PHILADELPHIA — President Donald Trump singled out Philadelphia's own Comcast Corporation and its leader in a social media post recently.

Trump posted a screed online Sunday, referring to the telecommunications company as "Concast" and its CEO and chairman a "lowlife."

"Lowlife Chairman of 'Concast,' Brian Roberts, the owner of Ratings Challenged NBC and MSDNC, has finally gotten the nerve up to fire one of the least talented people in television, the mentally obnoxious racist, Joy Reid," the president posted on Truth Social, a Twitter-like social media platform owned and founded by Trump Media & Technology Group.

Reid's show, "The ReidOut," was canceled by MSNBC Sunday. Its final episode is expected to air this week.

He went on to insinuate Rev. Al Sharpton is doing something to Roberts to remain on MSNBC.

"This whole corrupt operation is nothing more than an illegal arm of the Democrat Party," the president continued in his long-winded post. "They should be forced to pay vast sums of money for the damage they’ve done to our Country. Fake News is an UNPARDONABLE SIN!"
