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.

    Not me. I feel unabashed about calling him out for the useless POS he was. He had a chance to redeem his piss poor record by pardoning snowden because a presidential pardon is absolute and does not have to win approval in a legislative branch controlled by the opposition. But he fucked that up, the simpering coward and/or master-of-the-universe wannabe. He could have gone after bush & cheney for their war crimes, but he didnt. He could have cleansed the CIA with fire over their torture program and extraordinary rendition and black sites, but he didnt. He could have turned the NSA inside out for their crimes, but he didnt. On and on. He didnt even take on wall street, when the vast majority of the country would have voted him best president ever if he had, because those fuckers desperately need to get got. But he didnt. The only positive thing i can say about barack obama was that he didnt mangle the english language like an inbred redneck retard on meth like his immediate predecessor. That's really it.
