Hasn't he read the First Amendment? You are not supposed to like everything the press says, or what anyone says…that's why we have a First Amendment, to protect that kind of speech."

No.

Democrats and the 24/7 media freak out over anything and everything Trump says or does did that.

Why would anyone listen to someone who helped lie Americans (and allies) into war?

I call bullSchiff.

The mainstream media has repeatedly attacked Trump as the enemy of people (directly saying or hinting he's a dictator, fascist, Putin's puppet, mentally unstable). So why should he respect it? Would anyone here respect being slandered? I know I wouldn't.

There is a 1st amendment, it applies to the media as well as Trump. Trump has the right to say the media is the enemy of the people.

Powell is just being paid to say this Schiff, he knows that's what CNN and WashPo wants to hear, so they can publish it, and print it, and smear Trump with it.

The two men should not even be mentioned in the same sentence.
Trump got 4 DEFERMENTS for bring in college, JUST LIKE biden

Trump got a deferment for his bone spurs. Biden got a deferment for his asthma as a CHILD, which cleared up

Why do you whine and complain about Trump and NOT biden? Never mind, we KNOW the answer!

PS I have had bone spurs on my heals and they HURT LIKE HELL and there is no way I could go through boot camp with them.
