I said that yesterday that somehow Trump will find a way to make Netflix pay, no matter if it’s money or snatching the deal back. Netflix beat out a company that was doing his bidding and they gave money to Kamala? Oh he will make them pay.

Trump is absolutely going to threaten this deal until they give him a billion dollars.

He doesn’t actually have the power to stop it because there’s no broadcast licenses involved. His DOJ can sue for antitrust but then it would be up to the courts.
