It turns out that President Donald Trump may not have thought through all the consequences before he banned some of his most hated news outlets from the White House.

After Trump declared CNN, MS NOW, and Politico “fake news” and exiled them from the White House grounds on Friday, the other networks that make up the White House press pool—including ABC, CBS, NBC, and even Fox News—agreed to boycott their pool duties on Monday in solidarity with the banned outlets.

Lol, will it be a TACO Tuesday?

Trump has made a comment on this situation:

As expected, Fake News CNN, Politico (Pay back the 8 Million Dollar contribution made by the U.S. Government to keep them afloat!), and MSNOW (formerly known as MSDNC!), have brought suit to gain access to the White House, and your President, ME! They have drawn a great Judge, for them, a man who ruled in favor of Jim Acosta, who now seems to have disappeared from the Planet. The Judge’s name is Tim Kelly, and he was, sadly, appointed by “TRUMP.” In other words, almost without question and, as usual, we’ll go for appeal because Fake News people and publications that only write negatively, and who violate our National Security by writing false and defamatory stories with unknown “sources,” shouldn’t be allowed access to the most important Office anywhere in the World. It is called the Oval Office, and it should be treated with Decorum, Respect, and Dignity, not defiled by Third Rate Clowns, who purposefully distort, twist, and degrade with everything they write or publish. Virtually every story about me, or anything having to do with me, is negative, wrong and, in many cases, DANGEROUS for our Country! No matter how GREAT my Achievements, they trivialize and demean. The fact is, I won all seven Swing States, the Popular Vote, the Electoral College (312 to 226), and the Counties throughout America by 86%, and yet it is reported that I get 94% bad publicity. With such a Crooked and Corrupt Press, how did I win in such a LANDSLIDE? It is because the Media has NO credibility, and that is a very bad thing for our Nation! Why should I have to give “access” to such people? Perhaps Judge Kelly could explain that! In any event, I have an obligation to fight for the Success and Safety of our Country. FAKE NEWS IS A THREAT TO DEMOCRACY, and I will do whatever is necessary to make sure that the U.S.A. thrives. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN! President DONALD J. TRUMP

I got to "It is called the Oval Office, and it should be treated with Decorum, Respect, and Dignity, not defiled by Third Rate Clowns" and laughed because he's the biggest circus clown of all.

Women have an amazing capacity for multi-tasking that is truly, truly inspiring. Don't denigrate that.

It looks like English but I don't understand a word of it.

Neither does the average magat. The key difference is that they're impressed by that wall of incoherence.

I doubt that he wrote any of that himself.

I doubt he thought any of that himself.

Oh Donnie, you can't afford Third Rate Clowns anymore... Look around you! The Third Raters jumped ship after the last administration, and most of them have gone pretty quiet or cashed out on your dirty laundry.

The best you have these days are maybe a few Amateur Jesters, definitely no Clowns of Professional Rating.

I have a feeling that the human printer has shown him the disapproval polls recently. If it means I get a week or two of near trump free media then It'll be like christmas again!
