Trump absolutely ignores the 1A. He doesn’t care about free speech, let alone anyone critical of him. He sees anyone critical of him as the enemy who must be destroyed and their opinions squashed.

He isn’t presidential, let alone fulfilling his oath to protect and defend the Constitution. He’s too busy defecating on it and wiping himself with the fecal matter to know what he’s doing about this or anything else.

Wolff’s book clearly shows Trump is incompetent and is a clear and present danger to himself, the nation, and the world. That Trump thinks he can try to suppress this book shows he’s incapable of taking any criticism, or that he understands (or cares) what the law is.

Trump’s assertion is that the book is libelous? Guess what - truth is an absolute defense, and if Wolff has video/audio recordings of these interactions, then the truth is the defense and there’s absolutely nothing Trump can do to stop the book from publication.

Indeed, there’s anecdotal evidence from all corners of Trumpworld that the people surrounding Trump consider Trump to be a fucking idiot. Not just Mattis but Murdoch and others. Still others are trying to play up to Trump’s know-nothing reactionary sensibilities to stick around and cash out a little more before they’re done too.

This is what happens when you watch a party sell its soul to the lowest common denominator of the party - racists, bigots, and ignorant about how anything actually works so that the GOP leaders exploit the ignorance with bigotry, deflection, all while enriching themselves and their cronies and passing the burdens on to everyone - including their very base supporters who don’t realize they’re getting screwed.

I’ve never seen anything by Trump that suggests he believes in a free press.
