TRUMP GOES AFTER COMCAST: President Donald Trump has laid into so many people, places and things on Twitter that his attacks on companies — so feared by corporate America at the beginning of his term — attract much less notice now. Still, it’s noteworthy when he goes after an individual company, as he did this morning when he mocked MSNBC as “MSDNC,” then attacked its corporate parent. “Comcast covers the CoronaVirus situation horribly, only looking to do harm to the incredible & successful effort being made!” he wrote. (Comcast took control of NBCUniversal in 2011.)

 

— Comcast declined to comment, but it will have plenty of help if Trump continues to attack the company: Comcast retains more than 40 Washington lobbying firms, according to disclosure filings.
