    First of all: no, Trump does not currently have the Constitutional power to shut down the press. The mainstream media is largely protected by the First amendment, which (in addition to protecting freedom of speech) protects the freedom of the press.
    Dear willful moron on steroids; the White House can hold ZERO press briefings and it is perfectly Constitutional. The White House can select only certain members to be invited and it is perfectly Constitutional.

    The notion that this is a violation of the First Amendment are the scuttlebutt of brain dead morons who have the constitutional knowledge of a lemming. I will make a permanent Forum ban bet to any leftist dumbfuck who wants to bet that CNN will be successful in this idiotic laughably stupid attempt.

    But much like my bet about Trump getting impeached; you brain dead liberal cowards on the left won't take it because all of you know you are completely and utterly full of shit.

    I think the due process is just the president deciding it.

    Well there it is; when beaten down by the facts when you erupt with complete and utter stupidity, move them goalposts and make another complete and utterly stupid claim. This is my definition of the never wending circle of stupidity that liberal morons desperately try to engage in.

    I don't give a shit if TRUMP said it snowflake; there is no Constitutional right to a press pass to the White House. The precedent it would set is not merely dangerous, but moronic. Grow a brain.

    First of all: no, Trump does not currently have the Constitutional power to shut down the press. The mainstream media is largely protected by the First amendment, which (in addition to protecting freedom of speech) protects the freedom of the press.

    Many critics argue that a democracy would cease to exist without a free press, and that as soon as a president is allowed to censor or completely squash a news outlet, the United States would no longer be a democracy.

    Still, that hasn't stopped some Americans from wishing Trump could stop the media. In the poll that was released Tuesday, 43 percent of Republicans believe that Trump "should have the authority to close news outlets engaged in bad behavior," and 36 percent of Republicans disagreed with that.

    What's more, 79 percent of those polled believed that Trump was treated "unfairly" by mainstream media outlets, with another 48 percent agreeing that the news media is "the enemy of the people."

    However, the poll wasn't entirely directed at Republicans, and for that matter, Republicans weren't the only ones feeling some fatigue from mainstream media: in the poll, a third of all Americans believed that the media was the "enemy of the people." Additionally, 25 percent of all Americans agreed that Trump should be have the authority to close news outlets engaged in "bad behavior." What's more, 72 percent of all Americans polled think “it should be easier to sue reporters who knowingly publish false information.”

    The sample for this poll was relatively small, at just under 1,000 Americans, with 326 Republicans, 323 Democrats, and 207 Independents. The survey was taken online by adults from August 3 to August 6.

    It IS incredible that so many on that side are willing to give up precious freedoms because that abomination wants them to do so.

    They are the Germans of 1930's Germany...and refuse to see that they are.
