Trump escalates media attacks as he eyes potential second term

Donald Trump is intensifying his attacks on the media as he prepares for a potential second term. He has labeled journalists as the "enemy of the people," echoing sentiments from past presidents like Richard Nixon. Media lawyers are concerned that Trump may increase legal actions against journalists, including subpoenas and lawsuits, which could threaten press freedoms. Current protections for journalists may be weakened, especially if the Supreme Court revisits key legal precedents. Trump's administration could also push for cuts to public media funding and limit press access to the White House. These developments signal a significant shift in the relationship between the government and the media.
