Maybe AP shouldn’t have treated Trump as just another normal candidate for years. Maybe if they had exercised a little independent journalism to begin with, we wouldn’t be in this mess

Their apathy will ruin what used to be a just nation with decent people.
Dear AP,
Let's agree that SOMEWHERE IN YOUR LOGO you have a picture of the Gulf of Mexico for as long as you can maintain your independence. When it disappears, we'll know you've been taken captive.
I say that we leave them all in their echo chamber and sabotage the hardware. Time for the ‘shadow government’ to be a reality, we can get him a VR room for whatever delusion he wants.
Typical. When he can’t control the narrative he silenced them.. Let’s see. What buddy of his did he learn that from? Putin? Kim Jong Un? Xi? Oh. All of them. Still the alarm bells don’t ring with the cult members.
All reputable news organizations should refuse to attend press briefings until this is resolved. It's not like they consist of anything but continual lying anyway.
Dear AP. This is just the beginning. Your brothers and sisters in the Corporately Owned media are to blame. The free, incessant coverage, willful omissions of crucial data, sanesplaining his rantings and ravings. They are responsible for his reelection & your ouster.
Trump’s just aching to be a target. He’s going to fuck with someone’s livelihood that’s going to snap and want revenge. I thought it would be a Palestinian but it could be anyone at this point. Fuck with jobs and someone’s going to snap.
Everyone should stop reporting from the Oval Office anyway. All the activity is illegal and all the word salad is lies. Journalists could make better use of their time.
For someone who some classify as a “ genius” he sure as hell doesn’t sound like it. Sounds like a teen making up a story for his parents when he got sneaking out. 🙄
Flood Google!
1. Google Gulf of Mexico.
2. it says Gulf of America
3. Click three little dots to the right of it
4. hit "Send Feedback"
5. hit "Gulf Of America"
6. hit "Inaccurate content".
7. hit "Incorrect", then tell them its name: ‘This body of water is the Gulf of Mexico’
8. Repeat task often
It is stunning how petty these people are. And what they don’t understand is while it’s terrifying in its own way, renaming a body of water after 400+ years just makes them laughingstocks to the entire world
I thought he said his government would be transparent? But I guess he is transparent only if you say what he wants you to say. Hmmm. Funny how transparency works with him.
Trump is 5+ decades of arrogance, stupidity, ignorance and blatant racism drowned in all that money he milked from bankers who didn't have the guts to cut him off
And so what happened? I guess the reporter left? And then later tweeted about it? And nothing will happen or become of it? Yeah another day in America.
I wish the press would unite and refuse to air a single briefing from the WH until this gets rectified! You can’t stop a fascist if you are on all 4s begging for more!
I was thinking this very same thing today! As fElon was going on and on and on and on…
Grab the camera guy and walk out, saying we’re out a here.
Stop giving them the damn attention they seek. Nothing they say is news worthy or even interesting. Lies and more lies.
Problem is, where reputable media organizations would take a united stand against Trump, those in disrepute like Fox, Newsmax and OAN, those organizations licking his boots and kissing his ass (or vice versa), would simply fill the gap.
AP and other reputable outlets should fight this in court.
His, uh whatever it is *waves in the general direction of DC* - apparently raises ratings and sells ads. For most of these organizations that is literally all that matters. They are owned by guys just like him. Never rich enough.
I think that's true for the organizations. But I also think some/many journalists enjoy the thrill of engaging with The Actual President and reporting the crazy things he says. That is so much more fun than analysing and researching the legality and effects of these policies
That would stop this BS for sure. If no one shows up to his signing parties, rallies, etc., he would go even more bananas than he already is. MSM still doesn’t het what makes him tick.
Why do you think, AP, that almost all the mainstream media is lining up to kiss his ring (or whatever he designates). He's saying to the press, "you report what I want, when I want it and how I want it reported, or you get no access".
Bring a lawsuit against the White House on behalf of the Free Press and fight... These stupid statements don't mean shit. Litigation or take up arms, that's the only two fucking things we got left.
I'd rather be correct and factual than be a part of the Whitehouse press pool. Everyone knows anything coming out of this admin is bullshit. The Trump admins aim is for it ALL to be bullshit.
That's fine. It's a litmus test and @apnews.com failed on the basis that it has an audience outside the USA. Just don't attend the weekly White House gaslighting ceremonies anymore. They don't serve any purpose, so be like every other decent reporter - report facts and do journalism.
This IS the exact tyranny mentioned in the constitution that they needed their guns for. … crazy thing is the beer drinking gun toting MAGAs are on the tyranny side.
Presidents are supposed to use executive orders sparingly, he’s doing whatever he wants. Congress needs to take it to the courts to stop them. Problem is congress isn’t upholding their oaths. So half of the people supposed to protect us are sycophants and don’t care about oath.
He’s never been otherwise. Waste of a human completely. Zero redeeming qualities aside from being mortal. Fortunately, no amount of money will change that during his lifetime.
This is f***ked up. Real factual news is forced underground. We have already seen the result of half the country getting their news from sources like fox and newsmax.
Yes, we know. It was 49.8% 77.3m American citizens who thought a 6 x bankrupt, rapist, sexual predator, compulsive liar, longterm grifter was the best candidate for the once revered position of POTUS.
AP needs to hire a comedy writer just to sit outside the oval office, making shit up. The more under the orange skin they can get, the funnier it'll be.
I can guarantee anything they write won't be as bat shit as the actual stories going on.
Demented 🍊🤡💩 is upset that professional news organization will not bow to his ludicrous re-naming of a body of water! DT is a petulant, arrogant & ridiculous diaper-wearing tyrant! It’s the Gulf of Mexico; thank you AP for not capitulating to his nonsense! BOO to Google Maps!!
The AP can win by doing what journalists are supposed to do: report the facts, not validate political fantasy. A body of water doesn’t change its name just because someone with a Sharpie says so.
Exactly. But now, instead of being a primary source, they are relegated to reporting from other sources. It directly undermines the most impartial news source. And it’s not accidental.
The press told citizens everything they needed to know to make an informed decision. But the citizens didn’t read the papers, they preferred watching Fox and they lived on Facebook and X. The press did its job. The VOTERS fucked up.
Sad and scary that he is blocking an independent ,respected news agency over this frivolity.What a tender little man baby ego. This is the first of many .And there will be more.
The fourth estate is under siege .
A brain damaged manchild playing at being a leader.
He is no more running this country than I am.
Everyone who inflicted this terror on the world should be wearing a red hat.....we need to see them suffer.
The media played a huge part in ushering in fascism. Like the Venezuelans and the farmers who supported Trump they will find out they are not special. All fascists take out the media first. They're getting what they wanted.
aside from the fact that it can't and won't happen, is there an actual reason no one is talking impeachment? still gun shy from last time? the evidence is already overwhelming and unassailable!
So we all understand that he does not intend on adhering to the US constitution correct? It really is not necessary to keep bringing it up anymore as the Republicans have officially done away with it. The question now is have Americans adopted this new attitude or will they fight for their country?

They got who they wanted.
Trump is a blowhard - not an intellect

There is no surprise here
They normalized trump & wanted him to win
Let them reap what they've sown
But the funny part is
Now ?
Bring the straightjacket.
WHY!!!!

Now the press or reporters who do not fall in line are not allowed in.
It’s not “like” Fascism, it is and we are in it.

Don't cave!
I'm sure you know some good lawyers!
We the People need truthful reporting! Stick with us!
Surprising? No.
AP - moron
I can guarantee anything they write won't be as bat shit as the actual stories going on.
"You’re a very bad man. And you keep thinking bad thoughts about me…You mustn’t think bad thoughts or I’ll do the same thing to you."
1 - AP doesn’t acknowledge this renaming as valid. They are removed from the Oval Office: undermining first hand reporting.
2 - AP acknowledges and validates this renaming: undermining their validity and journalistic integrity.
Heads he wins, tails you lose.
The felon rapist is just a distraction, anyway
The fourth estate is under siege .
He is no more running this country than I am.
Everyone who inflicted this terror on the world should be wearing a red hat.....we need to see them suffer.
“We Told You So! “
Facts half of the country have failed to accept .
Why don't you listen?
The people who
put him back in power are insane.
This clown won't make anything great, ever.
Bury this lawless administration in lawsuits!
DO NOT GIVE IN!
