‘We no longer have freedom of the press,’ President Trump declares – AOL

President Trump again slammed the media on Sunday, declaring that we no longer have Freedom of the Press!

He made the comment in a Sunday morningtweetwhere he also said: Journalistic standards are nonexistent today.

Trumps post was in response to a tweet blastingABCNews for not airing a report about Jeffrey Epstein while publicizing accusations of misconduct against Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh during his confirmation process.

The president has frequently attacked the media in the past.

In a tweet months ago, hewrote: The press is doing everything within their power to fight the magnificence of the phrase,MAKEAMERICAGREATAGAIN! They cant stand the fact that this Administration has done more than virtually any other Administration in its first 2yrs. They are truly theENEMYOFTHEPEOPLE!
