This is the moment that Donald Trump threatens an ABC reporter after they asked about free speech. Speaking with ABC News Chief Washington Correspondent Jonathan Karl on Tuesday (16 September), the president appeared to become annoyed after the reporter asked him about Pam Bondi’s crackdown on “hate speech”. “A lot of your allies say hate speech is free speech,” Mr Karl said, to which Mr Trump responded: “She’d probably go after people like you because you treat me so unfairly. It’s hate. You have a lot of hate in your heart.” After slamming ABC, the president claimed that he “wants everything to be fair” and placed blame with the “radical left who have done tremendous damage to the country”.

      Of course they are winning, the American electorate made sure of that. Presidency, both chambers, Supreme Court, popular vote, etc.

      Project 2025 was known worldwide, now they are just implementing it.

      And the public seem to be fine with it, trump has one of the highest approval ratings in the world (despite being negative).

      Obamacare will be next, then Medicare, then contraceptives, then gay marriage…

      The thing is you’re confused here, but it’s fine because he’s confused. It’s the wrong ABC. He thinks it’s the American broadcasting corporation. And you could be forgiven for thinking that because that’s all the identification we get here. This is actually the “Australian” broadcasting corporation. I’m not as familiar, but it looks like their PBS.

        There were recent interactions with both nations’ ABCs. The OP article where he says “maybe we should go after you” is about US ABC, after a reporter asked about going after hate speech.

        In the one about Aus ABC the reporter asked about shady business deals, and the response was “You’re hurting Australia” and threatened to tell the Austalian “leader” that the reporter was setting a “bad tone”.
