BREAKING: Trump throws a furious Truth Social tantrum over CNN “REFUSING” to cover Xi’s White House arrival – after HE BANNED THEM FROM THE WHITE HOUSE!
This afternoon, Donald Trump felt the need to complain about CNN. But first, he needed to remind everyone of a few things that we may have possibly forgotten.
He won the election in a “GIANT LANDSLIDE.” He won all seven swing states. He won the popular vote. He won 86 percent of the counties. His popularity has grown. America is enjoying “unprecedented SUCCESS.” And CNN's ratings are terrible because CNN keeps writing “badly” about him.
Having gotten all of that off his chest, Trump finally arrived at his grievance: CNN had “refused to cover” Chinese President Xi Jinping's arrival at the White House because the ceremony was so “magnificent” that CNN couldn't bear to give “TRUMP” the credit.
There was just one rather large hole in Trump's story: CNN had spent the morning TRYING to get into the White House and failing.
After a federal judge ordered the administration to restore access to CNN, MS NOW and POLITIC, CNN’s Betsy Klein made repeated attempts.
She and other journalists were initially turned away, and CNN reported that its request to cover Xi's arrival had been denied by the White House. The five major television networks also withheld their shared pool camera in solidarity with CNN.
The three outlets were finally allowed back onto White House grounds around midday. So by 3:50 p.m., Trump was furiously accusing CNN of refusing to attend an event that his own White House had refused to let CNN attend.
And just to make sure everyone knew who had written this presidential communiqué, he signed it:
“President DONALD J. TRUMP
Yes, we know who you are, and you embarrass us.
If Trump embarrasses you too, like and share this post.
BREAKING: In a stunning announcement, Decision Desk has moved David Jolly's run for Governor in Florida to "toss-up" as Byron Donalds continues to sink like a rock in the polls. If you can't wait to turn Florida blue, share this everywhere. Let's make it happen.
BREAKING: Senate Democrats just introduced a bill that will give every American the right to sue Trump and his family, including Jared Kushner, to recover funds obtained through corruption. Every person who wins gets 10% of the money, which could be millions of dollars
BREAKING: A top GOP official was recorded ranting on a hot mic, "Don Jr. couldn't pay for his own wedding without getting Russian oligarchs involved? After all the crypto grifts, how is the Trump family still so cheap? And why does everything they do somehow involve Russians?!"
🚨BREAKING: Federal court REJECTS lawsuit seeking to compel Washington State to provide the DOJ with access to its complete statewide voter registration database. Another victory for Elias Law Group and its clients.
DOJ is 0-25. ELG is undefeated. https://t.co/qfA4NFLJtT
BREAKING: In a stunning moment, Fox News just admitted that Donald Trump's minuscule approval rating is causing Republicans to be on defense all across the country. This is amazing.
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?
UN Amb. Mike Waltz: "When we have outlets that are relying on anonymous sources and talking about the levels of ammunition we have in the middle of conflict…"
But that with respect to munitions, that was in the inspector general's report from the Pentagon talking about shortages?
Bryan Boughton, who runs the Fox News Washington bureau and is the current TV pool chair, says in an email; ”This is to advise that, effective today, the TV pool will not be covering events designated as pool coverage of the President.”
“This follows the White House’s position preventing CNN from fulfilling its assigned pool duties. There will be no replacement pool put in place.” Via @brianstelter
Remember when Donald Trump took out a full page in the New York Times demanding the death penalty for five innocent Black young men because he intuitively knew they had raped a woman in Central Park when they were INNOCENT?
Remember how wrong he was about that?
Please never forget that every time he tells you he knows better than the generals, he knows better than the doctors, he knows better than the teachers, and he knows better than the scientists.
Of this I am certain, more certain everyday,we are tossing this criminal administration out soon and erasing all marks of their vanity.
Trump's time is ending soon and he can sense it.
He can take his Qatar jet and fly back to Russia. We keep the rest.
BREAKING: @CAGovernor Gavin Newsom just signed a bill (#SB1354) that would prohibit other state militaries from entering California without the Governor’s explicit permission.
This new law closes a legal loophole where other states could have deployed their military under Title 32 — even at the President’s suggestion.
This comes as the National Guard has been politicized over the last year — first in Los Angeles by President Trump.
A senior Department of Justice (DOJ) official warned federal prosecutors that they could be fired if they refused to pursue voter fraud cases brought to them by the FBI or Department of Homeland Security (DHS), according to an MS NOW report. https://t.co/CBYvwXxx7M
