Somebody will say, oh, freedom of speech, freedom of speech.
These are foolish people.
We'll get to a few video clips in a moment, but I want to show you a couple of headlines
that show how Donald Trump feels about the First Amendment.
He is against freedom of speech and freedom of the press.
Donald Trump threatens to weaken First Amendment protections for reporters.
Donald Trump is threatening to weaken First Amendment protections for reporters, if elected
president, which he has been, and make it easier for him to sue them.
He says, I love free press.
I think it's great.
But he adds, we ought to open up libel laws, and I'm going to do that.
He wants to be able, if the press says something that he does not like, he wants to be able
to sue them and get a financial gain out of attacking the First Amendment.
On freedom of the press, Donald Trump wants to make America like England again.
Donald Trump's presidential campaign is all about American greatness, unless the subject
is freedom of the press, in which case he thinks England is much more tremendous than
the United States.
Now, I want you to take a look at a few of these video clips to really get an idea of
what Donald Trump thinks about the First Amendment, freedom of speech and freedom of the press.
It's closing that Internet up in some way.
Somebody will say, oh, freedom of speech, freedom of speech.
These are foolish people.
We have a lot of foolish people.
We've got to maybe do something with the Internet.
And believe me, if I become president, oh, do they have problems.
They're going to have such problems.
And one of the things I'm going to do, and this is only going to make it tougher for
me and I've never said this before, but one of the things I'm going to do if I win, and
I hope I do, and we're certainly leading, is I'm going to open up our libel laws.
So when they write purposely negative and horrible and false articles, we can sue them
and win lots of money.
We're going to open up those libel laws so that when The New York Times writes a hit
piece, which is a total disgrace, or when The Washington Post, which is there for other
reasons, writes a hit piece, we can sue them and win money instead of having no chance
of winning because they're totally protected.
You see, with me, they're not protected because I'm not like other people, but I'm not taking
money.
I'm not taking their money.
So we're going to open up those libel laws, folks, and we're going to have people sue
you like you never got sued before.
In the past, you've talked about wanting to amend laws and rework things to make it easier
to sue.
Do you think that there's too much protection allowed in the First Amendment?
Well, in England, they have a system where you can actually sue if somebody says something
wrong.
Our press is allowed to say whatever they want, and they can get away with it.
And I think we should go to a system where if they do something wrong, I'm a big believer,
tremendous believer in freedom of the press.
Nobody believes it's stronger than me.
But if they make terrible, terrible mistakes, and those mistakes are made on purpose to
injure people, and I'm not just talking about me, I'm talking about anybody else, then yes,
I think they should be, you should have the ability to sue them.
So you'd like to see the laws closer to what they have in England?
In England, you have a good chance of winning if they, and deals are made and apologies
are made.
Over here, they don't have to apologize.
They can say anything they want about you or me, and there doesn't have to be any apology.
England has a system where if they're wrong, things happen.
So that's the words out of his own mouth.
Donald Trump is against freedom of speech.
He's against freedom of the press.
