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.

    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.
