Donald John Trump (born June 14, 1946) is the 45th and current president of the United States. Before entering politics, he was a businessman and television personality. Trump was born and raised in the New York City borough of Queens, and received a bachelor's degree in economics from the Wharton School. He took charge of his family's real-estate business in 1971, renamed it The Trump Organization, and expanded its operations from Queens and Brooklyn into Manhattan.
The company built or renovated skyscrapers, hotels, casinos, and golf courses. Trump later started various side ventures, mostly by licensing his name. He owned the Miss Universe and Miss USA beauty pageants from 1996 to 2015, and produced and hosted The Apprentice, a reality television show, from 2003 to 2015. Forbes estimates his net worth to be $3.1 billion.
FCC chairwoman Jessica Rosenworcel is condemning Donald Trump‘s attacks on CBS over edits done to a 60 Minutes interview, calling them “threats against free speech” that are “serious and should not be ignored.” Trump has been attacking the CBS program over edits made to its interview with Kamala Harris.
In a post on Truth Social on Thursday morning, he wrote, “60 Minutes is a major part of the News Organization of CBS, which has just created the Greatest Fraud in Broadcast History.
CBS should lose its license, and it should be bid out to the Highest Bidder, as should all other Broadcast Licenses, because they are just as corrupt as CBS — and maybe even WORSE!” In a statement, Rosenworcel said, “While repeated attacks against broadcast stations by the former President may now be familiar, these threats against free speech are serious and should not be ignored.
As I’ve said before, the First Amendment is a cornerstone of our democracy. The FCC does not and will not revoke licenses for broadcast stations simply because a political candidate disagrees with or dislikes content or coverage.” Trump and others on the right have compared Harris’ response to a question from Bill Whitaker that ran in a 60 Minutes promo to one that ultimately aired on the program.
