    Trump has repeatedly shown he can and will ignore all the rules restricting him. Furthermore he’d have immunity for official acts. So firing everyone until someone agrees to just pull the licenses of any station named ABC is right up his alley and possible now.

      Hell he can claim ABC is a terrorist organization and then sic the federal government on them. Since he identified them as terrorists dealing with them would be considered an “official act” covered by the immunity ruling…

        I don’t think he’d go that hard that quick. Last night reminded us that while he can be goaded, he isn’t stupid.

            Yeah but you aren’t who he was talking to. He definitely successfully messaged to conservatives worried about immigration and security.
