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?

    and even Fox News

    WHAT!?

    Aidan McLaughlin, the Washington correspondent for Vanity Fair, suggested on social media that, at the rate things are going, a lawsuit may not even have been necessary.

    “He’s gonna lift the ban by the end of the week,” he predicted.

    Yeah, this guy doesn’t work that way. That’s too rational of a thought process.

    E: they just introduced “Trump TV”, I was right again 🤣😭

      With the announcement of Trump TV, this ban was just a cover to legitimize state run media.

      Fox News knows the long con. You start banning outlets that don’t say nice things they get booted when dems take control.

      Or even if they say things that don’t slobber Trump enough.
