On Saturday, reporters from CNN, MSNL and political, showed up at the White House for work, only to have the Secret Service take their credentials away. They are not allowed in the White House by order of the president, which everyone knows is an attack on freedom of the press. But Trump sees it differently. He said, it's a very simple ban. I don't want them in my office. I don't want them here. They hurt his feelings, and so they're not welcome in his house anymore. It's sick. I mean, there's something wrong with a country that can allow people to write purposely negative shares. Now, if they want to write them, that's fine, but I don't have to let them into the people's house. He almost slipped and told the truth there.
