Donald Trump indicated Sunday that he would like to see the United States’ libel laws become more like those in England.

During an interview with WFOR-TV in Miami, Trump was asked if he thinks there is “too much protection allowed in the First Amendment.”.....

You can lose a libel case in the UK even if the article was all true.

This is how things like child abuse by the elite never got reported until after the perp was dead.

Libel tourism is an industry here.

Trump is truly dangerous.  As President, he would no doubt look for ways to skirt the law when it came to criticism of him or his policies.  He is a vindictive, petty ahole who is so thin-skinned he doesn't realize that paying attention to trashing just gives it more life.

Thank God we won't have to endure this clown in the White House.
