https://deadline.com/2026/02/trump-netflix-susan-rice-warner-bros-1236731945/Donald Trump called on Netflix to fire one of its board members, Susan Rice, the former U.S. ambassador to the United Nations and national security adviser, following comments she made about accountability when Democrats return to power.
Trump posted on Truth Social on Saturday, Netflix should fire racist, Trump Deranged Susan Rice, IMMEDIATELY, or pay the consequences. Shes got no talent or skills Purely a political hack! HER POWER IS GONE, AND WILL NEVER BE BACK. How much is she being paid, and for what??? Thank you for your attention to this matter. President DJT
This week, Rice appeared on Preet Bhararas podcast and said that, for corporate interests, law firms and media, it is not going to end well for them. For those that decided that they would act in their perceived very narrow self interest, which I would underscore as very short-term self-interest, and take a knee to Trump, I think they are now starting to realize, wait a minute, this is not popular. Trump is not popular.

(9,029 posts)elaborate regarding consequences please. Possibly something he could be charged with committing a crime. His DOJ lawyer will never charge him but maybe a civil court can.

(76,871 posts)You dont get to tell a private business who they can or cant fire and Susan Rice has her Constitutionally
protected right of free speech too.
Btw Ms. Rice is a billion times smarter than you. Bachelors Degree Stanford, a Masters & PhD from
Oxford, and a Rhodes Scholar and you were 3rd from the bottom of your class @ the University of Penn.
She also had all kinds of high level jobs and lettered in 3 different sports High School too.

Admittedly, it's cheaply bought, but still.

(76,871 posts)He sits and watches T.V. or some right wing web site all day and then gets upset about what somebody says about him. He is a very insecure person.
Maybe Netflix documentary on G. Maxwell bothered him.

Fuck that noise.

(7,608 posts)no one has really tried hard to dissuade him from the fact he's NOT a king. He keeps on acting like it, and no one's stopping him. Just yelling at him, or slapping him on the hands with Oh, no you can't judgements mean nothing when he can simply say, "I'm doing "X" and you can't stop me"... and no one does. Of course, when the US is populated only by the richest of the rich who've given all their money to trump, and the rest of us are gone to better times "in the sky", it'll be interesting to see who pays his tariffs then.

(12,013 posts)Netflix is right in the middle of trying to get WB and HBO, she has likely already been removed from the board and Ted Sarandos and Greg Peters are likely on their way to DC with their kneepads already on.
Honestly it was a silly mistake for her to say anything publicly like that to jeopardize a critical merger like that especially knowing that Netflix is, at the end of the day, a corporation and they have no morals or values or loyalty.

(1,870 posts)squarely on Roberts and the other 5 who really allowed this for totally political reasons.
They need to be called out on it and reminded constantly that THEY could have prevented this.
Thousands, tens of thousands of signs, ads, emails, regular mail and protests telling those 6 what THEY have created with questionable reinterpretation of the Constitution need to be constantly sent, displayed and talked about..
It's time to place blame. He should never have been allowed, as a CONVICTED FELON, to run for president.Nothing they can ever say will justify their decision.
They and any who aided or advised their decision must be remembered for and added to history books as traitors worse than Arnold.
It's also well past time for the MSM to share responsibility for their INACTION.
