Trump rips CNN boss: 'His ratings suck & AT&T should fire him'

Source: The Hill

President Trump ripped CNN President Jeff Zucker on Twitter Thursday morning, saying that network’s ratings "suck" and Zucker should be fired, amid heightened rhetoric in a feud between the president and the news channel.

“The hatred and extreme bias of me by @CNN has clouded their thinking and made them unable to function. But actually, as I have always said, this has been going on for a long time,” the president tweeted.

“Little Jeff Z has done a terrible job, his ratings suck, & AT&T should fire him to save credibility!” he wrote.



Trump then targeted NBC and MSNBC Chairman Andrew Lack in a subsequent tweet.

so he can watch TV and his favorite porn sites full-time, coming up for air whenever someone calls to tell him how great he is.

Little Donald T has done a terrible job, his ratings suck, & U.S.A. should fire/impeach him to save credibility!

a free and open press is a dagger in the heart of an authoritarian dictator.

Sarah Sanders more and more reminds me of Bagdad Bob, only Bob was more likable.

doesn't he realize how many enemies he's making every day? Enemies that will remember his words long after he's out of office.

Enemies that easily out-earn him, will have financial leverage over him in the private sector, and cut him off from every viable, valid investor?

I don't know Big Money, but I'd presume one thing about it: don't piss off the people I'll want to do business with in the future who will be around long after the bully pulpit is no longer mine.

I'd inform Mr Trump that this statement means absolutely nothing. Biased for or biased against?

Ah, what's the point though.

With each tweet, he shows us more and more how weak, unstable and insecure he is. If he only knew how he sounded to the sane people in this country.

was considered an abuse of the office?

This is why he must be impeached even if it's the day before his term would otherwise have run out.
