Yea, there have been quite a few leaders throughout time that history hasn't been kind to, to say the least. Trump is definitely giving them a run for their money though.
Given the administration’s recent approaches, I’d expect the FCC to review the licenses, come to a quick conclusion, and follow-through with revoking those licenses. Then, things will get interesting when Disney files with the courts, and the Trump admin just blatantly ignores court injunctions and later rulings to reinstate the licenses—actually challenging the authority and legitimacy of an entire branch of our government (if the executive branch refuses to enforce a judicial ruling, do we really have a functional government?).
It is so weird to think that one of the guys from The Man Show will be directly involved in a constitutional crisis which may be the catalyst to the fall of our democracy.

This has got to be the weakest most pathetically thin skinned government in the history of the world.

History is a long long time. It's certainly giving a go for the present title, though.

Or, the kangaroo court will find yet another bullshit reason to carve out an exception.
