It turns out that President Donald Trump may not have thought through all the consequences before he banned some of his most hated news outlets from the White House.

After Trump declared CNN, MS NOW, and Politico “fake news” and exiled them from the White House grounds on Friday, the other networks that make up the White House press pool—including ABC, CBS, NBC, and even Fox News—agreed to boycott their pool duties on Monday in solidarity with the banned outlets.


Lol, will it be a TACO Tuesday?

      The president’s voice could be heard faintly. But his words were inaudible over the whir of a helicopter parked nearby.

      “There’s no microphone because the pool cameras aren’t there,” explained Bianca de la Garza, who was covering the event for the Trump-friendly outlet Newsmax.

      The anchor said this was maybe “one example” of the president’s attack on the media “backfiring just a little bit.”

      Oh they tried

    It is called the Oval Office, and it should be treated with Decorum, Respect, and Dignity, not defiled by Third Rate Clowns

    Well, what the fuck is he doing there, in that case?!

        People always come up to me, with tears in their eyes, and they say, ‘Sir, nobody has smaller, more beautiful hands than you.’ And it’s true! They are magnificent, perfectly proportioned, truly world-class hands - the fake news likes to exaggerate, but everybody knows my fingers are absolute perfection! And you know, when you’re a star, they just let you do it. You can do anything. You can grab ’em by the pussy with these little hands - and let me tell you, nobody grabs better than me, okay? Nobody!

    This is what hits most his pride

    Not when he’s “slammed” by some article.

    Not when he’s “bashed” on another article.

    When his voice is silenced, that’s when his narcissism hits the most.

    Anyway, nothing of value was lost if the world didn’t hear his ramblings today. Maybe the world was more productive today.

    The trump presidency is like getting fitted for glasses. Every time people fail to see how stupid he and the right wing ideology he embodies is, he adjusts the strength of the lenses. How blind do you have to be not to see it yet? Stick around, he’ll do something dumber in a moment!
