Trump Shuts Down First Amendment?

Donald Trump, in February of 2016, argued to "open up the libel laws" and aim to sue any such media outlets in order to make money. He essentially didn't like what the media has been saying about him and deems it unacceptable. This is a dangerous accusation to bring it up because it raises the question of does Trump take aim at removing the right to speech. The people have the freedom of press but the press commentators also have the right for their own freedom of speech. Many believe that Trump is just being the typical big-talker and guy who is mouthing off but in reality, the media outlets claim that Trump has been very successful in the past with conducting, filing, and winning SLAPP's (Strategic Lawsuit Against Public Participation). This exercises the right not to go against Trump or anyone with the idea of using SLAPP in the future.

If Trump were President, the idea behind this story, is that he would likely replace and pick Chief Justices that would revisit the libel laws and be in denial of Anti-SLAPP laws. This gives Trump the right to say what he wants without a major media backlash. For Trump, the SLAPP laws gives Trump for self-power to do what he wants without consequence. Thus, the media couldn't say anything negative toward him without his consent or he could sue them for a lot of money. This may be a win-win for Donald Trump but for the rest of the country it becomes a mess. This means that bloggers could not act out in malice with their opinions against Trump or for any powerful figure who is in favor of this, for that matter. This could break down a country built upon freedom, something that this country can and should fear.
