Broadcasters mute Trump in protest
5m
Major U.S. broadcasters, including Fox News, went silent on air to protest the White House’s decision to bar certain reporters, leaving President Trump without televised audio.

The solidarity of the media in response to Trump reveals a fundamental truth: The most successful way to respond to a megalomaniac like him is to unite against him.
It's also apparently, at least in this instance, one of the better ways to silence his bloviating.

LMFAO -- Trump is holding an event at the White House right now but there's no audio because the press pool isn't there. The Newsmax host notes that this is an example of Trump's attacks on the press "backfiring just a little bit"

Pathetic US president. SHAME.
First, Trump banned independent news from the White House.
Now, he's launching what is quite literally state-run TV to try drowning out the fact that he and his corrupt administration are failing the American people.
This is truly autocratic behavior from a failed President.

After Years as the Star of Must-See TV, Trump Faces the Sting of Cancellation
A boycott of the White House press pool by the major networks deprives the president of the oxygen of screen time. But he is still finding ways to get on the air [yeah, the leftist idiot Mamdani]

The press is his megaphone.

a little too on the nose that you "can't hear what the president is saying" unless the major media outlets give him a microphone

The White House reporters showed more character today than leftist @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social, who crossed their picket line by holding a joint press conference with Trump this afternoon.
Trump shows off his taxpayer-funded helipad but cannot be heard because the White House reporters are boycotting his "ban on the free press"

Big update: Trump is furious. The media is standing up to him united. His press conferences have no sound. CNN/Politico/MS Now are suing him and get a good judge.
So what does he do? He launches "Trump TV" -- Your taxpayer funded TV network. More on his meeting with Mamdani and the other news:

This is the best possible representation of the current state of the Trump Adminnistration. Lashing out from weakness, which just makes him weaker. It's a low energy doom loop

It’s not just big complicated things like foreign wars that aren’t properly thought through.
