“‘When you have a [television] network and you have evening shows, and all they do is hit Trump,’ complained the most powerful man in the world while onboard Air Force One, returning from a white-tie dinner with King Charles III last week. ‘They’re licensed. They’re not allowed to do that.’ As ever, the statement was unvarnished in its egotism, dropping the pretense that Trump’s latest attack on free speech had anything to do with the distasteful reaction in some quarters to the shocking murder of Charlie Kirk. Instead, fresh from Windsor Castle, Trump put on full view his impulse for a gilded lèse-majesté — avenging the alleged defamation of himself as head of state.” (09/20/25)
