The CEOs Trump Has Gone After, From Jamie Dimon to Tim Cook
Once a reality TV star, Trump has repeatedly lashed out at NBC, which aired “The Apprentice,” and sister network MSNBC, the latter of which is known for its liberal commentators. Occasionally, Comcast CEO Brian Roberts has found himself on the receiving end.
In February, Trump attacked Roberts on Truth Social as the “Lowlife Chairman of ‘Concast,'” even as he thanked MSNBC for firing political commentator Joy Reid.
Back then, Comcast was still sorting through the details of spinning off MSNBC and other networks into a new company called Versant. In August, MSNBC announced that, contrary to some reports, it would not keep NBC as part of its name. Instead, the rebranded network would be called MS NOW, an acronym for (My Source News Opinion World).
Trump took the opportunity to attack Roberts, again.
“SO MUCH FUN TO WATCH THEIR WEAK AND INEFFECTIVE OWNER, ‘CONCAST,’ HEADED BY DOPEY BRIAN ROBERTS, HOPELESSLY AND AIMLESSLY FLAILING IN THE WIND IN AN ATTEMPT TO DISASSOCIATE ITSELF FROM THE GARBAGE THAT THEY CREATED! MSNBC IS A FAILURE BY ANY NAME!!!” Trump wrote on Truth Social.
