is it illegal to say anything negative about trump

It is not illegal to say anything negative about President Trump. Negative speech about public figures, including the President, is protected under the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, which guarantees free speech. Although President Trump has publicly claimed that negative media coverage of him is "illegal" and suggested harsher measures against journalists and broadcasters, these claims do not reflect current U.S. law. Criticism of the President and unfavorable reporting are legally protected forms of free speech, and there is no law making it illegal to say something negative about him or any other public official. Recent controversies involving Trump include his assertions that negative news coverage and criticism should be illegal and threats to revoke broadcast licenses of networks he claims are biased against him. However, these are political statements and have not changed the legal protections surrounding criticism and free speech. The U.S. legal system continues to uphold that it is legal to express negative opinions about the President as part of free speech rights.
