Wertheimer Statement: Founding Fathers vs. Donald Trump

Take your pick: Founding Fathers John Adams, Thomas Jefferson and James Madison, versus Donald Trump.

Founding Father John Adams said, “The liberty of the press is essential to the security of freedom in a state.”

Founding Father Thomas Jefferson said, “Our liberty depends on the freedom of the press.”

Founding Father James Madison said, “To the press alone, chequered as it is with abuses, the world is indebted for all the triumphs which have been gained by reason and humanity over error and oppression.”

President Trump said the media is the “true Enemy of the People.”

I choose Adams, Jefferson and Madison.
