Regarding the Feb 24th post from Donald Trump calling CEO Brian Roberts a "l-wlife", is there any other reason for that other than Comcast's current ownership of MSNBC? Here is a link to an image of that original Truth Social post, but reposted from someone else on X: https://x.com/H4H1776/status/1893890402404430322/photo/1. What are the retaliation options? The Trump administration could rightfully go after Comcast for using its monopoly power to subsidize its shrinking cable TV business by fleecing broadband customers? Or the Trump folks go take away NBC's free spectrum (put it up for auction or repurpose it?), but they'd have to do that to CBS and ABC as well.

Keep in mind, Trump already is dealing with Down Syndrome and now apparently he has some sort of Brain Rot condition
Trump seems to like going after folks he has a personal vendetta against. He and Brian used to be buddies in The Apprentice days, then Brian fired him, and it seems he didnt take the breakup well. Hurting or destroying one of the 'woke legacy media' companies he so loathes AND forcing an ex-pal to lose a shitton of money? he'd be giddy.
there's some things cc should very rightfully be challenged on, there's some things that seem pretty superfluous and silly to me, but i dont think actual legality is the motivation here. if msnbc had been fox and brian had kissed the ring, i doubt think we'd be here
