Abstract

The article examines the complex and often adversarial relationship between Donald Trump and the news media, highlighting how both parties have benefited from their interactions despite mutual disdain. It discusses how Trump's rhetoric has eroded trust in journalism, particularly among his supporters, and suggests that a second Trump presidency could further undermine press freedom through more aggressive tactics against journalists. The piece warns that the media's struggle for relevance in a polarized environment may lead to a compromise of journalistic integrity, ultimately questioning the ability of the press to fulfill its democratic role in the face of disinformation and public apathy.
