Stephen Miller, a top aide to President Trump, says the president’s authority cannot be questioned, while Trump himself declares the news media the enemy of the American people.
Sen. John McCain says that history has shown that without a free press and checks and balances on the executive branch, dictatorships result. I am concerned that our country is heading in that direction.
The pushback from the awakened and energized American people is heartening and encouraging. We must maintain this to preserve our democracy in these perilous times.

Note from KBJ: Buy a clue, Larry. Donald Trump hasn't prosecuted or censored any journalist. The press is free to say what it wants about him and he is free to say what he wants about it. Just because you don't like him fighting back doesn't mean he is a dictator. Many of us are delighted that we have a president who stands up to the oligopolistic, propagandistic media. By the way, where were you when Barack Obama was president? He was the most lawless and thuggish president we have had.
