Does he have to comment on every murder in the USA?

No but if it was an American was murdered by an Indian I reckon he would be bleeting on about judges blocking his executive order.

If this site is anything to go by it sometimes feels like Trump supporters have lost sight of right and wrong, if that same attitude applies in the States, the future is very bleak.

The White House has blocked several major news outlets from covering its daily press briefing without any explanation.

White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer on Friday hand selected news outlets to participate in an off-camera “gaggle” with reporters inside his West Wing office instead of the James S Brady Press Briefing Room.

The news outlets blocked from the press briefing include organisations who President Trump has criticised by name. CNN, BBC, The New York Times, LA Times, New York Daily News, BuzzFeed, The Hill, and the Daily Mail, were among the news outlets barred from the gathering.

Looks like it backfired on them as hardly anyone turned up. Starting to look like free speech is a thing of the past in the USA or is this the start of a dictatorship?

I do agree with Trump when he says people should not be able to print stories without naming sources - should be something that happens in this country as well.

An 'extremely credible source' has called my office and told me that @BarackObama's birth certificate is a fraud.

WASHINGTON – President Donald Trump escalated his criticism of the news media Friday, taking direct aim this time at the use of anonymous sources. Reporters “shouldn’t be allowed to use sources unless they use somebody’s name,” he declared, just hours after members of his own staff held a press briefing and refused to allow their names to be used.

I'd ban media that only operated in a negatively biased and liberal way. Nothing to do with dictatorship.

Me too, especially those pompous brats at the BBC. If their bias continues, the compulsory requirement to financially support them will become even more of an issue.

What about them? What happened yesterday ? Whilst I enjoy highlighting hypocrisy, when it comes to the over the top hysteria, when it comes to Trump, but believe it or not, I don't actually follow what goes on day to day, in the Trump camp. I got more pressing issues over this side of the pond that actually matter.

I was under the impression most native Americans were already in America.

No, I don't think there are any Trump "supporters" on this site. I think there are many free thinkers that refuse to jump on the band wagon, and careful not to just take their news from anti-Trump sources and are open to balanced reporting.

Why Brexit and Trump are so important. Standing for the Nation state against the globalist agenda.

It wasn't a Native American, it was a guy from India, if you were trying to make a joke when someone has lost their life, it's in very poor taste.
