Donald Trump on Saturday lobbed an apparent threat of litigation at ABC.

Taking to his own social media site, Truth Social, the president asked, "Why doesn’t Chairman Bob Iger do something about ABC Fake News, especially since I just won $16,000,000 based on the Fake and Defamatory reporting of Liddle’ George Slopadopolus."

Trump continued, saying, "He was given warnings, but just couldn’t be restrained by 'management.'"

According to Trump, now ABC is "at it again."

"Now I see they are at it again, and I again give these SleazeBags fair warning!" Trump wrote. "The wonderful country of Qatar, after agreeing to invest more than 1.4 Trillion Dollars in the United States of America, deserves much better than Misleading (Fake!) News. Everyone, including their lawyers, has been told that ABC must not say that Qatar is giving ME a FREE Boeing 747 Airplane, because they are not."

Trump then concluded, "Instead, and as Fake News ABC fully knows and understands, this highly respected country is donating the plane to the United States Air Force/ Defense Department, AND NOT TO ME. By so doing, they are saving our country, and the American Taxpayer, hundreds of millions of dollars. ABC Fake News is one of the WORST."
