If this would also allow the Radical Left Networks to "enlarge," I would not be happy. ABC & NBC, in particular, are a disaster - A VIRTUAL ARM OF THE DEMOCRAT PARTY. They should be viewed as an illegal campaign to the Radical Left. NO EXPANSION OF THE FAKE NEWS NETWORKS. If anything, make them SMALLER!

Trump uses a Newsmax article about FCC ownership rules to issue veiled regulatory threats against ABC and NBC, escalating his anti-media rhetoric by framing opposition networks as conducting an "illegal campaign" for Democrats. The post is notable for a sitting president publicly directing regulatory outcomes against named companies based on political content—a pattern consistent with authoritarian media control. The directive to "make them SMALLER!" from someone with actual regulatory power over these entities elevates this beyond standard political rhetoric. Defense mechanisms include splitting (good vs. bad media), projection (accusing networks of partisan coordination while himself directing policy via social media), and acting out. The paranoid framing of mainstream media as a criminal enterprise deepens a longstanding pattern of delegitimizing independent press. Danger level is elevated: while no violence is implied, the normalization of state power wielded against press freedom based on editorial content represents institutional-level threat.

Fact Checks (2)

"ABC and NBC are 'A VIRTUAL ARM OF THE DEMOCRAT PARTY'"

False

ABC is owned by Disney, NBC by Comcast. Both are publicly traded corporations with diverse audiences. Editorial slant is debatable but 'arm of the party' implies coordination that does not exist.

"Networks should be viewed as 'an illegal campaign to the Radical Left'"

False

No legal basis for characterizing network news coverage as illegal campaign contributions. First Amendment protects editorial decisions.

Context

Trump responds to a Newsmax article about FCC media ownership rules, opposing any expansion that would benefit "Radical Left Networks" (ABC, NBC). He signs off as "President DJT." The post is from 4:58 PM EST (assuming Mar-a-Lago), Sunday afternoon.

Authorship

The post has mixed signals. The ALL CAPS emphasis, emotional reactivity, and stream-of-consciousness quality suggest authentic Trump. However, the relatively coherent structure and inclusion of a Newsmax link suggest possible aide involvement in drafting. The "President DJT" sign-off is a Trump signature move. Weight of evidence: mostly authentic, possibly lightly polished.

Psychological Dynamics

This post reflects a sitting president using public communications to signal regulatory preferences regarding specific media companies—a pattern consistent with authoritarian media control impulses. The framing of opposition media as "an illegal campaign" represents paranoid attribution and a desire to weaponize regulatory power against perceived enemies.

Key Patterns

Splitting: Networks cleanly divided into good (Newsmax) and bad (ABC, NBC)
Grandiosity: Casual assertion of power to make companies "SMALLER"
Paranoid framing: Media as coordinated enemy operation
Authoritarian signaling: A president publicly directing regulatory outcomes against specific companies based on political alignment

Danger Assessment

The post advocates using state power to punish media organizations for editorial content, a hallmark of authoritarian governance. While not calling for violence, it normalizes regulatory retaliation against press freedom.
