The Romans had a law, it has one of those Latin names, that means “wounded majesty.” That occurred when someone belittled the ruler. It carried the swiftest death penalty of all. The Roman rulers and government, of course, realized that it undermined their authority.
Fast forward to our era, that technique was legalized by our Constitution.
The MSM and the democrats utilize the “wounded majesty” strategy endlessly to smear Trump. Recall the reporter asking Trump to his face,”Are you a Russian agent?” For him the answer mattered not at all; he had succeeded in smearing Trump before the entire world.
As Trump says, it is unheard of in this country, and it is made worse by having the lowest form of trash working in the MSM or elected to office.

Not familiar with the Latin, but the French phrase is “lèse-majesté.”
