I don't hear PET talk about Constitutional rights. FIRST AMENDMENT rights. PET is at war with the media. Can PET do what Congress can't?

"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof, or abridging the freedom of speech OR OF THE PRESS...." PET banned certain media from press conferences and rallies. He has taunted the press and egged his audiences on to attack them verbally.  What is he so scared of that he has to ban people from doing their jobs?

    President don't make laws. In resent years our Presidents have become fond of executive orders but those can be ruled unconstitutional just the same as a law can.

    Thank you for your reply m2c and Happy Thursday to thee. So. Did you investigate the Rust Belt stuff as I suggested? Would you like to take back your assertion that NAFTA was to blame for its demise? It would be nice if you did. :)

    I replied to the answer. But here it is again.

    Yes they started declining in the 1950s after WWII. 
    But that is not all of the jobs that left.... NAFTA did have alot to do with the rest of the jobs leaving...

    This is from PBS in 2007. 

    If you listen to some corporate lobbyists and Beltway pundits, you’d think that only blue-collar workers without college degrees working in a Rust Belt factory should be concerned about NAFTA-style trade agreements. Not so.

    You don't start your article out like that if NAFTA did not have a huge effect on that region.

    If the press isn't fair, public opinion will do more harm than Trump will.
