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?
