Trump Urges FCC to Look Into NBC, Claims Comcast Afraid To Cancel Al Sharpton's Show: Wouldn't Be 'Politically Correct'

President Donald Trump on Sunday mocked Al Sharpton by posting an old picture of him when he was fat, before saying the Federal Communications Commission should “look into” NBC’s license because Sharpton and other pundits do little more than celebrate Democrats and bash Republicans.

The president was mistaken, though — Sharpton’s show, PoliticsNation, is on MSNBC, not NBC. And MSNBC is currently being spun off by Comcast, NBCUniversal’s parent company, into a separate company.

He also blasted Comcast CEO and Chairman Brian Roberts for being too afraid to pull Sharpton off the air because it wouldn’t be “Politically Correct.”

His comment came in a Truth Social post where he included a picture of a rotund Sharpton from 1988, decked out in a red shirt, slacks, suspenders, and a giant gold chain.

Even after those weight reduction shots you were taking (which made you SHIT your diaper(s)) your still FUCKING FAT Trump!

Maybe instead of mocking Sharpton you should be asking him HOW he lost all that weight.

Trump is an idiot.

Sharpton is on MSNBC.

MSNBC does not own a FCC license.

Trump does not like it when people do not give him 100% fealty.
