Netflix should

This is all very completely normal.

Yes certainly, we always have presidents who tell media companies which people to fire because said people annoy him. That’s definitely part of his job and not in any way a violation of norms and laws and boundaries.

The Financial Times gives us some background:

Trump has called on Netflix to sack former Democratic national security official Susan Rice from its board or “pay the consequences”, as the streamer battles to buy Warner Bros Discovery.

The US president weighed in on the issue at the urging of Maga influencer Laura Loomer. “Netflix should fire racist, Trump Deranged Susan Rice, IMMEDIATELY, or pay the consequences. She’s got no talent or skills — Purely a political hack!” Trump wrote on his Truth Social platform on Saturday, reposting an X post by Loomer urging him to “kill the Netflix-Warner Bros. merger now”.

Rice was national security adviser and US ambassador to the UN under former president Barack Obama. She was also on former president Joe Biden’s domestic policy council. She served on Netflix’s board from 2018 to 2020 and was reappointed in 2023.

Therefore it’s completely normal and reasonable for Trump to shout at her on social media, right?
