Designing an Arc-de-Trump with a snipers' nest?

Trying to ban reporters from the White House?

Refusing to say how many Americans have died in his wars?

It's so painfully clear that Trump has lost his mind.

Has Donald Trump Finally Lost It?

Donald Trump’s mental decline has gotten worse.Why is the media only barely starting to report on it?And why won’t they

Back online this morning and here is another update that was posted late last night. Fox News reporter Bill Melugin got Trump himself on the phone late last night to confirm that this policy, whatever it was (they’re calling it a miscommunication), was going to be overturned.

Bill Melugin @BillMelugin• 9h
I've spoken on the phone with President Trump and nine ICE & DHS sources about this today. Here's what l've learned.
Yes, this verbal guidance did go out to ICE offices across the country last night. I've spoken with ICE agents who received it & were shocked & frustrated by it. It's unclear who it started with. However, I'm told it's erroneous, was some type of
"miscommunication" during conversations about prioritizing "worst first", and there is no change in immigration enforcement policy.

President Trump tells me anyone in the country illegally remains "on the table" for ICE arrest & deportation. I'm also told new guidance went out to ICE field offices tonight to reaffirm this and that yes, arrests of illegal aliens and "collaterals" without additional criminal history will continue. ICE sources confirm to me they received the new guidance.
I'm not really sure what happened here - but everyone is on the same page, including President Trump, in telling me that his immigration enforcement agenda isn't scaling back.

I regret to inform you that the brief period of bravery from the press was very brief indeed.

The New York Times @nytimes.com · 1d

The major networks are set to resume their collective television coverage of President Trump on Sunday, even though the White House blocked CNN from participating in the TV pool over the weekend, according to people briefed on the deliberations.

TV Networks to Resume Trump Coverage, Even as White House Excludes CNN

The White House TV pool went dark this past week amid a standoff between CNN and the president. Network leaders, however, believe an indefinite suspension may be untenable.
