UN Commissioner on Trump, Press Freedom and Transgender Ban

U.N. High Commissioner for Human Rights Zeid Ra'ad Hussein accused President Trump of inciting violence against journalists by labeling news organizations as "fake." The discussion argues that the First Amendment protects the President's right to criticize the press and that the U.N.'s claims are an overreach. The "transgender ban" is also noted as a recurring point of media attack against the administration.
