The MAGA Autobahn to American fascism that Donald Trump has been speeding down has just seen him passing a significant landmark. The Trump regime has long been open about its hostility toward the free press and the Constitution that protects it. And Trump has frequently maligned the media in Stalinist terms as “the enemy of the people.”

However, on Friday morning Trump cemented his legacy as a censorious tyrant on a mission to control what the media is allowed to report, and what the American people are allowed to know. It’s a giant leap backwards in the freedoms that have been a cherished part of America for 250 years. And although Trump’s latest atrocity is extraordinarily grotesque, it isn’t exactly anything new coming from Trump.

Obsessed as he is with his public image, Trump was once again ignoring the critical issues facing the nation – i.e. endless war, rising inflation, environmental catastrophe, crumbling democracy, etc. – in order to address his wounded ego. Something must have triggered the feeble pResident, which led him to post the following comment on his dedicated propaganda platform, 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 as a result of their constant ‘reporting’ FAKE NEWS! Media Outlets shouldn’t be able to constantly write or report FICTION and LIES when they’re covering the President of the United States…Other Fake News Media Outlets to follow.”

This is the latest example of Trump’s determination to emulate his heroes, Vladimir Putin of Russia, and Kim Jong Un of North Korea. He believes that he can unilaterally declare which media outlets are permitted to cover his occupation of the White House. He previously banned the Associated Press, but that ban is being contested in the courts. And it hasn’t stopped the AP from reporting on him and criminal activities.

Meanwhile, Trump has nothing to say about the real fake news that props him up like the messiah of the MAGA cult, which is what they believe him to be. So Fox News, Newsmax, One America News, Breitbart, etc. remain in good standing in his White House press room.

If Trump thinks that this ban will stop the press from covering him, he will be sorely disappointed. What’s more, he will face certain backlash from the public that relies on a free press to stay informed. There will also be some backlash from the media, although not nearly enough. If they acted with integrity as group they all all boycott Trump until these bans are revoked.

Whatever set Trump off this morning is not yet known. But it will likely be revealed soon. He was clearly in a bad mood. A couple of hours prior to this comment he posted one that was equally disturbing, if not as explicit…

Why is Trump bothering to post about CNN if it is so "Unwatchable and Failing"? He's been saying that for years, but it's still there.And his claim that "very few people are watching," is negated by the fact that he is obviously one of them. ?

The only thing that Trump is accomplishing with this is that he is confirming that he doesn’t give a damn about freedom, or the people, or democracy, or America. The only thing he cares about is himself and shielding his massive yet fragile ego from the truth. That’s how malignant narcissists behave. And it’s why they should never be given power.

Furthermore, it just gets worse under pressure. Which is what Trump is experiencing now with the approaching midterm elections that are predicted to bring a Blue Tsunami, wiping out much of the Republican Congress, and making Trump the lamest of ducks for the two years remaining of his term. In short, he’s scared and desperate.
