Yet the US president unilaterally shut down Voice of America because he didn't like its message
Freedom of speech for me, not for thee

Huh? Voice of America is a basically a government organization blasting out US propaganda.
The president runs VOA, it's not some separate entity he decided to censor.
> US president unilaterally
The whole truth here would be that technically he did not do it unilaterally but as a representative of his voters, so basically almost as far from unilaterally as possible.
That is not what unilaterally means when the US government takes action. It means none of the other decision makers or branches were involved.
Don’t be obtuse
