President Trump is sick and tired of dealing with the habitual lies and nonsense of the American corporate media complex, as he cracked down with a vengeance and declared that he is banning those who lie about his administration from covering the administration at the White House. So, on his orders, they are being banned from the Executive Mansion complex.
Such is what he announced in an anger-filled post on Truth Social on Friday, September 18, in the mid-afternoon, going over the litany of issues at CNN, the network formerly known as MSNBC, and others, even accusing one of the networks–Politico–of corruption in how it has dealt with the government in the past, referencing a ridiculous subscription discovered by the Department of Government Efficiency.
Beginning the post, the president announced that three media outlets are being banned right now, declaring, “I am proud to announce that, effective immediately, I am banning Fake News CNN, MSNOW (who recently changed their name from MSNBC due to lack of viewership and credibility!), and Politico” from the White House.
Changing tacks with a digression before getting to his announcement about their banning, he highlighted the ridiculous sum the government had formerly been paying Politico for subscriptions, until it was cut off by DOGE, saying that Politico was “The recipients of an illegal and ridiculous $8 Million Dollar subscription, an All Time Record, directly from the United States Government, under Crooked Joe Biden, in order to keep them “alive.” Seems like corruption to me!”
Continuing from there, he went on to note that their banning “from the White House” is coming “as a result of their constant ‘reporting’ FAKE NEWS!” Though he did not elaborate on what fake news stories in particular he had in mind, the president has been very critical of how they have covered the Iran war and strikes on the drug cartels, amongst other matters.
He then said, justifying the idea of banning them from the White House, “Media Outlets shouldn’t be able to constantly write or report FICTION and LIES when they’re covering the President of the United States, the Trump Administration, or the United States of America.” And, concluding, he added, “Other Fake News Media Outlets to follow. Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DONALD J. TRUMP”
The post came shortly after another in which he sounded off on CNN and its antics, writing, “Unwatchable and Failing CNN is so dishonest. Everything they say is slanted against the Republican Party. They are truly FAKE NEWS! Thankfully, very few people are watching!”

Additionally, in a post earlier in September, the president went on the warpath against CNN reporter Kaitlin Collins, saying, “Very dumb and unhappy Fake News CNN “reporter,” Kaitlan Collins (really low ratings, also!), had a panel where discussions were all FICTION AND LIES. You would think that CNN, which is suffering terribly in the TV Ratings, would get rid of their 3rd rate “anchors,” and try to bring credibility back to their once storied network. It is fading FAST!”
