Chris Cillizza on Donald Trump
← Back to Donald Trump ProfileSpeaking on social media censorship, this statement contrasts the hypothetical control of phone companies with the "far more power" wielded by social media giants.
“Imagine if your local phone companies tried to edit or censor what you said. Social media companies have far more power.”
In 2021, former President Trump reacted to Colin Powell's death with a mixed message, criticizing his Iraq War decisions while expressing hope for similar media treatment.
“Wonderful to see Colin Powell, who made big mistakes on Iraq and famously, so-called weapons of mass destruction, be treated in death so beautifully by the Fake News Media. Hope that happens to me someday. He was a classic RINO, if even that, always being the first to attack other Republicans. He made plenty of mistakes, but anyway, may he rest in peace!”
