Donald John Trump (born June 14, 1946) is the 45th and current president of the United States. Before entering politics, he was a businessman and television personality. Trump was born and raised in the New York City borough of Queens, and received a bachelor's degree in economics from the Wharton School. He took charge of his family's real-estate business in 1971, renamed it The Trump Organization, and expanded its operations from Queens and Brooklyn into Manhattan.
The company built or renovated skyscrapers, hotels, casinos, and golf courses. Trump later started various side ventures, mostly by licensing his name. He owned the Miss Universe and Miss USA beauty pageants from 1996 to 2015, and produced and hosted The Apprentice, a reality television show, from 2003 to 2015. Forbes estimates his net worth to be $3.1 billion.
Donald Trump‘s call last week for CBS to lose its license for the way that it edited a Kamala Harris interview — he says it was “election interference” — drew a rebuke from the chair of the FCC, the agency that oversees broadcasting. “The FCC does not and will not revoke licenses for broadcast stations simply because a political candidate disagrees with or dislikes content or coverage,” said chairwoman Jessica Rosenworcel.
This wasn’t Trump’s first time calling for a broadcaster to lose its license, and it’s also not the first time that he’s misconstrued just what the FCC can and cannot do, particularly as an election approaches.
Trump’s repeated attacks on CBS are part of a continuous longtime effort to undermine mainstream media, but he also is not alone in thinking that the FCC has an authority it really does not. Licensing. Networks are not licensed, but their broadcast stations are.
And when it comes to news content, the FCC has made clear that its enforcement in that is very “narrow in scope” due to the First Amendment.
