Trump’s urges a boycott of AT&T

I thought Republicans were big on free enterprise. They have been quiet as Trump suggests a boycott of AT&T because he doesn’t like the coverage he gets on their subsidiary CNN. This is how dictators act.

This is America. We don't have presidents who punish companies that don't flatter him. Nothing great again about taking America down the path of the despot. We have never had a President call for Americans to boycott a company he doesn't like. pic.twitter.com/U09NzyUzd5

This explains why the Trump Justice Department tried to block the AT&T-Time Warner merger, a very unusual move for a “vertical” merger.

Government retaliation against a media organization based on its viewpoint violates the First Amendment.

"A president calling for an economic boycott of one of the largest telecommunications companies because he doesn't like their news network … is completely norm-shattering," says @Hadas_Gold, as President Trump suggests a boycott of AT&T for carrying CNN. https://t.co/JSCy2AGhhF pic.twitter.com/iNcP2W94dW
