President Donald Trump has called on streaming giant Netflix to immediately terminate board member Susan Rice, threatening unspecified consequences if the company fails to comply. Trump's Sunday post on his Truth Social platform targeted the former Obama administration official following her remarks on the "Stay Tuned with Preet" podcast hosted by former US Attorney Preet Bharara. Rice's Controversial Comments During Thursday's podcast appearance, Rice warned that corporations that have bowed to Republican pressure should anticipate accountability should Democrats return to power. "This is not going to be an instance of forgive and forget," Rice stated. "The damage that these people are doing is too severe to the American people and our national interest." The comments appeared to reference corporate decisions during Trump's presidency that aligned with administration priorities or avoided confrontation with Republican officials. Trump's Response On Truth Social, Trump wrote: "Netflix should fire racist, Trump Deranged Susan Rice, IMMEDIATELY, or pay the consequences. She's got no talent or skills - Purely a political hack! HER POWER IS GONE, AND WILL NEVER BE BACK. How much is she being paid, and for what??? Thank you for your attention to this matter."
