Trump's White House Press Ban Backfires, Hurting All Sides

letemps.ch (French) —

President Donald Trump has banned CNN, MSNBC, and Politico from the White House, escalating his conflict with the press and drawing criticism over an alleged authoritarian drift. The move follows Trump's inability to tolerate dissenting views, with former President Barack Obama noting such an action against Fox News would have been unthinkable. The ban has prompted solidarity boycotts from other media outlets. Critics argue the exclusion yields no benefit for the administration, while threats like cutting trade with the European Union have drawn little reaction, reflecting a broader desensitization to Trump's provocations.
