Arguably, the list alone, plus the customized police vehicle and police outfit, would be enough premeditation.

I think he’ll try bigger and simply try to nationalize or end licensing for the big 4.

You’re missing the point. The admin has full control over spectrum licensing. This means Trump could easily have the FCC just revoke all other spectrum licenses for cellphone comms, and just forcibly seize those towers. Don’t look at it like it’s going to operate like a corporation, because I promise you it won’t.

See, here’s the thing when you’re the President. You can just have your FCC chair shut them down. You can actively quash literally any boundaries to being a monopoly, and nobody can do anything about it (from a legal or regulatory standpoint).

Yup. It’s just engineers telling it to concoct a scenario in which it would avoid being shut down at cost of human life.
