President Trump on Tuesday called for ABC News to lose its license after one of its reporters peppered him with Oval Office questions — including whether his family’s business dealings with Saudi Arabia constituted a conflict of interest.
ABC’s Mary Bruce used Trump’s meeting with the Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman to also ask about the killing of journalist Jamal Khashoggi.
“People are wise to your hoax,” Trump said. “Your crappy company is one of the perpetrators.
“And I’ll tell you something, I think the license should be taken away from ABC because your news is so fake and is so wrong. And we have a great commissioner, a chairman, who should look at that,” he added.
Ultimately, he answered the question, explaining that he was not involved with the Trump Organization any longer to make overseas business decisions.
“I have nothing to do with the family business. I have left and I’ve devoted 100% of my energy [to running this country],” Trump said. “What my family does is fine. They do business all over. They’ve done very little in Saudi Arabia, actually, though I’m sure they can do a lot, and anything they’ve done has been very good.”
Bruce’s question about business ties came intertwined with a more explosive one: US intelligence’s conclusion that Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman approved the 2018 killing of Khashoggi, a Washington Post journalist.
In defending the crown prince, Trump said: “You’re mentioning somebody that was extremely controversial … A lot of people didn’t like that gentleman.”

MBS=Mohammed Bone Sawman
Have we all forgotten 9/11 15 of the 19 hijackers citizens of MBS’s kingdom?
But no the problem was Iraq and WMD none found after 2003 invasion.
I remember one excuse was that the WMD was transferred to Syria.
Then it was Syria and its civil war starting with Obama and WMD brought up chemical weapons alleged a deal cut to remove stuff from Syria by Obama.
Assad allegedly used chemical weapons and DJT bombed Syria twice in 2017 and 2018 over those incidents.
The Neocon endgame after 9/11 was and is Iran again nuclear program WMD allegations that’s why we got into Afghanistan and Iraq following 9/11. Both next to Iran.
Now DJT wants Bagram Air Base in Afghanistan back.
Regardless, her wuestions vwere wildly inappropriate for a state function in the Oval Office with a foreign head of state.
“hreatens to pull broadcast license”
I’m so sick of this. JUST DO IT!
You know they aren’t going to take this seriously and will just continue to do what they’re doing.
No they weren’t. Those questionable can and should be asked.
And Trump can’t pull any licenses.
“And Trump can’t pull any licenses.”
Of course he can.
BRUCE HAS BECOME MORE POMPOUS & SMUG EACH WEEK.
NASTY PERSON
CERTAINLY HEAVILY BIASED.
GETTING HARDER TO WATCH ABC EACH DAY
I’m with you on this one.
Her report on the ABC evening news later focused on Trump’s business dealings in Saudi Arabia and how much money the Trump family is making there. She’s a despicable bitch.
Would it be possible to go 48 hours without him saying something stupid? It was a legitimate question. In America, you don’t pull a broadcast license because someone has a politician and uncomfortable question.
Issue number two, his answer was sickening.
“In defending the crown prince, Trump said: “You’re mentioning somebody that was extremely controversial … A lot of people didn’t like that gentleman.”
“Things happen, but he knew nothing about it. And would you leave it at that?” he said. “You don’t have to embarrass our guest by asking a question.””
He has no problem with murder as long as somebody is controversial and people don’t like them. And things happen… What an ignorant ass he’s turned into. Last week it was the Isis leader in his office, now this horrific person from the nation that attacked us on 9/11.
And he wasted an entire day little farting around with this guy and didn’t do a single thing for America today. Another middle finger to the middle class.
What’s inappropriate about it? Is the American press supposed to be servile, and ask him warm puff piece questions? Is he getting enough sleep? What’s his favorite color?
Bullsquat
That’s what she asked of democrats president
“What’s your favorite ice cream? “
“And he wasted an entire day little farting around with this guy and didn’t do a single thing for America today.”
Perhaps you missed the $1 trillion in new investments in America.
It’s infantile to think he can pull a broadcast license from ABC because a reporter asked a relevant and pointed question in a press conference. That would get correctly swatted down in the courts immediately.
Is it a new thing in the White House to host a murderer every week or two? Netanyahu, Zelinsky, the Pfizer CEO, ISIS Al Sharaa, Bin Sawz-all… who’s next?
I do see your angle, though. Fair enough.
She’s just doing the exact job her bosses want her to. ABC, NBC and CBS want to destroy Trump and that sure isn’t any secret. They’d even jump up and down for joy if there was the final solution. If you think they hate Trump, well they hate those of us who voted for him even more.
Great! More Saudi influence in America. Hooray!
