Trump's demand that TBS fire Samantha Bee may violate First Amendment
In a tweet published on Friday morning, President Donald Trump suggested that TBS fire television host Samantha Bee, after the comedian used a vulgar term to describe White House adviser Ivanka Trump, the president’s daughter. But while it’s natural for the president to claim a paternal prerogative in defense of his own children, Trump’s unique position puts him in sketchy waters with regard to the First Amendment.
What’s more, Trump’s claim of a “double standard” in play casts him in a hypocritical light, based upon his own history of wanton vulgarity.
“Why aren’t they firing no talent Samantha Bee for the horrible language used on her low ratings show?” he wrote. “A total double standard but that’s O.K., we are Winning, and will be doing so for a long time to come!”

On Wednesday night, in the opening monologue of her show, Full Frontal, Bee criticized Ivanka for posting a photo of herself with her son at the same time her father was implementing aggressive immigration policies that separated hundreds of thousands of children from their parents at the southern U.S. border.
“Ivanka Trump, who works at the White House, chose to post the second most oblivious tweet we’ve seen this week,” Bee said. “You know, Ivanka, that’s a beautiful photo of you and your child. But let me just say, one mother to another, do something about your dad’s immigration practices, you feckless c—t.”
