Trump Antagonized the Free-Press and Democratic Congress

President Trump attacked CNN reporter Jim Acosta as he attempted to ask why he characterized the caravan of people seeking freedom as being an invasion force worthy of calling out the US Military while the unarmed people are hundreds of miles away from the border.

CNN management issued a statement in defense of Jim Acosta and the free press noting that the free press is something that Presidents are sworn to defend. It was a proper question and Trump's using false information in his campaign speeches and advertising is un-American.

Yes, Trump is un-American as was his threatening the US Congress not to pursue investigations of him and his cabinet or he will retaliate. It is the duty of Congress to provide oversight of the executive branch and possible abuses of power.

Nancy Pelosi said that there won't be any scatter-shot investigations and that she and the Democrats will try to work with Trump where they can.

The President continues to provide more evidence that he is not abiding by the Constitution and his oath of office and those actions pile onto the already loaded investigations into his performance and behavior as President as he undermines the rule of law.
