Trump threatens Netflix with 'consequences' if it doesn't fire ex-Obama insider from board
Donald Trump on Saturday demanded that Netflix fire a former Obama insider from its board, or face "consequences."
The president took to Truth Social over the weekend to share a comment made by fringe MAGA influencer Laura Loomer, known for her close ties to Trump.
She wrote, "Board Member Susan Rice says corporations who took a 'knee to Trump' will face an 'accountability agenda' from elected Democrats if they win the midterms in 2026 and the 2028 Presidential election."
"Does Netflix stand by their Board Member threatening half of the country with weaponized government and political retribution for choosing who they wanted to vote for as President?" Loomer asked. "This is as anti-American as it gets, and Netflix is proving everyday they are an anti-American, WOKE company. Rice is basically openly saying that Democrats will go after anyone and everyone who supported President Trump, embracing weaponized lawfare against potentially millions of Americans. Making this more horrifying is the fact that if the Netflix-Warner Bros. merger is approved, positive messaging of the Democrats' upcoming witch hunts against Trump from Barack Hussein Obama and his anti-White racist wife Michelle would likely be blasted across all streaming services as the Obamas' Higher Ground Productions continues to grow within Netflix. The Netflix-Warner Bros. merger would result in a streaming monopoly, which the Obamas will have a significant stake in."
Trump shared that post, adding an additional threat to Ambassador Rice, who reportedly rejoined the in September 2023.
"Netflix should fire racist, Trump Deranged Susan Rice, IMMEDIATELY, or pay the consequences," he wrote. "She’s got no talent or skills - Purely a political hack! HER POWER IS GONE, AND WILL NEVER BE BACK. How much is she being paid, and for what??? Thank you for your attention to this matter. President DJT"
