Trump Demands Netflix Fire Susan Rice or Facing Consequences Worse Than Cancelled Shows
KEY POINTS
- â˘Donald Trump demanded on Truth Social that Netflix immediately fire Susan Rice from its board this past Saturday.
- â˘Susan Rice recently warned corporates on a podcast about consequences for companies aligning too closely with Trump.
- â˘The feud unfolds amid Netflix's Warner Bros. Discovery merger approval process under DOJ antitrust scrutiny.
In a plot twist funnier than most Netflix docuseries, Donald Trump publicly demanded that Netflix 'immediately terminate' ex-Obama and Biden national security advisor Susan Rice from its board. This came on a Saturday, right after Rice warned on the 'Stay Tuned with Preet Bharara' podcast about corporate loyalty to Trump, predicting an 'accountability agenda' for law-breaking companies that 'take a knee' to him. Despite trump claiming in December that Netflix's Warner Bros. Acquisition 'could be a problem,' he insisted in February he'd 'shouldn't be involved' and left it to the Department of Justice. Yet here we are, with Trump wielding Truth Social like a political machete, echoing right-wing celeb Laura Loomer's chant for Rice's firing, turning Netflix's high-stakes Warner Bros. Discovery merger into an even juicier primetime drama.
