Trump is out here gleefully posting about Kimmel getting pulled after Colbert was cancelled and that that leaves Seth Meyers and Jimmy Fallon, openly encouraging NBC to cancelling them as well.
Unsurprisingly none of the execs have a backbone.

Illinois State Senator Karina Villa sprang into action to protect her community from ICE raids, alerting neighbors to their rights and chasing off masked agents. This is how you stand up to authoritarianism. We should all be inspired by Sen. Villa's courage.

President Trump wants to prosecute anyone who desecrates the U.S. flag — but the Supreme Court ruled in 1989 that burning the flag is protected under the First Amendment.
Trump’s flag-burning order tests a Supreme Court ruling. Here’s how.
In the 1989 case Texas v. Johnson, flag burning as political protest was ruled to be protected First Amendment speech. Trump’s order could revisit that decision.
