Trump knocks 1st Amendment of U.S. Constitution in a fit of anger, "It is frankly disgusting"

“It is frankly disgusting the press is able to write whatever it wants to write,” Trump said

So, what Trump has sworn to uphold, is...."disgusting"
Freedom of the Press is..........................."disgusting"

First Amendment of the Constitution:

"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."


well if have one more thought ............

Very little is more disgusting than Mr. Trump, who is currently the President of the United States. And to imply that "Freedom of the Press" is .."...frankly disgusting." ..is one of the most disgusting things he has ever said. He really hasn't got a clue how inappropriate that statement is. He has sworn to uphold the U.S. Constitution. If he does not like this, he can quit.

This one statement defines him, as much as anything. Hundreds of thousands have died to protect that freedom. Freedom of the Press is at the core of this country's beliefs. Freedom of Speech is at the core of this country's beliefs. He just is too stupid to realize how wrong he is on this. He needs to apologize to the people of the United States for saying that.
