[quote=Anonymous]Trump ran as a champion of free speech. So what did he do once he was in office? He immediately went to work squelching free speech.

1. Expelled AP from Press Pools: Barred Associated Press from briefings for refusing to use “Gulf of America,” seen as punishing editorial choices.
2. Threatened College Funding: Vowed to defund universities over “illegal” (e.g., pro-Palestinian) protests, chilling campus activism.
3. Targeting Lawyers: Stripped security clearances from attorneys representing political opponents, deterring legal challenges.
4. Arresting/Deporting Protestors: Targeted pro-Palestinian activists on campuses. 
5. Censoring DEI Language: Banned terms like “diversity” and “equity” from federal use, suppressing specific viewpoints.
6. Investigating Broadcasters: FCC probed CBS, ABC, and NBC for anti-Trump bias, threatening licenses to intimidate media.
7. Pressuring Universities: Canceled federal contracts for some universities over protest handling, coercing stricter speech policies.

There’s much more on this subject but this list is a start.[/quote]
