Journalists have been at the front lines of countless pitched battles during the Trump administration, bringing light to corruption and transparency to government. But also, they did this.
So it’s worth asking: how would they handle their greatest test of all? How would our beloved free press respond if the president tweeted “ATTENTION: I’m gonna tweet out all the racial slurs I know (THREAD 1/)” and then proceeded to do just that? We have some ideas:
- “In latest racial controversy, backers see Trump exercising free speech” – The New York Times
- “Barr: Kanye said he could” – The Wall Street Journal
- “#StandWithTrump trends as thousands tweet racially tinged epithets in solidarity” – The Washington Post
- “Dems fret free speech controversy puts Massachusetts in play for 2020” – Politico
- “Racist country’s racist president tweets racist things” – BBC
- “COURAGE: Pres. Trump takes on corrupt civil rights industry” – Fox News
- “Obama’s hip hop barbeque STILL didn’t create any jobs” – Fox Nation

- “Good.” – Breitbart
- “Undaunted by the Trump supporter we saw on the freeway last week, we bravely condemn Trump’s tweets” – Deadspin
- “I mean, let’s at least hear him out” – Financial Times editorial board
