Politics donald trump New York Times treason
Donald Trump ramped up the threats to a reporter whose question he didn’t like and it’s not just about the journalist, it’s American democracy at stake

President Trump unloading on @SangerNYT reflects a combination of anxiety, insecurity and desperation about the Iran war. David is the dean of national security reporters: experienced, meticulous and fair. Blaming the messenger underscores that the reality itself is pretty bad. https://t.co/NkDOBABZjW

Just asked the WH if the president has any idea what treason is.
Will update if they respond. https://t.co/tGya98uxyD

When a president responds to serious questions about war by calling a reporter “fake” and “treasonous,” that’s not strength. It’s insecurity.
Real leaders explain their strategy to the people paying the price. He had none.

We can debate how well our liberal institutions have checked Trump but there really is no doubt that his political personality is incurably authoritarian https://t.co/eqY9ogFd8c

No American should be comfortable with the President of the United States accusing a reporter of treason for critical reporting. https://t.co/VWaPf4HvJC

His supporters hear this “treason” stuff and take it literally while he talks about toning down the rhetoric. https://t.co/BZxzyVaJKK

So toxic. All the time. It has to be unbearable for any journalist, male or female. He truly is such an hideous, horrible person.
