CNN is free to make stories of all of the other journalists in the meeting. They can take photos from outside the doors and then cry about for a week lmao.

 

Attending a whitehouse conference doesn’t have anything to do with freedom of the press as law and banning an organization from meetings doesn’t make the country any less free. What law did Trump break by doing this? He doesn’t have to have press meetings at all if he doesn’t want to. Your claim is out there is all I’m saying. 

Whether or not it's against the law isn't really the point. If it was against the law, then I would like to think something would be done about it. Trump handles situations by banning, firing, or replacing people that disagree with him.

I'm not big into politics myself, but it worries me to see a president that is incapable of admitting when he is wrong. If something doesn't work out, Trump always points a finger, and never takes responsibility for his actions. He would go so far as to take credit for something that wasn't his doing, and the only thing he seems to care about is his position of power.

I think Trump thrives on making people upset with him. Many of his tweets seem to instigate and provoke. Trump is an old man, and perhaps he is bored with life, and to him, it's exciting to stir the pot at the expense of the American people. I truly believe that Trump wants to be the "bad guy".

It is the point to his point. Infringing on freedoms is illegal and he’s not American so I explained it. Freedom of speech, freedom of the press, freedom of religion, freedom of assembly and association. These freedoms are protected from government persecution. We are not any less free because some asshole at CNN got the boot. Why would he have people in his cabinet that don’t agree with his agenda? Why would he keep Obama’s holdovers? You are criticizing him for something every president does. They put people in place that advance their agenda.

 

You are fine to think that way but it doesn’t really have anything to do with what I said. He just admitted he was wrong with the tariffs and I’m happy he changed his mind.

 

The people he makes angry are already angry. Most of them are pathetic and don’t have a sense of humor. He does purposely agitate though, no disagreement from me. Let’s not pretend he’s the only one throwing spit balls though. No president in our history has ever been treated like Donald trump, I don’t blame him for defending himself.
