President Donald Trump took to Truth Social early Saturday morning to blast MSNBC as a “threat to our democracy.”
“MSNBC, COMMONLY KNOWN AS MSDNC, IS A THREAT TO OUR DEMOCRACY. SUCH LYING AND MISREPRESENTATION. BAD PEOPLE AT THE TOP,” Trump wrote.
Trump railed against MSNBC last month as well, questioning whether the news outlet should “even have a right to broadcast”.
“MSDNC is even worse than CNN. They shouldn’t even have a right to broadcast — Only in America!,” Trump posted to Truth Social, responding to a report from Mediaite about CNN facing layoffs.
These comments from Trump come amidst battles between the president and multiple other news outlets.
The Associated Press was barred from White House Events after the outlet ignored Trump’s executive order renaming the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America in its reporting. The White House’s barring of the news outlet was listed as the primary reason the outlet is now suing the White House.
Trump is also involved in another lawsuit against CBS, in which he is seeking damages for what he claims to be deceptive editing of the now notorious “60 Minutes” interview with Vice President Kamala Harris.
MSNBC’s parent company, NBCUniversal, recently settled a lawsuit against them after the outlet claimed Georgia gynecologist Dr. Mahendra Amin performed unnecessary hysterectomies at an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) center.

I see what you did there. Go away. Baiting.
Can’t do that. They don’t need FCC licenses. Network News does.
At this point msnbc are so crazy they are a parody of themselves - and their lack of resources is being demonstrated in their inability to keep up with the pace of the Trump administration.
Put a lid on MSNBC they're done.
Further kick them in the nuts Mr. President.
“...They shouldn’t even have a right to broadcast — Only in America!,”
Is that the Trump quote that’s giving y’all heartburn?
Doesn’t sound to me like he’s threatening their right to broadcast. Seems that he’s saying that in a just and righteous world they shouldn’t and wouldn’t be allowed, but “only in America” with our free speech laws can they get away with saying the things that they do.
I agree with him!
this is extremely dangerous to Our Democracy which is incredibly Strong but unbelievably Fragile.
Ha haaaaa! That’s going to leave a mark.
He’s insulting them and trolling them at the same time. Take a breath.
It’s like them screeching that he called himself the king! When he was responding to the NY governor’s stupid comment. He’s a troll master.
I disagree. He’s wrong on this. Msnbc is not threat to democracy. They are completely irrelevant.
That is true. He gets them to say things that he then makes them live up to by stuffing it down in her throat. He is very good at this.
A lot of people do not know when to shut up. If I don't like something, I work to do something about it. You can make all the harsh comments towards me you like. ALL it will do is strengthen my resolve. Try another statement. Bring it.
None of the names mentioned can light a candle to me after what government entities have done to me. You have no idea. I promise.
1000%
I’m not your enemy and I don’t see how saying “if you don’t like it don’t watch it” is a harsh comment directed towards you. You seem a little hostile toward somebody who agrees with you about 95%. Are you really saying i should just shut up because we have a disagreement? No, you can’t really mean that. I am ready for them to be finished off as well, but at this point they don’t need much help, they are doing a terrific job of that all by themselves. I tend to think that the more they talk the better for our side. And we are on the same side, have no doubt about that. I have been posting here for 25 years and you are probably the first guy to ever tell me to shut up. Twice. Take a chill pill and aim your hostility at the bad guys, I guarantee it isn’t me.
And furthermore, I would do everything I could do to pull their broadcasting license. They still have their free speech, they can just speak out on a street corner, with a bullhorn.
Soon they will not have any litigation money left.
