Trump: Our Press Has ‘Too Much Protection’

[Lakhota]

Trump explains why the First Amendment has ‘too much protection’ for free speech

“Our press is allowed to say whatever they want.”

If Donald Trump is president, he’d like to make some changes to the First Amendment.

In an interview with WFOR, CBS’ Miami affiliate, Trump was asked if he believes the First Amendment provides “too much protection.”

Trump answered in the affirmative, saying he’d like to change the laws to make it easier to sue media companies. Trump lamented that, under current law, “our press is allowed to say whatever they want.”

He recommended moving to a system like in England where someone who sues a media company has “a good chance of winning.”

Trump has recently threatened to sue the New York Times and the numerous women who say he has sexually assaulted them.

Trump is right that he would have a better chance of prevailing under English law where an allegedly defamatory statement is presumed to be false. There, it is up to the defendant in a libel suit to prove that their statements are true.

But even if U.S. law were more like England’s, Trump might still have difficulty in prevailing against his accusers or the New York Times.

America needs a Fuhrer right now in this day and age. Things have gotten out of hand. Illegal immigration has gotten out of control. Jews have taken over Wall Street and our Media. America is in peril. We need to return to nationalism to protect our borders, language and culture. It's the only way to make America great again. Yes Trump will make an excellent 21st century Fuhrer.

Thank you Trump voter for your support of your American Fuhrer.

trump and his fellow klansmen only care about 2 parts of the constitution there right to use hate speech and their right to own a gun, everything else they would rather burn

 

[toxicmedia]

Trump just doesn't understand that 99% of Americans don't have endless legal resources to bring to bear on anything that tweaks us.

Here is why the press needs to be clamped down on.

THE WIKILEAKS LIST: At Least 65 MSM Reporters Were Meeting with and/or Coordinating Offline with Top Hillary Advisors

 

[beagle9]

Britt Hume still talking on Fox news about these women accusers at this point in the game ??????? Kidding me right !!!! Why all the distraction from Fox news now ??? How about everyone getting back on the topic where as one of these two candidates might possibly become the next President. Good grief. I guess he's got to cover it all though.

Excuse me Dingleberry

Mr. Trump will NOT be able to do anything to the 1A.

I fully understand his frustration.

The motherfuckers misuse their power to report the news and now they can misconstrue a candidate's position in order to get their favorite candidate elected.

That is fucked up.

But in a free society the ONLY way to penalize the sons of bitches is boycott.

Refuse to subscribe to their services until they die of a slow financial death.

. I believe in boycotts big time. The corporate croney's like Glen Beck and such says they are against boycotts as I remember (protectionism), but it's the only way to change the power structures when they go rogue.

For a party and people who claim only they love our constitution and follow it, they sure do violate it and want to make a lot of changes to it.

His statements show again that he hates freedom.

It also shows he has no idea how our government and nation works.

He can't just take freedom of speech and the press from Americans with his signature. The only way to do it is to pass a new amendment to the constitution that repeals freedom of speech and the press.

Full disclosure, I'm a member of that press he and conservatives hate so much.
