The four-time indicted, twice-impeached disgraced former president, Donald Trump, who admitted Tuesday that he will govern as a âdictatorâ on âday oneâ should he win office again, is overtly vowing to weaponize government and seek retribution against the news media, showing no regard for the First Amendment protections afforded to the Fourth Estate.Definitely. Let me drink beer in peace, stop trying to shove trans religious ideology in our faces. Bud light has paid the price too.
Youâd have to explain that one. Not all education, but Definitely radical liberal/leftist arts degrees.. sociology, gender studies, etc.. they make people dumber, entitled, spoiled, and angry.
Education that produces useful skilled citizens? Weâre all for it
Youâd have to explain that one too. The overall Conservative view has been right on all the COVID claims theyâve made, despite the leftist establishment trying to censor them and demagogues like Fauci politicizing his opinions (and we now know he was dead wrong on pretty much everything he said)
I think youâre thinking of democrats who cheer on censorship
The alarming rhetoric against the nationâs journalists, whom Trump has consistently and insidiously referred to as the âenemy of the people,â has also been echoed by his top allies, indicating the promises of revenge are not the rantings of a madman, but the actual intended course of action should the Republican presidential frontrunner manage to seize power again.
In a particularly disturbing conversation this week, Trumpâs former top political strategist, Steve Bannon, and former National Security Council adviser, Kash Patel, openly discussed plans to target the press. Bannon, who underscored that such promises are ânot just rhetoricâ and that they are âabsolutely dead seriousâ about seeking revenge against journalists, asked Patel, who would likely serve in a second Trump administration, whether he could âdeliver the goods.â Patel responded affirmatively, vowing that a re-empowered Trump would indeed âcome afterâ the press.
Bannon did not respond to requests for comment on Wednesday and a spokesperson for Patel claimed he was only referring to targeting journalists âwho break the law.â Regardless, Trump has himself said he will target news organizations, including most recently lashing out at Comcast over NBCU News Groupâs coverage of him, saying the company should be âinvestigated.â
âI say up front, openly, and proudly, that when I WIN the Presidency of the United States, they and others of the LameStream Media will be thoroughly scrutinized for their knowingly dishonest and corrupt coverage of people, things, and events,â Trump declared in September, adding that he believes the press âshould pay a big priceâ for supposedly hurting the country.
