The war on the United States Constitution is now on full display. President Donald Trump is the leader of the war. Being no fool, Trump is chipping away rather than a full declaration that the Constitution is obsolete. Why doing his plan this way he appears to believe he can accomplish his goal without an uprising of most people. He is succeeding!
Trump’s attack on the free press began as he was running for his second term. The Washington Post and Los Angeles Times owners nixed their editorial boards endorsements of Kamala Harris. The Times went even further than the Post when it canceled its editorial board. Why did they block the endorsements? They feared the attacks that Trump would bring to their businesses if he was elected that they were anticipating.
Now that Trump has been elected that same fear is being felt among the communication corporations. ABC, NBC, CBS are Trump’s targets and they too have decided that it is better to accede to Trump’s demands.
From todays news:
- President Donald Trump suggested that the federal government might revoke the licenses of broadcast television networks that are “against” him.
- Trump’s comment came a day after ABC suspended airing the “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” show because of comments its host made linking the alleged killer of Charlie Kirk to Trump’s MAGA movement.
- Trump said it would be up to FCC Chairman Brendan Carr to decide whether to cancel networks’ licenses.
First Amendment

So what is next? Laws about religion?
Trump is succeeding.
