Instead of acknowledging public scrutiny, Trump launched into a tirade \u2014 but this time, it ended with a threat. \u201cThe press has been out of control,\u201d he said. \u201cThat\u2019s going to change.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Media watchdog groups like Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ) immediately flagged the statement as a dangerous escalation. \u201cIt\u2019s one thing to complain about coverage,\u201d one analyst wrote, \u201cIt\u2019s another to promise retaliation.\u201dCritics argue this moment marks a major red line: a U.S. president actively targeting the First Amendment. Whether it\u2019s bluster or a serious shift in policy, one thing is clear \u2014 it\u2019s no longer just talk. He said it. On camera.
