The Netflix-Warner Brothers grift is in. Show me the money.

Is this politics as usual?

Reuters reports:
U.S. President Donald Trump said on Sunday that he would have a say whether a proposed merger between Netflix and Warner Brothers should go forward, telling reporters the market share of a combined entity could raise concerns.

"I'll be involved in that decision," Trump told reporters as he arrived at the Kennedy Center for its annual awards show.
Will it be the ballroom, the presidential library, upgrades to the Qatari jet, or the family crypto endeavors? Stay tuned.

    @WABAC, please show some respect.

    Donnie boy is clearly entitled to a cut on all such transactions. This includes college endowments. And crypto wallets. Heck, the kickbacks never stop.

    Yep, Qatar is short one $400M jet.

    It's the pay to play administration. And there will be no justice during this dark time.

    Where are those Epstein files at?

    As was reported today, there is now a hostile takeover bid by Paramount for the WBD assets.

    The SEC filing said other outside financing partners include funds from Saudis, Qataris, Emirates as well as Jared Kushner's Affinity Partners.

    This game is rigged. Now you can expect the FCC to get involved and try to deny the Netflix deal in favor of Ellison and its Trump supported partners. Folks don't give you jets and not expect favors in return.

    No doubt Trump will collect an ongoing fee as well.

    Nvidia can now sell chips (H200) to China that are/were "National Security Threats". Clearly we do not want our mortal enemies to have them.

    But wait, if the government gets its beak wet (say 25%) then poof, national security threat abated!

    But wait again, by playing politics with such items, China is strongly incentivized to create their own and compete with us. Possibly to Nvidia's detriment. Tight policy, for sure.

    I just sold my 300 shares of WBD at $28. Too many ways that this goes to shite IMO.
