California (CNN Business) President Trump's years-long effort to punish CNN for its news coverage took a new, yet wholly unsurprising turn on Monday when he suggested a boycott of CNN's parent company AT&T. The idea, according to Trump's tweets, is that if enough people cancelled their AT&T subscriptions, "they would be forced to make big changes at CNN." As is so often the case in the Trump years, his tweets shattered norms but were not taken very seriously. AT&T executives expected that Trump would single out the company for its ownership of CNN at some point, according to a source familiar with the matter. One of the Democratic candidates for president, Amy Klobuchar, called out Trump for his conduct.
