From the day he descended the “golden escalator” and announced his presidential campaign in 2015, Donald Trump has been the victim of negative media coverage. Before announcing his presidential bid and revealing his positions on issues such as border security and illegal immigration, media outlets loved Donald Trump as a celebrity. He regularly received glowing media profiles and appeared on magazine covers.
However, once he became a “conservative” politician and started the “Make America Great Again” (MAGA) movement, Trump became the media’s number one enemy. For example, in the first 100 days of Trump’s second term, the mainstream media coverage of President Trump was 92% negative. In contrast, these so-called “objective” media outlets gave President Joe Biden 59% positive coverage during his first 100 days.
After suffering through years of this abusive media coverage, President Trump decided to strike back against his left-wing antagonists. On Friday, the President posted on Truth Social: “I am proud to announce that, effective immediately, I am banning Fake News CNN, MSNOW (who recently changed their name from MSNBC due to lack of viewership and credibility!), and Politico…from the White House.”
