Donald #Trump, the terrorist president of the United States who attacks and persecutes #journalism and #journalists. United Sates (#UnitedStates), Terrorism (#Terrorism), Journalistic Terrorism (#JournalisticTerrorism).


Here is a list of prominent journalists, television presenters, hosts, and media figures whom #DonaldTrump has publicly attacked, criticized, insulted, or targeted over the years. Trump has frequently labeled much of the mainstream media as “fake news” or “the enemy of the people,” often focusing on specific individuals with personal insults, nicknames, bans from events, or legal actions. Attacks have been especially noted toward female reporters and those at outlets like CNN, NBC, ABC, The New York Times, and The Washington Post. Women and journalists of color have been disproportionately targeted with personal insults (e.g., “nasty,” “stupid,” “ugly,” “bimbo,” “dummy,” or appearance-based comments).
#Oprah Winfrey (#OprahWinfrey, globally, she is the richest Black woman and the wealthiest female celebrity. Dubbed the “Queen of All Media”, she was the richest African-American of the 20th century and was once the world’s only Black billionaire. Trump demanded a “major investigation” into Oprah, along with #Beyoncé, Bruce #Springsteen, and others).
