Why is Trump attacking the free press and banning media outlets from the White House (the People's House) like a dictator?

He loves Kim Jung Un and other communist dictators and he wants to be just like them.

He is pathetic and loser. Same with his supporters.

There is nothing there holding white men back they have a whole administration of white men yet they can't defeat random guys children with Sandles on in the desert.

The white men want affirmative action and they were the ones who benefited the most from DEI. Just look at how they can't defeat Iran.

It goes to show you how Black Americans are the reason white men are able to do anything.

The guy fired three staff at Stars and Stripes for reporting accurately on living conditions aboard the USS Abraham Lincoln. If he's happy to shit on his own military, why would he care about the free press.

💯💯💯

He should really be careful of that because I think when it comes time for him to leave office and he doesn't want to go, the military is not going to support him.

[Asker]

@msc545 You are absolutely correct! But these MAGATs think that Trump has the military in his back pocket! Their delusion is truly unbelievable!

[NoDecision]

Because he is a wannabe dictator and has this up his butt.

[Asker]

She refuses to tolerate anybody challenging her or saying anything bad about her.

Looks like the AI changed the gender on what I wrote for some damn reason.

[Asker]

Isn't AI awesome?

[msc545]

It really is awesome.

The media's job and every human being on earth's job is to make him look good. That is our only purpose in life! If you don't do that, you have no purpose to him.

Fox News paid around $700 million in a lawsuit because they falsely claimed he won the 2020 election. Is he going to call Fox News a liar or fake news now too?

[strateguy632]

they lost in court but it was not a lie.

[strateguy632]

oops they did not go to court. settled before.

[Alex-Snow]

Because King Trump cannot stand the truth at times. I feel like our country is turning into a dictatorship run by an incompetent toddler.

He suffers from severe narcissistic personality disorder and believes they're lying about his negative attributes

There are a lot of news outlets these days and the White House only has room for a specific number of them. It is a privilege and not a right. CNN and MSNOW as well as Politico has shown that tghey are not real journalists but just democrat operatives with press passes. They never report the news fairly and the lie more than they tell the truth. President Trump has been generous to them by toleration them this long. I think he just did it to humiliate them.

[Asker]

WTAF? Only "room for some of them"? OMFG!!! The Constitution determined Freedom of the Press!!! It's not a fucking "PRIVILEGE"!!! IT'S A FUCKING RIGHT!!! NO PRESIDENT GIVES THAT "PRIVILEGE"!!! ... ANY PRESIDENT REGARDLESS OF PARTY DOES NOT "HUMILIATE" MEMBERS OF THE PRESS BECAUSE THEIR REPORTING PISSES HIM OFF!!! WE DON'T LIVE IN RUSSIA, CHINA OR NORTH KOREA!!! SINCE YOU LIKE THIS SO MUCH, WHY DON'T YOU MOVE THERE?

When Trump started his second term Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said the same thing that I just said. It is a privilege to be in the White House Press corps and with the proliferation of alternate news sources there is a limited number of people who can be allowed access.

[Asker]

Again!!! READ THE FUCKING CONSTITUTION!!! Karoline Leavitt is NOT A CONSTITUTIONAL LAWYER! SHE'S JUST A MOUTHPIECE FOR TRUMP! HER OPINION MEANS ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!!! GETTING A DRIVER LICENSE IS A PRIVILEGE!!! FREEDOM OF THE PRESS IS A RIGHT!!! YOU ARE SERIOUSLY CONFUSED!!! AGAIN, I THINK YOU WOULD LIKE IT BETTER IN RUSSIA, CHINA OR NORTH KOREA!!!

nobody is restricting them from printing anything that they want. Trump has the right to restrict them fron the White House just as he can do with any disruptive influence. And lets face it, these so called news outlets have been disrupting Trump's press conferences sine he became president. They are openly hostile and ask stupid questions designed to make President Trump look bad. He should have given them the boot a long time ago, hey really bring nothing postitve to the dialog.

[Asker]

Do you want me to mail you a copy of the Constitution? What would do if Biden or Obama told Fox News, Newsmax and Breitbart that they can't come to the WH because "there isn't enough room" for them! ? 🤣😂🤣😂 by the way, are you implying that these same news outlets weren't "openly hostile and ask[ed] stupid questions designed to make [Presidents Biden and Obama] look bad." Trump needs to grow a pair stop getting butthurt because everyone doesn't say nice things about him! EVERY PRESIDENT HAS TO DEAL WITH THIS!!! SILENCING THE OPPOSITION IS WHAT DICTATORS DO!!! A REAL American WOULD NOT SUPPORT THIS BEHAVIOR!!!

Recently it was announced that the poverty rate is the lowest in American history. The median household income is the highest in American history. The murder rate is the lowest in 100 years. The Atlanta fed predicts the 2026 GDP will be 5 %. We have virtually zero illegal immigration and ICE is arresting and deporting illegal aliens that came in during the Biden years in record numbers.
Was any of this news ever reported on CNN? No it was not.
They report that gas prices have gone up a buck a gallon and they repeat it over and over again.

[exitseven]

These are not legitimate news sources and their ratings are so low you cannot even make the argument that they are silencing major news sources

[Asker]

Gee! That argument sounds remarkably similar to your favorite president. Another guy who has not read the US Constitution!

[exitseven]

I will say this again , these news outlets can write whatever BS that they want. That is their First Amendment rights. There is no place in the First Amendment that says they have automatic access to presidential press conferences. conferences.

[Asker]

I will say again... read the fucking Constitution! The President represents the citizens of this country! Keeping media outlets from confronting those in power because they can't handle criticism, hard questions and differing opinions is the behavior of dictators, and you fucking know it! The WH is the American People's House... not Trump's personal property! He's confusing it with Mar-a-lago! You can keep trying to convince me that only outlets that support Trump should be allowed all you want! It's fucking bullshit... and you know it! It's not a consolation prize saying "You can write what you want, but don't question or piss off the Dear Leader at the WH." Listen to how you sound! It's baffling to me why MAGATS talk about patriotism, but fully support fascism and fascists!!! I listened to you fuckers criticize Harris, Biden and Obama all day everyday! It might upset me, but I would NEVER support silencing you or banning the news outlets you follow from the WH or the Pentagon!!! We live in America!!!

[strateguy632]

he did not close their channel so not like a fascist that is what users HERE do to opinions. trump just stopped them harassing.
