Trump demands Netflix immediately fire board member Susan Rice or 'pay the consequences'

WASHINGTON, DC: President Donald Trump has demanded that Netflix fire Susan Rice, a board member and former Obama administration official, after she suggested that businesses siding with the current administration will face consequences once Democrats eventually regain power. 

The Republican leader warned the streaming giant that they must comply or "pay the consequences," labeling the former National Security Adviser a "political hack."

Trump demands Susan Rice's ouster, says she has got 'no talent or skills'

After Rice made her comments, President Trump took to Truth Social on Saturday, February 21, to demand the immediate removal of the former National Security Adviser and US Ambassador to the UN. 

Trump stated, “Netflix should fire r****t, Trump Deranged Susan Rice, IMMEDIATELY, or pay the consequences. She’s 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.” 

Susan Rice predicts ‘accountability’ for companies that support Trump

The controversy stems from Rice's appearance on Preet Bharara’s podcast, 'Stay Tuned with Preet Bharara', where she cautioned companies that are trying to get into the administration’s good graces.

She argued that these businesses are making a mistake, saying 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.'” 

She predicted that the political tide will turn and that these companies will be "held accountable by those who come in opposition to Trump and win at the ballot box.”

Susan Rice warns corporations that Democrats will end ‘old rules’

Rice made it clear that she expects a future Democratic administration to take a much tougher approach to corporate oversight than in the past.

She added, “If these corporations think that Democrats, when they come back in power, are going to play by the old rules, and say, ‘Never mind, we will forgive you for all the people you fired and all the policies and principles you violated, all the laws you skirted,’ I think they got another thing coming.”

Rice, who also served as the director of the United States Domestic Policy Council, concluded by stating that they plan to be much more aggressive, noting, “We are not going to play by the old set of rules when these guys are playing by a different set of rules. We are going to play by the law. We are not going to violate the law like they did. But we are not going to be suckers.”
