Calling a President out on their lies seems like a satisfactory solution to me.
Unfortunately, the modern political climate is such that even that is considered censorship. We can't even dare claim that lies exist, because obviously no one person or institution can be trusted to define what is and isn't truth without an ulterior motive.
So the only politically correct solution is to assert that all politicians are equally (maximally) corrupt, all statements are equally valid, all attempts at nuance are motivated by partisan hypocrisy, and any possible solution is a slippery slope to an Orwellian dystopia, so we have no option but to simply let the fire burn.
Although I must say, it is strange how none of this seemed to be the case prior to 2016.
Melodramatic. Big tech has appointed itself as the gatekeepers of truth, and has regularly added new creative types of censorship. Look at his Twitter, where positive comments are reparented so professional noise makers can whine. Look at all of the content creators who have been deplatformed, demonitized, and algorithmically deprioritized in favor of allowed speech. Creative, right?
Now is an opportune time for Trump to make a big claim to get attention and frame reality to his advantage. Politics 101. Trump is actively being attacked by a well established and well funded machine. Reminding people of this as election time approaches mobilizes them.
