He took aim at NBC, which made him a star on The Apprentice, after it reported he wanted to boost America's nuclear arsenal almost tenfold.

Mr Trump labelled the report "fake news" and "pure fiction".

NBC also angered the White House last week when it reported the secretary of state had called Mr Trump "a moron".

The US president tweeted on Wednesday: "Fake @NBCNews made up a story that I wanted a 'tenfold' increase in our US nuclear arsenal. Pure fiction, made up to demean. NBC = CNN!"

In a follow-up tweet, he said: "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!"

Walter Shaub, who headed the US Office of Government Ethics under Barack Obama, responded on Twitter: "At what point? At the point when we cease to be a democracy."

The Committee to Protect Journalists also slammed the US president's tweet, saying that it serves as a poor example for other world leaders.

 

I get fighting with the media. All politicians do that. But to silence the media? Now that's playing from the Hitler playbook. I'm sure there are rubes that applaud this. Had Obama gone after anyone that claimed he wasn't American, the cries of Nazism would be so loud. 

What a clown this guy is. (cue BC2004 going after JT, which is laughable because I think he's a clown too, just a less dangerous clown)

Trump has reduced the office of POTUS to a childish sand box from which emanates not much more than trash talking. Today was a typical example, I felt sorry for JT having to sit beside Trump in the oval office as the asshole blathered on, licked his wounds about "fake news" as he calls everything that points out his nonsense and contradictions, etc., etc.  The scary part is he has his small fingers near "the codes", although I wouldn't be surprised if the joint chiefs have revisited the same scenario as they did with Nixon as he was facing impeachment and hitting the bottle so hard, i.e. keeping the "football" out of reach.

Trudeau is facing his biggest screw-up so far...losing NAFTA.    That would be the end for him.

He has to go to Trump and other American politicians for NAFTA mercy.

Trump doesn't have to go to Canada.

He certainly hasn't lost NAFTA. I would wager that Nieto and JT are quite capable of dealing with Trump. Donald would probably have trouble finding Canada on the map since American's are noted for their lack of geographical knowledge, and let's face it, he seems to not have been very well educated. Maybe he ripped himself off at Trump "college".

[bush_cheney2004]

Trump hasn't even visited Canada yet...he doesn't have to go to Ottawa or provincial politicians to beg for NAFTA mercy.

Trump is leading this NAFTA exercise, and Trudeau and Nieto have to react.

Another campaign promise kept....unlike mealy mouthed Trudeau.

[Omni]

The only thing mealy mouthed Trump is leading is the laughter and the scripts for SNL. Serious people ignore the idiot. Well perhaps other than his buddy Fat Kim.

I'm all for silencing communists who seek to undermine democratic society with misinformation. They got the young folks all confused and upset at their own country, as though Russia is any better. But this is in the wrong thread.

Trudeau has crossed the U.S. border many times...because he has to.

President Trump doesn't have to go to Canada.

Now why is that ?

Perhaps because government leaders not only in Canada, but also in Europe, want to avoid having to entertain such a buffoon. Merkel, Macron, for instance. JT is playing Trump like a cheap fiddle.

Trudeau is back in the United States to crawl on his knees to save NAFTA.

Trudeau has visited Trump far more than the Pittsburgh Penguins.

Trump's poll numbers are now better than Trudeau's...because pretty much anything he touches turns into a true turd.

Oh, so you agree a lot of what comes out of Trump's mouth is "shit".

No, I agree that Trudeau keeps crawling across the U.S. border to get some.

Another Canadian terrorist busted for conspiring to attack the U.S.

Trump should consider a travel ban.

No he flies across the border, and then he up scales Trump each and every time. Who wants a selfie with a phony twit like Trump?

Correct...he flies to the U.S. many times...because he has to.  

Trump makes Trudeau dance to Trump's NAFTA tune, just like he promised he would do.

Trump leads...Trudeau and his weak minions have no choice but to crawl back to the U.S., many times.

What I like is how Trudeau fends off Trump's ridiculous handshakes.

Are you suggesting the NBC is part of some communist plot against the west?

And BTW isn't it time to get over the fact the communists lost? They're all bunch of oligarchies now.

Yes, part of the Comcast (communist) group, annual revenue $80B, assets $180B.

I'm not sure the relevance to the topic, though.  Are people suggesting that having open media gives rise to conspiracy theories ?  If so, I agree.

Yes. Is that too much a stretch? It's not ridiculous. Espionage, intrigue, manipulation are rampant especially between the superpowers. And communism did not die, it's just having a nap.

As are you, Boges. You are wildly off topic!

Communism exists and it should exist, where people decide that is the form of government they want. There is communism in Israel, and in China, and it is blowing the doors off the USA. It exist in Vietnam/Laos/...  because there are too may countries that do not trust the deeply malevolent USA, and rightfully so,  so they need to maintain strict controls to prevent a US takeover.

I would welcome a US takeover vs. Commies any day. Because of liberty.

You know, there's someone on this site who routinely believes that every time her government arrests people, even thousands of people, journalists, teachers, civil servants, police, that they're all 'terrorists' simply because the government says they are.

I don't see your attitude as being even slightly different. If Trump says all Democrats should be locked up and all national media banned because they're liars and communists you'd cheer, right?

Nonsense. I have ever said anything to that effect whatsoever nor do I remotely feel that way. Please stay engaged in topic material only, as I always try to do. Do not worry about me.

You can't say you don't remotely feel that way when you're suggesting Trump's talk about yanking a network license because they're mean to him might be justified.
