In a moment sparking
outrage among press freedom advocates,
Donald Trump publicly
warned that “changes are coming” — not for Iran,
not for the economy
, but for the media.
Furious over negative
coverage of a failed Iran strike,
Trump accused the press of
being “out of control” and hinted at retaliation.
Groups like CPJ called the
comment a direct threat to the First Amendment,
warning that this crosses a dangerous line.
Critics say it’s no longer rhetoric — Trump said it on camera, with intent.
The big question now:
How will a free press defend itself when power turns hostile?
