Why didn't trump challenge this merger

And it was all Trump's idea right? Since he says he know everything right? GTFO!

😂 This isn't about building a rival to Netflix. Monopoly

What happened to antitrust laws? When a corporation gets big enough that they own everything and there's no competition, consumers are going to have problems. So much for standing 'with' liberals' values, Disney!

Trump has power now

Now thats a mashup I can get behind, Ja Ja Binks could replace Apu as the token ethnic stereotype.

Universal Studios has a Simpson's land. I assume Disney will not have Simpson's there too?

Just leaving this here ...

Take Fox News and make Hannity play Mickey Mouse at Disney World!

Disney will soon own the universe and we will all be wearing mouse ears.

Bart Simpson with a light saber?

Anyone heard of antitrust rules?

Cartoons are more accurate than Fox News
