The president snapped after watching a TV show he didn’t like and said CBS should lose its license.

Donald Trump on Sunday called for “maximum fines and punishment” against CBS and its corporate parent, Paramount, over Sunday night’s “60 Minutes” broadcast.

In two separate posts on his Truth Social website, Trump complained about the show’s interview with then-Vice President Kamala Harris last year ― which he is suing the company over ― and railed against Sunday night’s reports on Greenland and the war in Ukraine.

    His tweets read like Donald Trump putting his own words into an LLM that edits text to sound like Donald Trump. Like he typed his normal nonsense into ChatGPT and said “make it sound smart but still like Donald Trump.”

    Endless reports of Trump melting down. Nothing about real news or change.

    So sick of seeing that cheetoh-face dim-wit puppet. Dreaming of times when we never see it again.

    Blatant threats of government retaliation against private citizens.

    Clear violation of the First Amendment.

    And nothing will happen.

    Fuck Trump.

      Well, technically the first amendment only affects Congress. Should be a slam dunk case for Trump with this Supreme Court.

        I feel like something you said is inaccurate. I feel like the Bill of Rights protects all people from all branches of the government.

    Hitler was notorious for his temper tantrums. He is confirmed to have watched Charlie Chaplin’s iconic 1940 film ‘Thr Great Dictator’ but never said or wrote what he thought of it. Charlie Chaplin said that he would have given anything to know what he thought of it.

          The allied forces explicitly decided not to try assassinating Hitler. They were worried someone more competent would take his place.

          Not really, he wasn’t. The myth of Nazi/fascist competence comes from a combination of propaganda and “right time, right place” in terms of when they took the reins of the German economy. A kind of funny example that isn’t Nazis, but their contemporary fascists, Mussolini’s Italian regime damaged the on-time performance of trains in Italy, but the regime kept saying the trains were running on time to the point where it’s become a whole saying about excusing fascism because of its competence/results (“at least the trains run on time”).

              It’s effective. If you listen to interviews where people give reasons they voted for mango Mussolini, it’s invariably something he declared regardless of reality or evidence.

              It shouldn’t take much listening to the guy to realize everything he says is BS but apparently some people only hear what they want to, and take that as fact

            Straight up, the dude has been the beneficiary of the most dick-riding post-humous propaganda ever, second maybe only to Robert E. Lee or Jeff Davis.

      “Man”? “Ogre”, or “Demon” or “Beast” or “AntiChrist” or many other epithets for evil beings are far more appropriate to refer to HitlerBeast.

        Nice, Ive been calling him HitlerPig, ever since I read that was the favored name by younger staffers in the Biden White House. I found it simulateously vicious, hilarious, and accurate, so it’s become my go-to name in print.

    “They are not a ‘News Show,’ but a dishonest Political Operative simply disguised as ‘News,’ and must be responsible for what they have done, and are doing,” the president wrote.

    Isn’t this clown being sued by the same firm that sued Fox “News” and won?

    “maximum fines and punishment”

    Sure. Those are both 0, jackass.

    He should just go ahead and have that stroke he’s been foreshadowing for years.
