This is the moment that Donald Trump threatens an ABC reporter after they asked about free speech. Speaking with ABC News Chief Washington Correspondent Jonathan Karl on Tuesday (16 September), the president appeared to become annoyed after the reporter asked him about Pam Bondi’s crackdown on “hate speech”. “A lot of your allies say hate speech is free speech,” Mr Karl said, to which Mr Trump responded: “She’d probably go after people like you because you treat me so unfairly. It’s hate. You have a lot of hate in your heart.” After slamming ABC, the president claimed that he “wants everything to be fair” and placed blame with the “radical left who have done tremendous damage to the country”.

If you give him even the slightest pushback, he freaks out. The thing is, we need to keep pushing and pushing without letting him yell “Fake News!” or call a reporter “nasty.” Keep pushing and he’ll melt down.
I love that they had to publish an explainer article for everyone in Australia under the headline:

As a German, I had to laugh at “NPD” as this is the name of the predecessor of the current Nazi party AfD, and this is just such a perfect fit.
Technically the NPD is the predecessor of the new outspoken nazi-party “Die Heimat” and not the AfD but the sentiment holds true
Uh oh
Maybe by like, I dunno, blowing up random Venezuelan boats?
Yeah… Uhh… Considering that, I think he might already be having a breakdown.
Americans don’t know how to fight back. They’ll roll over and take it. Just watch.
This chieftain* created secret police out of whole cloth without constitutional justification. That does sort of give opponents pause when trying to figure out how to effectively fight back.
*A friend of mine coined this derogatory use of the word years ago, in reference to the easiest difficulty of Civilization games being Chieftain.
