idiotic anger to rile up the normies and get them to the polls. And if that doesnt work, transfer that anger to them so that all hell breaks loose after he loses and refuses to accept the result.

Trump is the king of "I don't even know where to start with this".

Aww, he's just fishing for suckers, as usual. Without a fishing license, as usual.

Worth perhaps clarifying that it's not a thing that he can do directly, but does still signal that as president it remains a thing he is genuinely invested in trying to achieve, even if by other means

I don't get where the news media continues to support him though. I get revenue is great with him but If he gets in power again, they won't last. Can't make money when fascist dictator shuts you down.

I imagine if he was installed as dictator, there will be ONE trump run network, same as in Russia. It won’t be ABC, NBC or CBS.

I would like to know what's entailed by "no such license", since I (as a Canadian) assumed it related toward FCC broadcasting licenses. is that another empty threat of his?
