Book Ban: Trump Floats Law to Target Books Critical of Him

“If all others accepted the lie which the Party imposed—if all records told the same tale—then the lie passed into history and became truth.” – George Orwell, 1984

Waiting for him to pass a law that all residents and businesses must display a complimentary portrait of "Dear Leader" on their premises.

Not even pretending to hide it anymore…I saw that a comedian got arrested the other day for making jokes about DT.

But he’s referring to the President credited with the best first month in history, so maybe he means John Adams?

If history is a precedent, and his followers start banning (and burning) books, it's about to get a whole lot worse, folks.

This is kind of crazy. This is an old man who will die soon. After he dies, everything will be coming out. If you thought it was bad after (and during) his first administration... just imagine the freedom people will have after he croaks. What stupid MFer. Honestly, he can't focus on actual important things like housing costs, homelessness, inflation, the cost of eggs...

Perhaps there will be some executive order after his death prohibiting the release of urine on his grave and elevating it to some felony prosecution? I feel if the Trump family was to be true to their roots... they would install a urinal and charge each individual looking to empty their bladder there a premium... (those that want to do #2 will have to reeaalllllly pony up). Talk about bringing in billionaire level of income...

Political truth is always subjective but leaders of democracies welcomes opposition and criticism. Leaders of totalitarian governments suppress opposition and criticism.

In which do you want to live?

His ego is so fragile, he is all for free speech as long it is something he likes just like Musk.

When the Supreme Court overturns Gitlow and the states are free to ignore the First Amendment, there will be plenty of Red States that will be willing to pass laws to jail anyone who writes a book critical of the Mango Mussolini.
