Trump has threatened to withdraw emission permits from critical channels

"I've read somewhere that the channels are 97% against me, 97% negative, and yet I won easily in the seven key states (the presidential ones). 97% against me, they give me bad publicity and they only have a license, I'd say they should take their permission," he said on the Air Force One plane.

U.S. President Donald Trump has threatened to withdraw emission permits from channels that criticize his work.

"I've read somewhere that 97% of the channels are mine, 97% are negative, and yet I won easily in the seven key states (the presidential ones). 97% are against me, it's bad publicity and they only have a license, I'd say they should withdraw theirlicense , "he said on the Air Force One plane.

Trump was on his way back from the United Kingdom, and the same week that the Jimmy Kimmelshow on  was removed from ABC for a comment by the presenter about the murder of ultra-right-wing activist Charlie Kirk .

"All they do is go against ME, "the Republican leader has criticized.

"If you look back, you see that they haven't had conservatives for years. I think someone said, 'Take a look, they just beat Trump.'"

A few hours earlier, he had declared that the end of "Jimmy Kimmel Live" was not a matter of censorship, but of a bad audience, claiming that the presenter had no talent and should have been fired "a long time ago."

Charlie Kirk was shot dead on September 10 at an outdoor event at a university in Utah. The defendant, Tyler Robinson, is a 22-year-old white man.
