President Donald Trump<\/a> on Thursday suggested that the federal government might revoke the licenses of broadcast television networks that are “against me.”<\/p>\n Trump’s comment came a day after ABC suspended airing the “Jimmy Kimmel<\/a> Live!” show because of comments its host made linking the alleged killer of conservative activist Charlie Kirk<\/a> to Trump’s MAGA movement.<\/p>\n “There is a license. I’ll give you an example,” Trump told reporters.<\/p>\n “I have read someplace that the networks were 97% against me, again, 97% negative, and yet I won and easily, all 7 swing states,” the president said, referring to his 2024 election win.<\/p>\n “They’re 97% against, they give me only bad press, I mean, they’re getting a license,” Trump said.<\/p>\n “I would think maybe their license should be taken away,” Trump said.<\/p>\n The president said that the decision “will be up to Brendan Carr,” the chairman of the Federal Communications Commission.<\/p>\n “I think Brendan Carr is outstanding, he’s a patriot,” said Trump, who nominated Carr to his position. “He loves our country, and he’s a tough guy. So we’ll have to see.”<\/p>\n This is breaking news.
