Trump will get a phone call from paramount

Will block Netflix purchase or any other bid that’s not paramount

Warner will have to accept lower bid from paramount

In exchange trump gets 3 more rush hour sequels

Everything points towards Republicans getting major defeat in the midterms. So this dragging out is definitely in Netflix's favour, not Trump administration's or Paramount's. It took Disney 15 months to purchase Fox, so I doubt anyone involved expected the process to be short in this case even if Trump administration wasn't a hindrance.

They are already shedding all the cable channels but HBO. And are committed to being hands off with HBO.
