Former US President and presidential candidate Donald Trump has criticized the working conditions of journalists and public researchers. He called for the suppression of voices of protesters and environmental activists who marched against his selection of “dark electors” and his pro-military policies, according to reports by the Associated Press (AP).

Addressing a concert of thousands of environmental activists in the capital, Trump expressed concern about the millions of people crossing the border, suggesting they posed a great danger to the “dark elector” and diplomatic representation.

Furthermore, when speaking about groups of journalists who serve as the voices of these protesters, Trump reportedly stated, “They are not people, they are gas.”

According to the AP, ethnic minorities may play a more significant role in US presidential elections than Trump anticipated. Ethnic minority groups are evidently more important for the Democratic Party of the United States than African Americans, who formed the backbone of former US President Joe Biden’s political base in 2020.

However, five months after the elections, the voices of environmental activists, who were significant supporters of 81-year-old Biden, have seemingly been silenced. Trump is attempting to leverage his apparent popularity and emphasizes the role of communication channels in doing so.
