Trump Goes Totalitarian: Retweets Demand For Fox News To Pull Judge Napolitano Off The Air

On Saturday, Trump retweeted a comment from a Twitter feed that had only 235 followers at the time that called for Judge Napolitano's removal from their airtime.

A major component of the dictatorship/totalitarian rulers is to have a monopoly on the means of communication.

Under Trump, Fox News has become an almost total state-sponsored propaganda network that supports every whim, bad decision, despicable act, vile remark and embarrassing foreign policy decision he makes. They then try to rewrite the laws of nature to blame the opposing political party for all of Trump's bad behaviors.

There are but a few on Fox News that try to give honest opinions on the Trump administration, even when they are longtime friends of Donald Trump and one of those is Judge Andrew Napolitano.

Napolitano has not shied away from refusing to bend the knee to Trump and support his every move, unlike so many allegedly patriotic Republicans. And for that, Trump is now calling for his removal from the Fox News Channel.

what he wants means nothing. He's just another viewer with an opinion.
