Donald Trump suggested on Thursday that TV networks that cover him “negatively” could be punished by the government after his celebration of ABC suspending the late-night host Jimmy Kimmel.
On Air Force One, the president spoke to reporters on his flight back to the US from his state visit to the UK. The president said major US networks were “97% against me”, though he did not offer evidence to prove this figure or detail how this conclusion was evaluated. He said he read the statistic “someplace”.
