‘Shouldn’t their very valuable Broadcast Licenses be terminated?’
PALM BEACH, Florida – Just after midnight Wednesday morning, President Donald Trump went on a tear against major television networks and their late-night personalities, as he threatened to terminate their broadcast licenses due to unfavorable coverage of him and his allies.
Trump personally singled out Stephen Colbert of CBS, calling him a “dead man walking,” since the network is not renewing his “Late Show.”
“Stephen Colbert is a pathetic trainwreck, with no talent or anything else necessary for show business success,” Trump said on Truth Social.
“Now, after being terminated by CBS, but left out to dry, he has actually gotten worse, along with his nonexistent ratings. Stephen is running on hatred and fumes ~ A dead man walking! CBS should, ‘put him to sleep,’ NOW, it is the humanitarian thing to do!'”
The president then wondered aloud: “Who has the worst Late Night host, CBS, ABC, or NBC??? They all have three things in common: High Salaries, No Talent, REALLY LOW RATINGS!”
Trump then reiterated a theme about yanking the broadcast licenses of networks.
