Trump Imperils Obama's Warnings - Former President Barack Obama issues a warning about the current emotional state of President Donald Trump. Trump responds with visible signs of anger.
In a recent turn of events, former U.S. President Barack Obama has shared an op-ed piece by journalist Zack Beauchamp, discussing the current administration's use of regulatory powers to punish speech they don't agree with. This comes as former President Obama has expressed opposition to the government's actions, without explicitly mentioning the current president.
Meanwhile, the current U.S. President, Donald Trump, has lashed out at late-night host Jimmy Kimmel, praising ABC for cancelling Kimmel's show and criticizing Kimmel's talent and ratings compared to Stephen King. Trump called the cancellation of Kimmel's show 'great news for America.'
The cancellation of Kimmel's show, 'Jimmy Kimmel Live!', and the end of Stephen King's 'Late Show' on CBS, have been attributed to financial decisions. However, it's notable that two Trump critics are losing their shows, a fact that Trump has not missed. Trump has demanded that Jimmy Fallon and Seth Meyers remain on NBC, despite their low ratings.
Reporter ohne Grenzen (RSF) has expressed concerns regarding the situation of media freedom in the USA, following a significant worsening of the situation for journalists after the attack on ultraright activist Charlie Kirk on the 10th of September. The CEO of the German RSF section, Anja Osterhaus, described the situation as a 'regular escalation' of the threat to press freedom in the USA.
Trump had previously targeted Jimmy Kimmel weeks ago, following the announcement of the end of Stephen King's 'Late Show' on CBS. Trump wrote on his Truth Social platform that Jimmy Kimmel has zero talent and worse ratings than Stephen King.
The op-ed piece by Zack Beauchamp suggests that Trump's administration's actions are similar to those of modern autocrats. Trump has also referred to Jimmy Fallon's 'The Tonight Show' and Seth Meyers' 'Late Night with Seth Meyers.'
Obama, on the other hand, has warned that the government is threatening media companies with regulatory measures if they don't silence or fire unpopular reporters and commentators. This is a concerning development, as the freedom of speech is a fundamental right in any democratic society.
As these events unfold, it is crucial for the American public and the international community to remain vigilant and support the principles of free speech and a free press.
