Press freedom groups have raised alarms regarding the potential dangers facing journalists under a second Trump administration. The Committee to Protect Journalists, Reporters Without Borders, Freedom of the Press Foundation, and American Sunlight Project have called on the president-elect to cease his attacks on the news media or take measures to prevent a destabilizing onslaught against the press.
Reporters Without Borders highlighted that President-elect Donald Trump's frequent use of violent language and threats against the media poses a significant risk to American journalism and global press freedom. During his campaign and previous administration, Trump has consistently targeted the press, with threats and insults being a common occurrence.
