It's a uniquely American take on dictatorship...

He really is uniquely unfit. Literally suing to stop the free press doing their job. Where have we seen this before?

The Propaganda Ministry and the Reich Press Chamber In paragraph 14 of the law, the regime required editors to omit anything “calculated to weaken the strength of the Reich abroad or at home.”

The Propaganda Ministry aimed further to control the content of news and editorial pages through directives distributed in daily conferences in Berlin and transmitted via the Nazi Party propaganda offices to regional or local papers. Detailed guidelines stated what stories could or could not be reported and how to report the news. Journalists or editors who failed to follow these instructions could be fired or, if believed to be acting with intent to harm Germany, sent to a concentration camp. Rather than suppressing news, the Nazi propaganda apparatus instead sought to tightly control its flow and interpretation and to deny access to alternative sources of news.

Maybe fox news could become his propaganda ministry - they are already half way there.
This is not hyperbole. If you had asked any German in 1930 about losing free press they would have scoffed... if Trump gets his way free press will be abolished. As Goebbels said It is the absolute right of the State to supervise the formation of public opinion.

Heh.

4. CNN should reply with a motion to dismiss with sanctions against Trump for a frivolous suit.

It was the threat of a lawsuit, they didn't file.
