Trump is spouting empty rhetoric and impotent anger. Television networks don’t hold licenses (for the umpteenth time); stations do. And the only way to remove them is in court, by due process of law. Which means in accordance to precedent and the Federal Communications Act.ICYMI — Our thin-skinned president’s latest fascist late night ramblings, threatening the broadcast licenses of those who criticize him and using violent rhetoric towards Colbert pic.twitter.com/eJRajrCxMT

Needless to say, broadcasting shows the President disapproves of is not grounds to terminate a broadcast license.
If the FCC chair wants to start suits against CBS affiliates, he’s welcome to do so. There’s an obvious reason he doesn’t do so “because Trump said so.”
Trump is a lame duck and a failed authoritarian. Treat him accordingly.
Meanwhile, consider which is worse: Trump’s futile anger and futile cries, like his undiplomatic attacks on the sovereignty of Greenland (Congress will NEVER green light the forced annexation of Greenland), or the obvious fact the POTUS is an impotent and powerless figure, raging on the heath in his imagination amidst the tempest that is the chaos of his mind. In the national, and the international stage.
All because egg prices spiked for a moment.
