Trump Suggests Revoking Licenses After World Cup and Media Snubs

Donald Trump faced a series of public and media setbacks on Sunday, beginning with his removal from the World Cup medal ceremony stage by FIFA President Gianni Infantino. Following the event, the Spanish national team further distanced itself from the president by cropping him out of their official victory photo.

These incidents coincide with a broader trend of restricted visibility for the president. Major news networks, including ABC, NBC, and CNN, refused to provide live broadcasts of a prime-time address Trump delivered concerning alleged election meddling. In response to these decisions, Trump suggested that broadcasting licenses should be revoked for networks that refused to air his speech.

The events follow reports of widespread public exhaustion regarding the president. A Media Insight Project poll indicates that six in 10 Americans now actively avoid news about the president.
