Share and Follow

Donald Trump called for NBC News to be stripped of its license for being a ‘pawn’ of the Democratic Party in a blistering social media spree. 

The president criticized a network on his Truth Social platform on Saturday night, describing its programming as ‘terrible’ and its management as ‘even worse.’ 

‘They are an arm of the Democrat Party, and should be held accountable for that,’ Trump wrote. 

He added that ‘likewise, Fake News ABC!!! MAGA.’ 

In another post minutes later, Trump wrote: ‘Networks aren’t allowed to be political pawns for the Democrat Party. 

‘It has become so outrageous that, in my opinion, their licenses could, and should, be revoked! MAGA.’ 

The tirade comes months after Trump signed an executive order slashing funding for PBS and NPR in May. 

Trump challenged the publicly funded networks, accusing them of conservative bias and claiming they were ‘wasting billions’ on ‘terrible’ broadcasts on Thursday night.

Donald Trump demanded that NBC News lose its license, accusing it of being a ‘tool’ for the Democratic Party with ‘awful’ programming, in a series of strong social media posts Saturday night.

In his postings on Saturday night, Trump also branded the network’s owner Comcast as ‘Concast’, and noted that NBC’s viewership is down almost 28 percent this year. 

In recent ratings, NBC Nightly News has seen a decline of over 600,000 viewers in just four weeks after announcing that night anchor Lester Holt would be leaving. 

Trump’s social media spree continued. After he accused NBC of being a ‘pawn’ for the Democrats, he then laid into his rival party’s spending during the 2024 presidential election. 

He said he was ‘looking at’ the huge sums of money the Democratic Party spent during the election cycle, which some estimates put at over $1 billion. 

Trump singled out reported payments of ‘$11 million to singer Beyoncé’ for an endorsement, which saw the artist appear on stage with Kamala Harris but not perform. 

The president, writing hours after playing a round of golf on his golf course in Turnberry, Scotland on Saturday, said: ‘She never sang, not one note, and left the stage to a booing and angry audience!’ 

Trump also highlighted ‘Three Million Dollars for “expenses,” to Oprah, Six Hundred Thousand Dollars to very low rated TV “anchor,” Al Sharpton (a total lightweight!), and others to be named for doing, absolutely NOTHING!’

Trump also noted that NBC's viewership is down almost 28% this year, with recent ratings also showing NBC Nightly News has seen a decline of over 600,000 viewers in just four weeks after announcing that night anchor Lester Holt (pictured) would be leaving

He also accused Harris’ campaign of failing to appropriately register these payments, accusing Democrats of major campaign finance law violations. 

‘These ridiculous fees were incorrectly stated in the books and records,’ Trump wrote. 

‘YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED TO PAY FOR AN ENDORSEMENT. IT IS TOTALLY ILLEGAL TO DO SO. 

‘Can you imagine what would happen if politicians started paying for people to endorse them. All hell would break out! 

‘Kamala, and all of those that received Endorsement money, BROKE THE LAW. They should all be prosecuted! Thank you for your attention to this matter.’
