There are no microphones because he kicked out the press pool!
Crazy how when you violate the 1st amendment, free speech, it backfires on you and now no one can hear your speech!
Supporting free speech means supporting speech, even speech you don’t like.
BREAKING: BRAVO! The New York Times announces it will NOT publish or distribute ANY photos from the White House pool today in protest of Trump's assault on free speech.
This fight has spiraled totally out of control for Donnie...
“The New York Times will not publish or distribute any images taken as part of the White House still photography pool today, in conjunction with the other members of that pool and in a show of support for the news organizations being unfairly targeted by the president’s barring of journalists from the White House," New York Times spokesperson Charlie Stadtlander stated.
"We remain committed to covering the president’s travel to New York City today. Americans deserve a free and independent media covering their government without intimidation, as well as comprehensive coverage of newsworthy events," he added.
The Washington Post released a similar statement—
“The Washington Post will not publish any photographs of today’s presidential events — including Trump’s departure from the White House and his events at the United Nations in New York — until midnight Eastern Time, joining a collective effort with photographers in other newsrooms covering the White House in a show of support of the banned outlets," said Post spokesperson Olivia Petersen.
These new announcements come after major news outlets including CBS News, ABC News, CNN, Fox News, and NBC News suspended press pool coverage of Trump over his decision last Friday to ban CNN, Politico, and MS NOW from the White House over their alleged "fake news" stories. That collective pushback resulted in a particularly embarrassing incident for Trump, because there was no audio for his big White House helipad ribbon cutting ceremony today.
With an even bigger week ahead as the United Nations convene in New York, Trump is going to be feeling the burn from his authoritarian power grab. He's drunk with his own power and in obvious cognitive decline, which is why he thought that he could shred the First Amendment without consequence. Thankfully, the media is fighting back — and winning bigly.
Please ❤️ and share to thank the Times and Post!
At this point, X is the news…
Forget CNN, MSNBC, Politico, Fox… half the time everybody’s already seen the story on X before those guys even get around to talking about it.
Elon needs to just hire Nick Shirley, give him a desk, and start an X nightly news show. 😂
Hell, we’re already getting our news here anyway.

Why does a world with so much wealth still struggle to find enough outrage for those with nothing?

.@VP: "I've heard a lot of people say that we've 'banned Politico.' Politico will still write their crazy articles; they will still misrepresent what we say and do. What's different is that they don't have an office in the White House anymore... It's not a ban. It's the refusal to grant special access to people who are engaged in dishonest reporting."
JUST IN: CNN, MS NOW and Politico are suing the Trump administration over being denied White House access.
“This morning, we notified the government that we are filing a lawsuit today to protect our First Amendment rights and defend the principle that the government does not decide what the press reports or publishes.” The three outlets announced it in a joint statement on Twitter
The White House TV pool—major networks that share coverage of the president—won’t cover President Donald Trump on Monday in solidarity with CNN, MS NOW and Politico, which sued the Trump administration.

President Trump is now invoking national security in respect to his press ban, which he didn't do Friday, Saturday or Sunday. How is reporting on the president a national security threat?

But that with respect to munitions, that was in the inspector general's report from the Pentagon talking about shortages?

ABC, CBS, NBC and Fox News have joined CNN in suspending pool coverage of Trump after he banned CNN from the White House.
“The public has a vital interest in receiving accurate, independent information about its government,” the networks said in a joint statement. “No administration should restrict a news organization because it objects to its reporting.” https://t.co/5iM7ID8902
🔥 LMAO! President Trump CLOWNED on the legacy media for STILL coming out to cover him despite saying they were going to boycott him alongside CNN and MS NOW
