Oh, that’ll hurt. Not.

So what remains of his staff can just get their subscriptions on line or at home. Not gonna change anything, buddy.

Now, start banning their reporters from the few pressers you have, and that’s another show.

And I would expect nothing more from Hannity than to take Trump’s word as gold. He’s the last person I would expect to contest anything Trump said.

What the hell does this even mean? The staff cant bring in their own copies of the Times or the Post, but can bring in other Papers?

Nixon: I want it clearly understood that from now on, ever, no reporter from the Washington Post is ever to be in the White House. Is that clear?

Ziegler: Absolutely.

Nixon: Unless it’s a press conference.

Ziegler: Yes sir. Just the briefing here, but…

Nixon: Never in the White House, no church service, nothing with Mrs. Nixon does, you tell Connie, don’t tell Mrs. Nixon, ’cause she’ll approve it. No reporter from the Washington Post is ever to be in the White House again. And no photographer either. No photographer. Is that clear? None ever to be in. Now that is a total order and if necessary I’ll fire you. You understand?

Ziegler: I do understand.

Nixon: Okay. All right. Good. Thank you.

With this order one can also presumably infer that Don Jr and Eric are finally housebroken. Well done lads!

Be of good cheer. It just demonstrates that he continues to spiral out of control. Headed for a big ouchie at the end.

Wouldn’t that look great in the big headline on the NYT the morning after impeachment… “The Big Ouchie”

It means nothing and nothing will be “terminated.” (It’s “canceled,” Trump, you demented fuck, you “cancel” a subscription.) Half the West Wing couldn’t do their jobs without following the political news. And when he says they’re “probably” going to do a thing it means that drifted into his head and will drift right out again in minutes.

Next report by the criminal in chief, all WH staff have to sign a form saying they will not read anything from the WaPo or NYT. They will be given lie detector tests monthly.
