Like the Indian prime minister, Narendra Modi, before him, Donald Trump tweeted his way through his first presidency and made fun of the press. He also lavishly funded this presidential election. ADVERTISEMENTThe 2024 presidential election in the United States of America presented an unusual challenge to the press. It was reported that the paper’s editor had emailed her staff offering counselling and therapy as the paper vowed to support its workforce after Donald Trump’s “upsetting” US election victory. The Guardian then announced that it would not post on Twitter any longer, presumably in protest against Elon Musk putting his platform at Donald Trump’s service and bankrolling his election.
