Credibility by whom? This kind of statement cracks Me up. I am no Trump supporter, but those who hate anything right of Stalin wouldn't believe or accept anything that the right has to say, regardless. To say something like this is to say that the left would have given him some credibility if he did things they agree with, which they won't.He can say whatever the fuck he wants, just like you can.More fearmongering.How can people continue to support this guy? Can you think of any other historical figures that wanted to silence anyone that talked ill of them...?
""With all of the Fake News coming out of NBC and the Networks, at what point is it appropriate to challenge their License? Bad for country!" Mr Trump wrote in a tweet."

James Madison and Thomas Jefferson said that the free press was a key element in having a true democracy.
"I am... for freedom of the press, and against all violations of the Constitution to silence by force and not by reason the complaints or criticisms, just or unjust, of our citizens against the conduct of their agents." --Thomas Jefferson to Elbridge Gerry, 1799. ME 10:78
Jefferson on Politics & Government: Freedom of the Press
Trump doesn't have the power to do this, nor would the American people permit it.
That's the point. The moron doesn't know he shouldn't say such things.
It isn't his, or My problem, that the moronic left can't distinguish between his opinion and his actual abuse of power.
He can say what he wants and he does. Of course the consequence of doing so has ruined any credibility he could have had and further reinforces the belief that he's a complete moron.
It is just an asinine way to look at things.
