President Trump openly threatened Wednesday to go after the licenses of NBC News and the "Networks," as he ratcheted up his complaints about "Fake News."

“With all of the Fake News coming out of NBC and the Networks, at what point is it appropriate to challenge their License? Bad for country!” Trump tweeted.

This was after he challenged the accuracy of an NBC News report that said he sought a “nearly tenfold increase” in the nuclear arsenal during a summer meeting.

“Fake @NBCNews made up a story that I wanted a ‘tenfold’ increase in our U.S. nuclear arsenal. Pure fiction, made up to demean. NBC=CNN!” Trump tweeted Wednesday.

We know the execs running NBC support rapists like Weinstein and Clinton. We should be able to pull the license.

I’ll say it again. One provable-fake news ... your Whitehouse Press Room creds are lifted for 1 month. 2 offenses - 1 year, 3 offenses ... strike three no more admittance.

"..The group became widely known in 2010 after the FBI prosecuted them in federal court for an alleged plan for violent revolt. The prosecution said this was to have involved killing a police officer and attacking the funeral with bombs. The presiding judge dismissed these charges. Three members pleaded guilty to possessing a machine gun and were sentenced to time served.."

Doesn't look like it stuck according to a Reuters article, FWIW.

A funny bunch.
"..We aren't dangerous. We couldn't overthrow F-Troop!" Hehehe. d;^)
