Key Facts
Trump complained on Truth Social about Greene’s “60 Minutes” interview, in which the Republican congresswoman repeatedly lashed out against Trump when discussing her decision to resign in January.

Trump has been a longtime critic of “60 Minutes,” and previously received a settlement of $16 million from CBS owner Paramount over his criticisms of the program’s interview with former Vice President Kamala Harris.

The president likened Greene to a “rotten apple” on Truth Social and said she “went BAD” because “she was JILTED by the President of the United States,” but went on to say his “real problem” with the “60 Minutes” interview was “that the new ownership of 60 Minutes, Paramount, would allow a show like this to air.”


snip*The president changed his tune on the deal on Monday, however, writing the company’s new parent company is “NO BETTER THAN THE OLD OWNERSHIP.”

2. Off topic, but Paramount (Sky Dance) is making a . . .

. . . hostile takeover offer for WarnerDiscovery.

These are big players in action. Trump has little sway over them. The $16M Trump and his lawyers received from Paramount was pocket change to that company.

4. I agree, and its not really off topic, imo.

Back in the day, Nixon tried to protect a merger for one of his donors, and fast forward, Gerald Ford signed legislation on antitrust because of it.

That kind of Republican does not exist anymore.

5. TACO Trump will roll over for Larry Ellison

He has the bigger… yacht.
