Trump vocalizes support for Nexstar-Tegna merger

On Truth Social, U.S. President Donald Trump wrote, “We need more competition against THE ENEMY, the Fake News National TV Networks. Letting Good Deals get done like Nexstar (NXST) – Tegna (TGNA) will help knock out the Fake News because there will be more competition, and at a higher and more sophisticated level. Those that are opposed don’t fully understand how good the concept of this Deal is for them, but they will in the future. GET THAT DEAL DONE! PRESIDENT DJT.”
