Freedom of the press in the United States is legally protected by the First Amendment to the United States Constitution. This amendment is generally understood to prevent the government from interfering with the distribution of information and opinions.
The news is out: President Trump on Wednesday cut off a reporter who attempted to ask whether describing himself as a “nationalist” on the campaign trail had emboldened white nationalists. “I don’t know why you’d say that,” the president said in response to the question from PBS NewsHour’s Yamiche Alcindor in the East Room of the White House. “That’s a racist question.” Trump added: “To say what you just said is so insulting to me. That’s a terrible thing you said. That’s such a racist question.
Trump calls himself a “nationalist”, he is “white” yet he hollered like a hit dog when he heard ‘white nationalist’. I didn’t know he could dig out that level of crap, even with preparation H.
