Saint Donald. Total revisionist history, a complete reformation of his entire career, and a total erasure of his past crimes, moral terpitude, and a total and complete willingness to overlook a lifetime of moral bankruptcy.

With many people, once they got attached to a theory, it was hard to get them detached. They’d screen out unhelpful facts, invent favorable ones, and ignore contradictions in their own claims. Look at those Sandy Hook, multiple fraud convictions, and Jan. 6th truthers, babbling about false flags and crisis actors and all the rest. When people were motivated enough to believe something, they were going to believe it no matter what. There was no such thing as a bridge too far.

Obviously, Trump is living in your head. All POTUS make mistakes but those made by Trump pale in comparison to the mess the lefties made. With open borders and DEI policies the liberal lefties have put every American citizen in danger. I agree with your own Democratic strategist (James Carville) that said liberals are "stunningly stupid" and I would add "pathetic" to that description. Carry on with your made-up theories and rhetoric as I could care less.

Why do Trump supporters quote

from every source except Truth Social ?

So do I: anything trump says is a lie.

Good start. The next step is trying to figure why he is doing a particular thing. E.g. this bank accounts for kids thing (supposedly funded by his oligarchs). I'm waiting for someone in the media to reveal what he gets out of it.

Never ever ever believe anything he says about acting for the "good of the country," he is only interested in him and his. E.g. he wanted COVID testing to stop so there would be less cases reported that would make him look bad.

Any agreement he makes with Iceland Greenland Denmark will only be done with Putin's blessing.

He wants interest rates lowered only for his own personal benefit. Imagine if he gets a Hegseth-type sycophant for Fed Chairman!

This thing about tearing down Kennedy Center and building a new one, well, he's salivating over that one like a soi dog eyeing a pork leg: if there's one thing he knows how to do it is grifting a construction project (can you say reflecting pool?).* Probably got it directly from ol' Papa Fred. No doubt this is the real impetus behind the Epstein Ballroom project.

* There was a guy in the US who had a kiddie show (Mr. Rogers) who tried to expand the kids' vocabulary, and after initially saying the sentence he would say "Can you say [new word here]? I knew you could.)"

I'm assuming he doesn't understand what the word "repressive" means.

When you can't afford rent groceries and utilities ❓

When Republicans are forcing alien data sinners in your rural community ❓

And they're spending $2B a month over in some Quamire <deleted>hole instead of fixing up America ❓

Then you start to WOKE UP out of your FOX SNOOZE you can't use 😄

They're starting to wake up.

They should not mention him at all.

Use "The White House" and never use president nor his name.

No reference to his family members unless it involves indictment.

That'll hit him where it hurts.

It's not going to hurt these outlets, they all pool together anyway. MSNow is connected to NBC for news, and anyway most of the commentators are guests, bringing info they have gathered.

Politico tends to be the US Marines of US politics, sources in places you wouldn't expect. If it stinks they'll find it.

Now CNN. The biggest of the bunch, several different CNNs around the world, you know. The Big Guy is not going to like being ignored. Oh, those shades of orange are going to change when the flesh underneath goes from Bottle Blush to Fire Engine Red. Another jackass decision, and I'm all for it!

White House press corps, under any president, has got to be one of the worst jobs in the world IMO. I want to say of the reporters "good for you, you got out of there."

I appreciate that facts are anathema to MAGAs, who still believe Trump didn't lose 2020 (he did) and believe Trump ended the 1994 Rwandan Genocide (LOL), and the dolt was Number 1 at UPenn undergrad (He always claims "Wharton School of Finance", which is actually the name used for UPenn's MBA program and grad school. Trump was just an undergrad with a poor GPA). MAGAs even think their $5000 DOGE Check and $2000 Tariff Rebate got confused for a Democrat Mail-in ballot so was destroyed by ICE. Donny would never lie to them, just as he'd never lie to the wives he cheated on or about his dalliance with Stormy Daniels and the illegal payoff.

The Founders, people much much smarter than any MAGA could ever be, made a point of putting, inter alia, Freedom of the Press in the very 1st Amendment. It seems they considered a free press crucial to the running of a democracy.

Trump and MAGAs hate the US Constitution and America itself.

If blocking press access to leaders in a democracy is something you admire, grab your Golden Sneakers, autographed Bible, Trump phone, Trump watch, and what's left of your Trump meme coins, and catch the next Aeroflot plane to Moskva, comrade. You'll be much happier there.

It would be in his favor to "care less", which he admitted he could do. (MAGAs show their placement way left of the mean on the IQ Bell Curve by getting that phrase wrong.)

Obviously he cares way too much that anyone might blaspheme his messiah. If I may use a typical other phrase from the MAGA playbook, anti-Trumpers live rent free in his head. To a MAGA, we're all Danish cartoonists dissing their prophet.

Democracy relies on robust freedom of expression, independent media, and fact-based civic discourse to ensure accountability, expose corruption, and empower citizens. In today’s rapidly evolving information landscape, independent journalism faces numerous challenges, including financial instability, technological disruption, and increasing threats from authoritarian regimes. These pressures not only jeopardize the integrity of the media but also hinder the public’s ability to access reliable information, participate in democratic processes, and hold power accountable. To address these critical issues, effective support for independent journalism and the protection of democratic information spaces is essential.

Many of us have long known that Trump dreams of being a king or a dictator, it seems like those impulses are becoming even stronger as his administration fails miserably, his policies crumble, opposition gains momentum, and criticism becomes ever more powerful.

Go ahead Don, break every single promise you ever made, be the most corrupt president in history, defy the wishes of your voter base with ridiculous forever wars of choice, but this is going to catch up to you, and you will either resign in disgrace, be impeached, be sent to prison or spend the rest of your life in a rather humiliating state of irrelevance.

By spouting his fake news etc. allegations as the reason for the withdrawal, the stable genius has already handed these news organisations with an inevitable win in court. News organisations do not have a constitutional right to access to the White House, there simply isn’t enough room for all of them. However once accredited, that right cannot be withdrawn for reasons of not liking what they report.

I don't always agree with the world's premiere gaming influencer (arguably the best). But in this case, I do.

This is what happens when you lie for years..

Maybe Trump should simply not talk to the press at all. Much like Biden did. If you think Trump hates the Constitution, then Biden took a machete to it. Biden put every single US citizen in harm's way by allowing the vilest human creatures on the face of the earth to cross the borders uncontested. Whatever indiscretions may or may not have had in the past pale in comparison the crime of flooding America with some of the worst criminals the world has ever seen. Now the woke liberals are doubling down by protecting these vile creatures. I'm totally against blocking the press in a democracy but much of the press has become nothing more than social media hacks who spew propaganda to suit their personal agenda who have no business in the White House. If you don't like what Trump is doing that's too bad, you'll just have to wait a couple of years for the next election. Maybe you can do like New York City and elect a Communist leader...comrade.

Silly.

"Put every American in danger" Goodness, a bit melodramatic, aren't you? I hope you have a blanky or coloring book handy.

Let me try a bit of that cultism illogic:

Trump pardoned the 6 January 2021 terrorists. 40 of them have gone on to commit new crimes and are back where animals like them belong: in jail. Seven of them were convicted of child molestation or dealing in kiddie porn. Clearly, Trump's idiotic pardons of terrorists and animals "put every American in danger", especially kids.

And please, MAGAs, at least pretend you have an original thought sometime. I mean, did they teach you on Fox to parrot "living in your head"?

Some of us think Trump is a clown, a self-serving corrupt, willfully ignorant piece of filth who hates America and hates the US Constitution. Some of us served the US and have a particular fondness for its goals and ideals. Trump is anathema to everything the US can and should be.

I wonder how Trumpers will respond if and when the Democratic President in 2029 bans Fox, OAN, Newsmax and other outlets from the White House? How will Trumpers react when President AOC or Ossoff issues a meme coin, makes $635 million when the folks dumb enough to "invest" in it lose $3.81 billion? How will Trumpers react when yet another new Air Force One comes as a gift to the President from Denmark or Canada or maybe Pakistan....which that Dem POTUS gets to keep for his or her "library" after the term ends? How will Trumpers react when President AOC sells early access to her upcoming Tweets for $100K per month? How will Trumpers react when a landmark at the west end of the National Mall is renamed the AOC-Lincoln Memorial, as a tribute to "your favorite President" and "Greatest President Ever"?

I'd ask you for credible sources for your views, such as actual cases of "the worst criminal the world has ever seen", but I suspect you have none. However if you can come up with examples of immigrants that are worse than Hitler, Stalin, Pol Pot, or even lightweights like Timothy McVeigh or Stephen Paddock, please do enlighten us.

You can try to minimize the danger that Biden allowed to enter the US but that doesn't change the magnitude at all. When I say Trump has exposed the media, I include the conservative networks you mention. The networks Trump banned lied about Biden's health for 4 years and that got away with the lie for so long they thought they could continue unabated and with impunity. They thought wrong.

Plenty of vile people in the world including USA. If you think you can bait me into researching "worst criminals" then you are dumber than I thought. Maybe you think those gang bangers (that Biden allowed to enter USA uncontested) that Trump deported to El Salvadore were model citizens. Those creatures were every bit as bad as the villains you mention. In case you've been living under a rock and missed the video of their deportation a simple Google search will show you multiple sites. Just one look at those vile criminals is sufficient evidence of the "worst criminals" in the world (and Biden allowed them in). Even now woke lefties continue to try to protect these criminals. If that's the kind of "common sense" you believe in, then go pedal it to your lefty friends as I'm sure they will be much more sympatric. I'm not buying of that BS.

Really? I assume you have credible proof that the news media knew about the health issues beyond what was apparent when he was elected (yes, he was legitimately elected) and deliberately lied about his health.

Please do share this proof.

Yes, and they seem to be on this board and in this thread in spades. I mean how can anyone defend a president that ejects accredited reporters from the WH because he doesn't like their reporting? And what's with all the 'commie' and 'communist' banter here? Are those posters still fighting Vietnam in their heads? A bunch of 80 year olds entrenched in Little USA up in Chiang Mai - US flag hanging next to the door? 🤣

Because you saw some videos of people with brown skin and tatoos being deported you conclude they are as bad as Hitler. Is that your idea of common sense?

Also, people have been crossing US borders illegally for as long as the US has had border laws. That even happens under Trump. I assume you are also appalled about Trump letting them in uncontested.

Geez Louise. If you can't handle CNN how are you going to handle Xi Jinping?

How anyone falls for all the admin lies is beyond me...

NBC, ABC, CBS and Fox News, the fourth other networks that make up the White House TV pool, decided they would cease coverage in solidarity with banned CNN.

Networks halt TV pool coverage of Trump after CNN White House ban – live

If you criticise DJ Trump, he considers it to be fake news. If you say things that he does not agree with, again, fake news.

This is not a First Amendment fight. Here is the First Amendment:

"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances."

Access to the White House is not a right. The media has the freedom to publish whatever they want.
