Given wannabe autocrat Donald Trump`s complete disdain for the free press in this country, it`s no surprise that his Justice Department stooped low enough to seize records of four 'New York Times' reporters.

I think it`s a political persecution. And I know that because she literally campaigned on it. In New York, it`s OK to try to persecute your political enemies, to try to target them, to try to hurt them. And they have been doing that for…

We need new numbers.

I could stage a violent coup and stay in office illegally. And I wouldn`t lose any followers.
