“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 (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!), from the White House as a result of their constant ‘reporting’ FAKE NEWS!” Trump’s Truth Social post reads.

“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. Other Fake News Media Outlets to follow,” Trump added. “Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DONALD J. TRUMP.”

Trump previously attempted to bar the Associated Press from certain White House events and presidential travel in February of 2025. Trump made the decision after the AP continued to use “Gulf of Mexico” in their reporting rather than the renamed “Gulf of America.” (RELATED: White House Launches ‘Media Offender Of The Week’ Website Targeting ‘Fake News’)

The AP sued the administration on First Amendment grounds, arguing it had been punished for its editorial viewpoint. A federal judge ordered the administration to reinstate the AP’s White House access in April of 2025.

Trump appealed the decision, which allowed the initial restriction to remain in place while the litigation continued.
