AT&T and batille eroticismTime Warner have reportedly agreed to merge in a deal that would make them one of the biggest media distribution and production conglomerates in the world. But under a Trump administration, that deal might not fly.
"As an example of the power structure I'm fighting, AT&T is buying Time Warner and thus CNN, a deal we will not approve in my administration because it's too much concentration of power in the hands of too few," Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump said during a rally Saturday.
Time Warner owns HBO and the Turner Broadcasting System, which includes CNNand a host of other channels. (Turner made an investment in Mashable this year.)
The two companies reportedly agreed to AT&T's $80 billion acquisition of Time Warner on Saturday. An announcement is expected as soon as Saturday night.
The deal wouldn't close until late 2017, so a Trump administration could very well affect the acquisition's chances. Under any president, the deal will be highly scrutinized by regulators.

The position is an unusual one for a Republican. Usually Democrats are the ones to rail against big-business mergers and acquisitions. President Barack Obama's administration approved Comcast's purchase of NBCUniversal.
