Trump Demands Netflix Fire 'Racist' Susan Rice after Ex-Obama Ambassador Slammed Companies That 'Take a Knee' to POTUS [View all]

President Donald Trump on Saturday called on Netflix to fire Susan Rice after the former National Security Adviser said it is “not going to end well” for corporations that “take a knee” for the president. Trump went off on Rice in a post on Truth Social:

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. President DJT


Rice has served on Netflix’s board of directors since 2023, following an initial stint that ran from 2018 to 2020. His post included a link to an X post from Laura Loomer that showed a video clip of Rice bashing companies that are kowtowing to Trump, in her view. Rice — who served as the NSA and as an ambassador to the U.N. during ex-President Barack Obama’s time in office — said those organizations will be “held accountable” once Democrats are back in power. Here is a key slice of her statement:

When it comes to the elites — the corporate interests, the law firms, the universities, the media… it’s not going to end well for them, for those that decided that they would act in their perceived, very-narrow self-interest — which I would underscore is very short-term self interest — and take a knee to Trump.

I think they’re starting to realize, ‘Wait a minute, this is not popular.’ Trump is not popular. What he is doing, whether on the economy and affordability or on immigration now, is not popular. And that there is likely to be a swing in the other direction, and they’re going to be caught with more than their pants down, they’re going to be held accountable by those who come in opposition to Trump and win at the ballot box.
