This just backfired on him…
Summary
Adam Mockler analyzes the immediate backfire of Donald Trump’s unconstitutional ban on CNN, MS Now, and Politico, noting that major networks boycotted White House events, leaving the President without audio coverage. The episode highlights Natalie Harp’s role in provoking the ban and her influence over Trump’s erratic social media posts, while also critiquing JD Vance’s defense of the media restrictions. Mockler contrasts these actions with historical precedents, emphasizing the growing solidarity among press organizations in resisting the administration’s attempts to control the narrative.
