The White House leader said that 97% of television channels opposed him and created a bad image of him. Therefore, “maybe their license should be undone.”
US President Donald Trump said television channels that continue to criticize him should select licenses. He said this on Thursday, September 18, while talking to journalists aboard the aircraft, the BBC reports.
Thus, Trump responded to the question of suspension of popular broadcast presented Jimmy Kimmel. The comedian’s night show was removed from the program for an uncertain period due to accusations against Maga activists and critical comments about Trump himself.
The White House -owner boasts that he is convinced that he won the president’s election, even despite the fact that “97% of the networks against me, they say negatively, create a bad image to me – maybe their licenses need to be called.”
Brendan Carr, led by the federal body responsible for regulating the globe of television broadcasting, said the case of suspension of Kimmel was an “easy way”. If the channels don’t like this decision, they “can come and pass their license.”
Meanwhile, lawyers, whose opinions quoted the BBC, believed that the Trump administration would not be able to remove the license from television settings due to political statements – it forbids the first amendment to the US Constitution, guaranteeing freedom of speech.
Keep in mind that the ABC television channel decided to suspend the broadcast of the night’s show broadcast Jimmy Kimmel for an uncertain period of time for a scandal about his statements about possible killing conservative activist Charlie Kirk.
As reported, in August, Trump threatened the NBC and ABC to remove licenses for the alleged distribution of majority negative materials about his presidency.
