Trump should revisit all Network contracts between them and the FCC to ensure America is getting its fairshare of profits to fund critical infrastructure. Areas to be helped include: building the Wall, defense spending, etc. No more "million-dollar" 30 second commercial spots! All sporting activities that support anti-American activities will pay a special penalty on top of their fees.
Great idea.
Contracts between the FCC and networks? I’ve never heard of any such thing.

US Defense Department paid 14 NFL teams $5.4M to honor soldiers
The money has been allocated for things like showing soldiers on screen at games, which has been justified as a recruitment tool.

The FCC oversees the bandwidth and use of various parts the usable communication spectrum, prevents signal conflicts between users and not much more. The FCC issues licenses to users, but makes no contracts, AFAIK.
Profits and losses of the licensees are none of the FCC’s business, nor are those included in their charter.
============================================
REALITY CHECK---The Trump DOJ is investigating up to $6 billion in legal settlement money that the Obama administration steered toward progressive causes and allies in left-wing advocacy groups.
A memo sent to US attorneys on July 28, 2017, published by Breitbart news, ordered a review of a decade’s worth of payouts that Congressional Republicans have called a political slush fund.
Former Attorneys General Eric Holder, and his successor, Loretta Lynch, regularly arranged for major corporations to make large “donations” to left-leaning groups like UnidosUS — formerly the National Council of La Raza — and NeighborWorks America. (Excerpt) Read more at nypost.com ...
The Obama factotums conspired to use govt power during settlement negotiations against large banks that to end banking, environmental, civil-rights, and other contrived federal lawsuits.
The Obamanacrats brazenly colluded to extort govt-mandated settlement monies-----outrageous government penalties they themselves set....in order to subsidize activist left-wing groups.
The Mafia never had a more devious plan to profit. Jesse Jackson wishes he had thought of it.
Tax Obama’s “federal inheritance”.....tax monies moved offshore.
You always hear how the NFL is so patriotic showing members of the military. Apparently they only lower themselves to this level to turn a quick dirty buck. Screw ‘em.
Two or three years ago, we visited the WWII museum in NOLA, and they had a big NFL exhibit on the first floor. Vets in the NFL or some such.
LIke my cable bill isn’t high enough already.
That’s a great museum. I never dreamed a Higgins boat was that flimsy.
It’s not Constitutional for presidents to redirect money appropriated for one purpose/agency to another. Some have tried, gotten slapped down by SCOTUS.
We do not have white privilege in the USA but we do have liberal privilege.
What contracts with the FCC? There are no such things.
