Donald Trump has threatened to shut down NBC and other American networks, saying that they peddle fake news.
"With all of the Fake News coming out of NBC and the Networks, at what point is it appropriate to challenge their License? Bad for country!" Mr Trump wrote in a tweet.
Mr Trump's tweet came in response to a story written by NBC, which said that Mr Trump had sought to increase America's nuclear arsenal tenfold after taking a look at a briefing slide that showed stead reduction of the US nuclear arsenal since the 1960s. The story cited three officials who were reportedly in the room when Mr Trump made the comments.

As far as I know, nether NBC News, Fox News, CNN nor any other New channel actually has a "broadcast license" for Over the Air transmission.
Media companies who own the stations that do the broadcasting hold the licenses...they then choose to broadcast content from various sources which may include an affiliate network such as the aforementioned NBC News, etc.
Sorry Mr. Trump, you can't yank NBC New's license any more than you can yank Rush Limbaugh's license because they don't have licenses!
Also, I would challenge your contention that "pretty much Every Democrat at one time or another". There are probably a few, but "Every" is an exaggeration at best and a lie at worst....But then again, that is what Trump does best.
Finally, Mr. Trump must have been top of his class in the course despot 101....first shutdown the media you don't like.
I am waiting for him to suspend the constitution because congress won't pass the things he wants. Finally, start a really good war to divert attention from the other crap.
