President Donald Trump intensified his criticism of Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene and renewed his attacks on major media organizations, posting a series of remarks on Truth Social as Washington continues to watch developments across politics, media, and business.
In his latest statements, Trump mocked Greene — using several derogatory descriptions — and claimed she had shifted away from his agenda. He also criticized her recent interview on 60 Minutes, calling her performance confused and poorly prepared. Trump repeated longstanding grievances against correspondent Lesley Stahl and demanded a public apology for what he described as “incorrect and libelous statements” regarding Hunter Biden’s laptop.

The president’s remarks come as Paramount and Netflix pursue competing plans involving Warner Bros. Speaking at the Kennedy Center Honors on Sunday, Trump said a potential Netflix takeover “could be a problem” due to the company’s market share, though he praised Netflix co-CEO Ted Sarandos, whom he recently met. The Netflix bid does not include CNN, a frequent Trump target, while the Paramount proposal does.
Trump has also spoken positively of Paramount CEO David Ellison, whose father is a long-time ally. The previous Paramount leadership paid $16 million to settle a Trump lawsuit involving a 60 Minutes interview with then-Senator Kamala Harris.
Meanwhile, Greene has become one of Trump’s most vocal conservative critics. She recently pushed for the release of Jeffrey Epstein’s files and criticized the Republican response to rising Affordable Care Act premiums. Greene has announced she will leave Congress next year, citing expectations of a Trump-backed primary challenge.
Paramount and CBS did not respond to requests for comment.
