Trump has a ‘maximum’ meltdown on social media after hate-watching ‘60 Minutes’
The president snapped after watching a TV show he didn’t like and said CBS should lose its license.

Donald Trump on Sunday called for “maximum fines and punishment” against CBS and its corporate parent, Paramount, over Sunday night’s “60 Minutes” broadcast.
In two separate posts on his Truth Social website, Trump complained about the show’s interview with then-Vice President Kamala Harris last year ― which he is suing the company over ― and railed against Sunday night’s reports on Greenland and the war in Ukraine.
Endless reports of Trump melting down. Nothing about real news or change.
So sick of seeing that cheetoh-face dim-wit puppet. Dreaming of times when we never see it again.
His tweets read like Donald Trump putting his own words into an LLM that edits text to sound like Donald Trump. Like he typed his normal nonsense into ChatGPT and said "make it sound smart but still like Donald Trump."
What could this guy do that could be illegal and punishable? What?
“This is why we can’t elect women to power! They are too emotionally unstable and we’ll be in WW3 within a month!”
-Sexist chuds
Yeah, about that…
That's because, for some reason, people don't treat anger like an emotion
*male anger. Angry women are still emotional and hysterical.
Or rather they consider anger to be an emotion of strength, rather than one of fear
Yep, thank God A WOMAN doesn't have the nuclear codes. Just imagine how scary that would be.
Blatant threats of government retaliation against private citizens.
Clear violation of the First Amendment.
And nothing will happen.
Fuck Trump.
Does anyone else remember when "senile old man yells at the TV" wasn't relevant political news*? I do. Can we please go back to those times?
Oh, pre-2016, how I miss you.
(It's relevant because he has toadies in place to enforce his insane whims).
I remember when hearing from the president was special and they would prepare a statement or speech. It made news because it was important and rare.
Now it's a multiple times a day occurrence of verbal diarrhea.
Hitler was notorious for his temper tantrums. He is confirmed to have watched Charlie Chaplin's iconic 1940 film 'Thr Great Dictator' but never said or wrote what he thought of it. Charlie Chaplin said that he would have given anything to know what he thought of it.
Maybe they just showed him the same cut as in Iron Sky (2012). It would be amazin if that joke was that deep.
Softest President of all time. Like wet paper.
He's 10 ply. Soft AF.
He's as strong and resilient as a fart in the wind!
Fun Fact:
In British English, "Trump" means the same as "fart" (and has done for over 100 years):"(intransitive) British slang to expel intestinal gas through the anus" Collins English Dictionary
"to release gas from the bowels through the bottom"
Cambridge English Dictionary"slang or colloquial. The act of breaking wind audibly"
Oxford English Dictionary
He's so moist.
He urged FCC Chair Brendan Carr, who was named to the position by Trump, to deliver “substantial” penalties to the network for what he called “unlawful and illegal behavior.”
“CBS is out of control, at levels never seen before, and they should pay a big price for this,” he wrote.
In Trump's mind, saying something he doesn't want you to say is "unlawful and illegal". And since both Congress and the Supreme Court have decided that he is never wrong, and law enforcement now operates by kidnapping people and trafficking them into life imprisonment and slavery without trial, that is the de facto reality.

This is fucked up and it's terrifying that's the new reality
"...at levels never seen before"
its over 9000!
or...
8000 if you're og. so tired of the maga dumbz.
60 minutes: "...this one goes up to 11."
and law enforcement now operates by kidnapping people and trafficking them into life imprisonment and slavery without trial
Oh, honey. You don't think those people are still alive, do you?
"Truth, Justice and the American Way!" Changed to "Money, Easy Money and Stolen Money...but only for all my friends!".
Free means all. Rise or fall.
Cluster B personality disorders, specifically Narcissistic types, aren’t keen on truth, they create their own “truth” and gaslight anyone who contradicts that personal “truth”. Allegedly.
Cluster B, both borderline and narcissistic types, fear exposure of who and what they really are at baseline. The difference is a borderline will turn that anger and madness inward, possibly to the point of self harm and suicide, while the narcissistic type will turn that anger and vitriol at the source of potential or real exposure of truth. Allegedly.
It gets even weirder: a narcissists sense of reality checking is impaired such that they are unable to accept facts that contradict their viewpoint. If their statements/opinions collide with reality, they dismiss it as they hold themselves above reality. They don't / can't learn as this would imply there are gaps in their knowledge and whoever is the messenger of such contradicting facts will incur wrath to allow them to heal, no matter how tactful this is brought to them. Narcissists don't lie (in their mind) and this is akin to something like psychosis or delusion. This is different from psychopaths who are aware of their lies but the motivation differs in that a psychopath does it for external gain (to obtain a goal) whereas narcissists do this for internal gains (so called narcissists supply - feeding the ego). One could speculate that a narcissistic autocrat and his followers (Trump and MAGAs) suffer from shared psychosis.
The real pity is as damaging as narcissistic personality disorder is, few get treatment because they’re just sane enough most of the time to not be institutionalized, even temporarily.
Vs borderlines who get there by virtue of suicidal ideation, suicide attempts, and self harm.
The real damage of using OCD, ADHD, and narcissist outside of truly diagnosable situations has no doubt been realized in the complete absence of recognition in the present political climate. So now we have a social movement based on one narcissist’s self constructed reality. Allegedly.
This explains so much Trump. Thank you.
I've been in two abusive relationships as an adult. Two years with a woman who I'm pretty sure had BPD. Five years with a man who hits all the markers for NPD. This tracks, based on my anecdotal experience.
“They are not a ‘News Show,’ but a dishonest Political Operative simply disguised as ‘News,’ and must be responsible for what they have done, and are doing,” the president wrote.
Isn't this clown being sued by the same firm that sued Fox "News" and won?
We need to protect these 60 minutes people. They’re very brave and patriotic. We owe them protection for their service to America right now
"maximum fines and punishment"
Sure. Those are both 0, jackass.
He should just go ahead and have that stroke he's been foreshadowing for years.
Science will later tell us he was having a 60-year-long stroke. Ironically, the “greatest” stroke of all time.
“They are not a ‘News Show,’ but a dishonest Political Operative simply disguised as ‘News’”
Shocked pikachu used “projecting”
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe this is the 60 minutes in question?
Trump needs to be removed from office and we should be out in the streets calling for nothing less
We were on the fifth & will be again on the nineteenth.

Also, here's the main 50501 website in case anyone wants more information.
This guy has himself surrounded by yes men and is locked into his own disinformation bubble for most of the time. Getting a glimpse of what people who aren't kissing his ass really are thinking about him must have been quite the whiplash for his tiny sick mind to take.
I watch 60 Minutes regularly. Mostly the mainstream media is way too easy on this administration. While this wasn’t some crushing indictment, I can see why Trump was unhappy about it. And Zelenskyy was being super diplomatic. I know deep down he just wants to tell Trump to go fuck himself.
This week on The Americans, they discover that they elected the old man who yells at the TV! Hilarity ensues when he chucks the remote and breaks the screen then goes on a wacky adventure to buy another TV under the new tariffs!
Not maximum enough if he's still breathing afterwards.
I thought this was the onion for a good 2 seconds.

FCC: "No."
Yeah, but only because "CBS" doesn't have a broadcast license, stations do.
Also, cable TV doesn't use "broadcast licenses", and IPTV & streaming certainly don't.
A lot of what Trump does makes sense when you realize his brain ossified in 1982.

If that were true he wouldn't be such a fanboy for Russia. He didn't become an asset for them until 1987.
You mean the FCC chair that has recently taken to wearing a pin with Trump's fat fucking face on it? I think you mean...
FCC: Sure thing, bossman.
But he was put there by Trump, so he’ll do it. Just like all these other agencies.
