AT&T Deal

AT&T is trying to merge with Time Warner, although Trump is strongly opposed to this deal. Trump argues that this merger would make AT&T too powerful, calling this merger "media concentration." Yet, it appears that Trump's main issue (at least, what he has vocalized) with this deal is that CNN would become a part of this merger, and Trump is vehemently opposed to CNN. Now, the justice department is asking AT&T to divest from CNN's parent company, Turner, to mitigate anti-trust concerns, but articles like this one question Trump's true motives.
