Everyone has free speech, but everyone else has the right to criticise what they say - however, as the President, what he says has much more import than just your every day voter, and he needs to recognise that. Even his Supreme Court nominee was uncomfortable with his comments about the Judge. |

He might be asking, can I do this, can I do that ? And they will be advising him of all sorts of things he can do legally and what he cannot do, he obviously has to act within the realms of the law and the Constitution, because he took an Oath to preserve, protect and defend it, working outside this and doing things illegally, will obviously get him impeached. The Executive Order he signed to restrict access to the US for 90 days, went through legal hurdles before it was commenced, a Judge in Boston actually upheld his Order, yet two Court rulings have since suspended it. So one Judge thinks his order was in check but another two don't. With a healthy Republican majority in both chambers of Congress, I don't think he will have an issue of getting things passed, where as Obama did, but I do accept not all Republicans are behind him and they could side with the Democrats on some of his other things he may want to get passed. ---------- Post added at 14:19 ---------- Previous post was at 14:14 ---------- Quote:

Re: U.S President: Donald Trump
Let's get one myth sorted out. Trump is no lover of free speech. He has banned US organisations from discussing abortions except in special circumstances.
"In one of his first acts as president, Donald Trump introduced a ban on funding for any international organization that, anywhere in its health care programs, provides or even discusses abortions with patients, other than in cases of rape, incest or life endangerment." https://www.nytimes.com/2017/01/24/o...als-death.html |

He has not put a ban on free speech, as a believer in Pro-Life he has removed funding from organisations that promote abortions except in the case of "rape, incest or life endangerment". Sounds a lot different now doesn't it. |

Last Warning
If I continue to see people insulting other members, warnings will start to fly. You are free to disagree, you are not free to keep insulting each other. |

No one is saying that Trump has banned all free speech. I'm not the kind of person to compare him against dictators as that's daft. But he has prevented US organisations from talking about abortion unless under special circumstances. That is an attack on free speech in my book. But I happily accept that others may not view it as an attack on free speech. |

In preventing people taking about abortion, I believe that Trump is attacking free speech. |

Infact, it seems to be a Republican Policy, Ronald Reagan introduced it in 1984, then Bill Clinton god rid, then George W Bush brought it back and then Barack Obama revoked it in 2009. Quote:
Nothing to do with free speech and abortion, women can freely talk about it to their hearts content, they just cannot seek counsel from nongovernmental organizations who might work outside US abortion laws. But as usual because it's Trump who has done it, he's extra bad. Give me a break. :rolleyes: |

I don't believe Trump is extra bad here - and I've not said he is. But he is attacking free speech. Those organisations cannot even discuss abortion with women. |

Re: U.S President: Donald Trump
Didn't he also place an EO preventing the EPA from publicly speaking about projects or releasing info, which went against what Obama did.
