Donald Trump: the surprise force who saved the First Amendment
COMMENTARY
By Billy Hallowell - Wednesday, July 2, 2025
OPINION:
It’s been 10 years since Donald Trump descended the now-infamous golden escalator to announce to the world his intention to run for president.
Mr. Trump, who had long flirted with the idea of becoming commander in chief, was met with an array of reactions. From surprise to alarm — and even laughs — the notion that the bombastic billionaire and reality TV star could ever occupy the White House seemed strange to some.
