Trump calls for removal of Susan Rice as streaming platform pursues takeover of Warner Bros Discovery

Donald Trump has told Netflix to remove the Democratic foreign policy expert Susan Rice from its board or “face the consequences”, while the streaming platform is locked in an extraordinary corporate battle to take control of Warner Bros Discovery (WBD).

In comments posted on his Truth Social platform, the US president described Rice – who served as national security adviser to Barack Obama and UN ambassador and White House adviser under Joe Biden – as a “political hack” and accused her of having “no talent or skills”.

Trump’s comments herald a fresh intervention in the takeover battle between Netflix and Paramount Skydance for the studios and streaming businesses of WBD only weeks after promising not to get involved.

Look at that! The free market regulating itself without any intervention from the government! Just what the republicans love most, right?

Gosh, another black woman Trump can't respect. What are the odds!

Netflix should file a personal lawsuit against the president. Then file one against Paramount for putting him up to it, as the personal one against the president would probably get thrown out even though you could argue he's acting in his personal capacity, which he is.

Well Netflix? Y'all wanted to Trump to be in charge of your business, this is what that looks like.

Political hack with no talent or skills you say?

Absolutely nothing to do with her race, that's all I can say for sure! /s

It's partly projection, but he also can't bear to see anyone who's not a white man running anything.

It’s part of the cluster B personality disorder script. Cluster B is doing cluster B things.
