Trump urges Netflix to remove Susan Rice or face consequences
It seems former President Donald Trump is at it again, using his social media presence to call out media companies. This time, he’s taken aim at Netflix, insisting they oust former United Nations Ambassador Susan Rice from its board of directors, or else. Trump’s comments come in response to remarks Rice made criticizing corporations that supported Trump during his presidency.
In a post on Truth Social, Trump called for Rice’s removal, labeling her a “racist” and a “political hack.” This demand from Trump coincides with Netflix’s bid to acquire Warner Bros. Discovery. The streaming service is currently fending off a competing bid from Paramount Skydance, a company Trump has previously shown favoritism towards.
Rice’s comments on the podcast “Stay Tuned with Preet Bharara” expressed concern about companies cozying up to Trump. She warned that Trump’s policies were unlikely to remain popular in the long term and that businesses aligning with him may face consequences. In response, Trump criticized Rice’s talents and questioned her value to Netflix.
It seems the battle between media companies and political figures is heating up once again. Stay tuned for updates as this story unfolds.
