During Trump’s victory lap on Friday during the same rally in which he celebrated the endorsement from failed candidate Chris Christie, Trump said the most dangerous thing to come from his lips yet: If I am president, the freedom of the press will be no more.
To a room full of cheers, Trump proclaimed that he would loosen up libel laws so that when a news organization like the New York Times is critical of the candidate, he would be able to win a suit against them for “lots of money.”
The fact that people supported and cheered for this clear constitutional violation is terrifying. This is getting real, and all of those times we referred to Trump as a fascist are sounding particularly relevant now.
