Trump accuses MSNBC and Comcast of political bias over criticism of his trade policies.

In May 2025, President Trump criticized MSNBC host Stephanie Ruhle on his social media platform, Truth Social, over comments about his trade policies. Ruhle suggested Trump might back down from tariffs due to economic concerns, which Trump dismissed as "lies." He accused MSNBC of being a "major campaign violation" and an arm of the Democratic National Committee. Trump also criticized the network's parent company, Comcast, and its CEO, Brian Roberts. The controversy stems from Trump's recent agreement to cut tariffs on UK goods as part of a trade deal.
