Let’s have a Trump-free week

It seems presidential nominee Donald Trump has a problem with the First Amendment. When you become a public figure you, need to have thick skin to weather what is reported both good or bad about you. When I was on the Fresno Unified School Board, I was not always in agreement with what The Fresno Bee wrote.

I never refused to talk to the reporters even if I thought they got it wrong. There are a number of different news outlets both TV and print. I figure the community was smart enough to figure out what was the truth.

Mr. Trump has already revoked the credentials of more than10 news agencies. I am surprised that the press corps has not boycotted his campaign. Maybe a week without any news from Mr. Trump would be refreshing to all.
