Trump Wants Government To Take Down Media Outlets He Doesn't Like

Apparently Donald Trump woke up in a foul mood on Wednesday, and he immediately got on Truth Social to complain about everything imaginable. One of his posts, however, was a direct attack on the Constitutionally-protected Freedom of the Press. Trump said that the government should do something about networks like MSNBC using public airwaves to attack him everyday, a good indicator that this could be something Trump would look into if he wins reelection. Ring of Fire's Farron Cousins discusses this.

In addition to his other proposals to, you know, dismantle the United States Constitution by doing away with birthright citizenship. Donald Trump on Wednesday also proposed another unconstitutional idea, which is to have the federal government crack down on media outlets that are unfair, he says to him, so that's the criteria, by the way, for violating the United States Constitution. If it's to punish someone who is not nice to Donald Trump, it's apparently okay to go against the United States Constitution. Here is what Trump said in an early morning post on Wednesday on truth social M-S-N-B-C-M-S-D and C uses free government approved airwaves, and yet it is nothing but a 24 hour hit job on Donald J. Trump and the Republican Party for purposes of election interference. Brian Roberts, it's chairman, and CEO is a slime ball who has been able to get away with these constant attacks for years. It is the world's biggest political contribution to the radical left Democrats, who by the way, are destroying our country. Our so-called government should come down hard on them and make them pay for their illegal political activity much more to come watch.

Are you, are you describing Fox News or are you talking about M-S-N-B-C? Because if you just flipped the words left with, right, and Democrat with Republican, that's literally Fox News. Um, here's the thing. They have a, a constitutional right to do what they do, much like Fox News does. We may not like it. We may disagree with what they say, they may lie to our faces every single evening. But those lies their ability to say the things they want to say. As long as it doesn't go into slander, liable, and def uh, defamation is a hundred percent legal. They have every right to do it. What you do not have is a right to use the government to shut them down. That is the part that is illegal. This is a taste. This is a taste of what this man will do, not what this man wants to do.

What he will do if he ever gets back into power. Because keep in mind, project 2025, right? They're out there interviewing, literally interviewing right now thousands of people. They wanna hire 55,000 Trump loyalists to take over every government department in this country. Fire career civil servants, replace them with pro-Trump morons who don't know how to do the jobs. So that way when Donald Trump, if he gets to be president again, goes back in and says, Hey, let's pull M-S-N-B-C off the air because they did a negative story about me. He's not gonna be met by people who are gonna say, whoa, sir, that's

Unconstitutional. That's illegal. We can't do that. No. He'll be met with people who say, what time do you want us to pull 'em off the air now? Or You want us to wait an hour? Whatever you want, sir, we're gonna do it. So when he makes these threats, when he says these things, this is not just a random, stupid statement by a very stupid man anymore. These are statements from a dangerous, unhinged and still very stupid person who may within about a year have the power and the lack of pushback to do these horrible things that he says he wants to do. And we have to take them all very seriously 'cause there's a chance that could happen.
