I wouldn't call it horrible, but is embarrassing. It once again makes Donald Trump look childish and petty. He needs to act more presidential.
I don't see why it's not horrible. Why would you restrict who you give info to?

They are intentionally building the strength of the right wing media by giving them increased access. Its a very fascist tactic.

CNN, NYT, Politico, LA Times, Buzzfeed, the BBC and others were barred from attending.

Breitbart News, The Washington Times, OANN, ABC, CBS, NBC, WSJ, Bloomberg, and Fox News were allowed in.

The AP and TIME boycotted the press conference.


More outrageous actions from the Trump administration. Are they seeing what they can get away with? Really bad PR continues, they obviously don't care about uniting the American people against common causes... Just pushing the agenda they care about in which a minority of people agree with.

Well, most of those so called news outlets are propagandists for the democrats. They continue to publish fake news. Until they get their act together they will continue to be treated like fake journals.

I'm being completely serious: can you show me an example of "fake news" from one of those outlets? Because fake news is a website with completely fraudulent articles, no actual reporting, and a specific intent to deceive.

Nome of the outlets restricted by the WH are fake news. In fact, a website like Gateway Pundit (that has posted dozens of fake news articles, highly inaccurate reports, exaggerated claims, etc) DOES actually meet the definition of fake news, and the Trump WH gave them a press pass because they provide favorable coverage.

This is solely about whether or not coverage is critical of Trump and his White House. If it is, he calls it fake news. If it completely makes up false reports he has no issue with it as long as it portrays him in a positive light.

I'm sure you would've been okay with the previous administration barring Fox because it's "propagandist" for the Republicans, right?
No, probably not. It's different in this case, perhaps because the political opponents are trying to frame the President in a bad light? That's not fair! Fake news!

"The media has not reported that the National Debt in my first month went down by $12 billion vs a $200 billion increase in Obama first mo."

Shutting out the media is not the answer. It creates suspicion for one. For another, it's bullying. He doesn't like certain media outlets. We get it. He beats that dead horse every single day. But he owes the media in my view for propelling him to the highest office in the land. Had it not been for the media shoving him in our faces every single day during the primary, his messaging wouldn't have gotten near the attention it did. I'm sure most in the media had a different goal in mind by the constant free advertising they gave him, but at the end of the day... they are partly responsible for this man being elected. He should send them all 'thank you' cards. Are some in the media corrupt? Do some try to sway voters by angling their stories in a certain light? Yes. But that goes on BOTH sides. This is a dangerous slope to slide down when a president starts shutting out media lest 'he' approves of their stories. Surely, you agree. Surely. Let's forget for a minute 'who' is doing it and look at the facts for what they are. Unfortunately, a lot of Trump supporters will turn a blind eye to everything single thing he does. And that is dangerous as well. Truly.

PREACH!!!!!!!!!! I agree the media propelled him to legitimacy, although I have to credit his campaign for building a brilliant coalition of voters. That, combined with lackluster Hillary as the anointed Democratic nominee, spelled a Trumptastic win. It just shows how disgusted voters are with politicians that people were like, aw heck yeah, just give DONALD TRUMP a chance.

It's hard to lower debt, as Mr. Trump has promised, when you don't reform/reduce/eliminate entitlements (when they account for nearly half, if not more of the federal budget). Will be interested in hearing about his tax reforms as well tomorrow. At least that is a start....

U.S. President Donald Trump's first budget proposal will spare big social welfare programs such as Social Security and Medicare from any cuts, Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin said in an interview broadcast on Sunday.

Well when the bill comes in next month for the expense to the government of security costs on Trumps weekly golf vacations to Florida... Melania and son's addtional security expenses for living in Trump Towers instead of the WH... and the additional expenses for security for Trump's boys trips to places like Dubai and Uruguay, that drop in the debt will be taken care of.

My point was, there is no drop in the debt anyway.
