The day Trump told the press he'd 'round up' the press, then laughed
Back in 2018, I watched the White House presser where Trump joked about taking away media credentials. Some reporters in the room laughed with him, others looked sick. That same week, he called the press 'the enemy of the people' at a rally in Ohio, and my brother, who works at a local paper, got death threats online for three days straight. I was furious at Trump, but then my neighbor said it was just locker room talk, nothing serious. So which is it, a joke or a real threat to the First Amendment? If you're here because you love Trump, do you actually want him doing that to the press, or do you think they had it coming? And for the folks who hate him, was that day the moment you knew he'd cross every line, or did you already write him off before 2016?

Wait, wasn't that press credentials thing in 2016, not 2018?
