Trump tells FCC to punish journalist for calling his election results "mixed"

President Trump yesterday demanded that the Federal Communications Commission punish or rebuke an NBC journalist for saying he has "mixed results" in his election endorsements.

Trump also posted a rant on Friday about New York Times journalist Maggie Haberman, calling her "an unattractive person both inside and out" who "should be forced to turn over any and all money that she’s made through her fake reporting on me." Trump referred to Haberman throughout his post as "Maggot Haberman." Read full article Comments
