Trump is notorious for his aversion to the principles on which this country was founded, and for his pitiful ignorance and\/or purposeful rejection of them. He has been openly hostile to the First Amendment’s protection of free speech and the right to dissent. Particularly when that speech or dissent is directed at him. And he has repeatedly threatened the media when it is less than unflinchingly worshipful.<\/p>\n
SEE THIS: Trump Threatens Republicans Who Fail to Defund the \u2018Monstrosity\u2019 Public Broadcasters, PBS and NPR<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n On Saturday morning Trump once again exhibited his seething animosity toward the freedom of Americans in a post to his failing Twitter ripoff, Truth Social<\/a><\/strong>. He lashed out at the popular entertainer Rosie O’Donnell in a manner that was both infantile and unlawful. He wrote<\/a><\/strong> that…<\/p>\n “Because of the fact that Rosie O\u2019Donnell is not in the best interests of our Great Country, I am giving serious consideration to taking away her Citizenship. She is a Threat to Humanity, and should remain in the wonderful Country of Ireland, if they want her. GOD BLESS AMERICA!”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n First of all, Trump cannot revoke the citizenship of someone born in the U.S. That’s a privilege reserved only for the sort of dictators that Trump admires and seeks to emulate. Secondly, his assertion that she is “a Threat to Humanity”<\/em> is beyond merely insulting, it is patently insane.<\/p>\n What’s more, his reason for the threatened revocation is simply that he hates O’Donnell for her daring to criticize him. Earlier this year she moved her family to Ireland<\/a><\/strong> until “it is safe for all citizens to have equal rights there in America.”<\/em> She elaborated saying that…<\/p>\n “[Trump] is a disgrace to all our beautiful country stands for \u2013 he is a danger to the nation \u2013 a mentally ill untreated criminal who lied to America for a decade.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n If that opinion is sufficient to revoke someone’s citizenship, then he would have to do it to at least another 75 million Americans.<\/p>\n Ironically, at the beginning of Trump’s second occupation of the White House, he signed an executive order that was purportedly to restore free speech in America. In actuality, it was designed to censor the speech of government critics. As reported by NPR<\/a><\/strong> (a news enterprise that Trump is currently seeking to censor<\/a><\/strong>)…<\/p>\n “Among the dozens of executive actions President Trump signed on his first day in office is one aimed at ‘restoring freedom of speech and ending federal censorship.’ Legal and political experts say it raises concerns about the new administration’s willingness to punish its perceived enemies, such as civil servants and researchers who study how propaganda and conspiracy theories travel online. […]<\/p>\n “The order bars the government from ‘any conduct that would unconstitutionally abridge the free speech of any American citizen’ […] No longer will our government label the speech of our own citizens as misinformation or disinformation'”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n See that? Trump is trying to make it illegal to point out flagrant falsehoods intended to deceive the public. Which just happens to be something that Trump and his media puppets do on a daily basis. And he is disguising this censorship as a protection of free speech. In other words, you are free to speak unless you are exposing Trump’s propaganda as the the disinformation that it is.<\/p>\n Now Trump is furthering his revulsion of the rights of Americans to express themselves by threatening O’Donnell with the loss of her citizenship, simply because she had the audacity to tell the truth about him. This is worse than a mere political disagreement. It’s a symptom of his malignant narcissism and paranoia. Who’s next on his enemies list? Bruce Springsteen? Gavin Newsom? Perhaps Thomas Jefferson retroactively? Eventually it will by you!<\/p>\n UPDATE: Rosie responds…<\/p>\n Rosie\u2019s response to Trump.
