His victory boosted the stock market, elicited reactions from celebrities, athletes, and politicians, and seemed to influence international tensions. A key factor behind these reactions is Trump&#8217;s clear policy proposals for the near future, indicating that his second attempt at the presidency will further challenge established norms. One major area he plans to address is America&#8217;s complex business regulations, which he believes hinder economic growth. Media companies are particularly excited about potential deregulation under Trump, as it could simplify mergers and acquisitions. Sinclair executive Chris Ripley expressed optimism about modernization in regulations and indicated their intent to engage in industry mergers or acquisitions. However, Disney CEO Bob Iger stated that Disney feels sufficiently consolidated and does not need further mergers or acquisitions at this time due to its existing assets and growing streaming library post-Fox merger. This news may be reassuring for Disney fans concerned about quality amidst critiques of the company&#8217;s extensive multimedia portfolio filled with recent poorly received content. Additionally, Disney has numerous projects lined up: nine major Star Wars initiatives and 19 announced Marvel projects according to various sources<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2369900,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Disney.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[33651],"tags":[19772,6344,4188,4115,3634],"class_list":["post-2369899","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-the-western-journal","tag-deregulation","tag-disney","tag-media","tag-response","tag-trump"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Disney.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2369899","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2369899"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2369899\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2369903,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2369899\/revisions\/2369903"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2369900"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2369899"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2369899"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2369899"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
