Why is President Trump so afraid of a free press?

Because he was such a poor businessman in the first place and didnt think things through. Those dodgy deals with Crime bosses and questionable Russian banks wouldnt have been looked at so hard if he had never become President. Now this is all heading at him like a Tsunami and hes panicking and threatening anyone daring to say anything. It will all be over in a couple of years. Just as well he looks good in orange

@SevIsPamprinYouAlways I get that he associates with Criminals and maybe committed crimes. I'm no fan of his either. But frankly this stuff is not helpful from either side. Its about the quality of the job he is doing and its God Awful.

@whowasthatmaskedman how can you say a person who employs 14000 people a bad businessman.....the job he is doing is awful? He has increased employment by 100,000s and increased the economy and kept NK Russia and Syria very quiet....he says a lot of stupid things but watch him get a second term...

@Platinum No.. THE ECONOMY has increased employment. Trump is actually costing jobs downstream from his Tariff issues. But thats not the point. Trump is surfing a wave of US printed money which has to break. And when it does it will dump the US economy, particularly the regular working folks who got nothing from his tax breaks. I cant even blame Trump for the turmoil to come. It predates him and several Presidents before and stems back to American being uncompetitive.

[@so you want to blame him for things you don't like and not give him any credit for the good things that are happening...I've asked lots of American friends and they are better off under trump....

@Platinum The economy is riding a wave for now. But that has nothing to do with Trump. In fact he is harming it. But than will hit later. Two things I dont like that are relevant. First. he takes credit for everything and blame for nothing. Second and more important, he is telling people its going to keep happening and it isnt.

Who are you supposed to say is responsible when he has been in power for two years, it seems you want to say it has nothing to do with trump that things are going well, but you are going to blame him when you say he is harming the economy and you are going to blame him for something that has not happened yet....that is totally wrong....who are you saying is responsible for how well the country is doing? @whowasthatmaskedman

@Platinum The fact that the nation has been printing money and running a massive and escalating deficit. (out to about $US65K for every man , woman and child in the country) Has allowed the nation to have a high employment, relatively high growth economy. This is the same as if you got yourselves a couple of new credit cards and spend up big, maxxing them out, then got more cards. But sooner or later , the debt collectors are going to start calling. Trumo did NOT rack up the $21 TRILLION US debt to the rest of the world. But he has added over a Trillion to it since he arrived and actually built very little of substance with it, and it is accelerating.
