Trump Demands Republicans Kill Press Freedom Bill
Donald Trump’s opposition to the PRESS Act, bipartisan legislation protecting journalists and whistleblowers, demonstrates his disregard for press freedom. His public statements, including calls for retribution against critical media outlets and even suggesting harm to journalists, contradict his claims of supporting a free press. This stance is further solidified by a former advisor’s promise of retaliation against the “liberal media.” Trump’s actions and rhetoric suggest a belief that First Amendment protections only apply to those supporting his agenda.
