Trump has no right to assault the press corp. It is the right of the people to have the truth! This is an assault on freedom, the press, the truth, and the American people. It is an emergency and cannot be tolerated.
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
The country needs to know what is going on with it's military, not a mentally deranged president.
This is an emergency for the country. The media outlets need to take it to the Supreme Court in an emergency measure to return normal functioning of the country.
The First Amendment: Ratified in 1791, the First Amendment explicitly states that Congress shall make no law abridging the freedom of the press.
Prior Restraint: The Supreme Court heavily restricts "prior restraint," which is when the government tries to censor or stop information from being published beforehand. Landmark rulings like New York Times Co. v. United States (1971) established a heavy legal presumption against government censorship
Power hungry and corrupt is not the interest of the American people. We are a peaceful people with incredible power in the world to render other people healthy and at peace when our national character is actually demonstrated by the President of the United States. Trump has hijacked the power of the people of this country and has caused enormous pain in the world. This is still anothere is a coward and scared man who will do anything to possess the power of this country. ENOUGH!
The United Nations General Assembly is being conducted. It would be good if the people of the USA listened to the pain Trump has caused the entire world.
The sun set on Washington, D.C. (click here) The year was 1971. Not daring to turn lights on, the researcher stood cloaked in darkness, listening to the rhythmic hum of the photocopier. He fed pages and pages of classified documents into the machine as the night wore on.
Daniel Ellsberg copied more than 7000 pages of documents that revealed the history of the government’s actions in the Vietnam War. They exposed government knowledge that the war would cost more lives than the public was being told, and that the war was being escalated even as the President had said it was close to ending. They would become known as the “Pentagon Papers.”
Ellsberg believed that Americans needed to know what was in the reports, and decided to make the Pentagon Papers public. To achieve his goal, he broke several laws. He gave copies to the New York Times, which began printing excerpts from the documents on June 13, 1971. The government immediately obtained a court order preventing the Times from printing more of the documents, arguing that publishing the material threatened national security. This was the first time in American history that the government had successfully ordered a prior restraint (an order that news be censored ahead of publication) on national security grounds. Historically, prior restraint has been considered the most serious form of censorship....

IT would be best if all the media stood together and brought about awareness of the unconstitutional behavior of the president. The legislature is tolerating this and it is just as unconstitutional as the acts of a deranged president.
