The road toward totalitarianism that Donald Trump has taken since he was reelected last November is becoming ever more clear with each day of his reoccupation of the White House. Despite being reprimanded and constrained by judicial injunctions, Trump continues to ignore the courts and forge his own unlawful path to satisfy his autocratic cravings.<\/p>\n

Earlier this year, Trump acted out his aspirational dreams of being America’s first dictator by banning the Associated Press from presidential events because they refused to obey his petty and unconstitutional demand to refer to the Gulf of Mexico as the Gulf of America. It was a blatant violation of the First Amendment’s protection of the free press.<\/p>\n

Undaunted by the principles of press freedom and the rule of law, Trump has now defied a court ruling<\/a><\/strong> to allow the AP into his media avails. According to Mediaite…<\/p>\n

“Despite a recent injunction reinstating access, an AP spokesperson confirmed their journalists were denied access to an Oval Office press event on Monday. ‘Our journalists were blocked from the Oval Office today. We expect the White House to restore AP\u2019s participation in the pool as of today, as provided in the injunction order.’\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The AP is being extraordinarily na\u00efve if they really expect Trump to comply with the law. He has already demonstrated his disrespect for law and order by refusing to comply with a judge’s ruling<\/a><\/strong> to facilitate the return of a Maryland father that Trump’s immigration regime unlawfully sent to a gulag in El Salvador.<\/p>\n

As a result of Trump’s efforts to banish credible journalists from the White House press pool, we are seeing more questions like the one that Trump received on Monday about his recent physical examination. Brian Glenn, a “reporter”<\/em><\/a><\/strong> from the rabidly right-wing MAGA outlet, Real America’s Voice (and Marjorie Taylor Greene’s boyfriend), raised the subject with an adoring preface and a sickly sycophantic slant in the following exchange…<\/p>\n

Reporter:<\/strong> You got a perfect health report. Everybody in the press wants to know this. How do you do it Mr President? … How do you stay so healthy? … How in the world do you do it? I’m 55 years old and I can’t keep up with you.
\nTrump:<\/strong> Because I enjoy what I’m doing […] Thank you. That\u2019s a nice question. I like this guy!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Q: You got a perfect health report. Everybody in the press wants to know this — how do you do it Mr President? How do you stay so healthy?TRUMP: Because I love what I'm doing<\/p>\n
