Donald Trump: "The Don" explodes after TV show: US President fumes with rage

Donald Trump: "The Don" explodes after TV show: US President fumes with rage news.de editor Tobias Rüster • 28 million • 2 minutes read Donald Trump is fuming with rage once again. Since January 2025, Donald Trump has ruled the White House again – and his fury at the media knows no bounds. Especially on his own network, Truth Social, the president regularly fumes against critics who don't suit him. This time, it's about a TV show that made Trump's patience snap. Donald Trump fumes with rage: US President furious after TV show After the latest edition of "60 Minutes" on CBS, Trump blurted out: "Almost every week, 60 Minutes mentions my name in a derogatory manner, but this weekend's coverage topped everything," he ranted in a post on Truth Social. Two topics were discussed that particularly riled the former president: the war in Ukraine, which he still sees as the result of alleged election rigging, and the Greenland story. In his anger, Trump announced he would sue CBS: "I am so honored that I will sue 60 Minutes, CBS Fake News, and Paramount for their fraudulent, incomprehensible reporting." "The Don" explodes: "They should pay a heavy price for this." But that wasn't enough. Donald Trump was apparently so upset that he would have preferred to pull the plug on the entire CBS network. Then the screen would go black. Trump thundered openly online: "This is not a "newscast," but a dishonest political organization simply masquerading as "news," and they must be held accountable for what they have done and are doing. They should lose their license! It is to be hoped that the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), under the leadership of its esteemed Chairman Brendan Carr, will impose the maximum penalty for their unlawful and illegal conduct. CBS is out of control, on an unprecedented scale, and they should pay a heavy price," he said, unable to recover.
