With all of the Fake News coming out of NBC and the Networks, at what point is it appropriate to challenge their License? Bad for country!

So there you have it. Literally, Trump is suggesting that wants to revoke the licenses for TV networks just because he doesn't like what they report.
This in spite of the fact that Fox News lied by suggesting England spied Trump at the request of Barack Obama. And even Trump claimed he was just repeating what Fox News said.
By the way; this is what the NBC report says:
President Donald Trump said he wanted what amounted to a nearly tenfold increase in the U.S. nuclear arsenal during a gathering this past summer of the nation’s highest-ranking national security leaders, according to three officials who were in the room.
Trump’s comments, the officials said, came in response to a briefing slide he was shown that charted the steady reduction of U.S. nuclear weapons since the late 1960s. Trump indicated he wanted a bigger stockpile, not the bottom position on that downward-sloping curve.
According to the officials present, Trump’s advisers, among them the Joint Chiefs of Staff and Secretary of State Rex Tillerson, were surprised. Officials briefly explained the legal and practical impediments to a nuclear buildup and how the current military posture is stronger than it was at the height of the buildup. In interviews, they told NBC News that no such expansion is planned.
That was the meeting, by the way, after which, reportedly, Rex Tillerson called Trump a "fucking moron."
And of course, as usual, Trump is now denying everything:
Fake @NBCNews made up a story that I wanted a "tenfold" increase in our U.S. nuclear arsenal. Pure fiction, made up to demean. NBC = CNN!

The NBC story, however, was verified by people who were in the meeting.
So basically Trump wants to censor TV networks for telling the truth.
