Trump Follows Through on Democrats' Suggestions

In the context of freedom of expression, Donald Trump's presidency has been a significant event, according to Canadian journalist and radio host, Paul Arcand. One notable development during this period was the withdrawal of Jimmy Kimmel's show, a decision made by ABC, which is owned by Disney.

The withdrawal occurred in response to comments made by Jimmy Kimmel about the murder of conservative influencer, Charlie Kirk. However, Paul Arcand sees this move as an attack on freedom of expression, adding to the growing list of actions perceived as attacks on free speech during Trump's presidency.

Trump, who has presented himself as a defender of freedom of expression, has imposed censorship during his term, according to Arcand. This includes intimidating judges who ruled against his decrees, placing puppets at the head of various ministries, the FBI, and Defense, and sending soldiers into the streets and pardoning the rioters of the January 6th Capitol.

Moreover, Trump has attempted to control the Federal Reserve, the equivalent of the Bank of Canada, and has accused Joe Biden's political police of imposing censorship, but is doing the same to Americans, Arcand commented.

In a discussion about these attacks on freedom of expression, Paul Arcand related the withdrawal of Jimmy Kimmel's show to the broader context of Trump's presidency, highlighting the ongoing concerns about free speech during this period.
