In his new book, Trump's War on the Press, author Julian Zelizer traces the history of Trump's attacks on the media, from his earliest days as a candidate to his presidency. Zelizer argues that Trump's war on the press is a dangerous threat to American democracy, and that it must be stopped.

Trump's attacks on the media have been relentless and unprecedented. He has called journalists "the enemy of the people" and accused them of being "fake news." He has banned reporters from his rallies and press conferences, and has threatened to revoke the press credentials of journalists who criticize him.

Zelizer argues that Trump's war on the press is a deliberate attempt to undermine the public's trust in the media. By attacking the media, Trump is trying to make it more difficult for journalists to hold him accountable for his actions.

Zelizer's book is a timely and important warning about the dangers of Trump's war on the press. He argues that if Trump is allowed to continue his attacks on the media, it will have a devastating impact on American democracy.

Here are some of the key points that Zelizer makes in his book:

• Trump's attacks on the media are a continuation of a long history of attacks on the press by authoritarian leaders.
• Trump's attacks are particularly dangerous because they are coming from the president of the United States.
• Trump's attacks are having a chilling effect on journalism, making it more difficult for journalists to do their jobs.
• Trump's attacks are a threat to American democracy, because they are undermining the public's trust in the media.

Zelizer concludes his book with a call to action. He urges Americans to defend the press and to hold Trump accountable for his attacks. He argues that the future of American democracy depends on it.

Trump's War on the Press is a must-read for anyone who is concerned about the future of American democracy.
