>>510818616his bosses firing him to try to drum up goodwill is far from the same thing as trump taking personal action to see him fired, which was the implication of the post i was initially responding to.
trump didn't appoint a guy to the FCC who said 'fuck paramount', he didn't take any action whatsoever against them. if the suggestion you're making is that colbert was fired because his bosses wanted to kiss ass so they make money, that's their decision and has little to do with trump beyond his bosses already having stepped on his toes and wanting to look good.
