Saffron that's shocking about Mem Fox. What a horrifying thing to do to such a lovely woman. The US border control should be ashamed of such behaviour.

Just woken up from a nightmare that Donald came to my house saying that he was a social worker and had come to take my children away. It was terrifying.

Not sure of anyone has posted this tweet from the Trump twitter (from 3 hours ago)

Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump 3hrs

FAKE NEWS media knowingly doesn't tell the truth. A great danger to our country. The failing @nytimes has become a joke. Likewise @CNN. Sad!

Hasn't he posted this, or a variation of this, a number of times? SAD!

TheClaws - I keep saying, but this man is an idiot, several sandwiches short of a picnic (and many other adjectives which are not PC); the husband keeps telling me I'm wrong, the man knows exactly what he is doing and is an arch-manipulator.
I saw a huge tirade against him on FB, which I would like to quote if only I could find it.

Re: Mem Fox, does Trump really want to create so many impediments to everyday life that people feel they'd rather not visit the US?

The US president is now banning mainstream media journalists from briefings? Jesus wept. This is a terrifying slippery slope.
When will the republicans wake up and the professional politicians in the US?
And our government distance themselves?
And As PP have said, I dread to think what else this is covering up for, or being used as a distraction against...?

Mrs H just the thought of Donald Trump makes me feel anxious too!

If or when the Orange One comes here for his state visit, rally, tour or whatever you call it... wouldn't it be great if BBC showed a bit of backbone and literally did not cover it.

He bans them, let them ban him from our news channel. Let them do a dismissive 10 second slot on the news with a still photo of him arriving at Heathrow and nothing else. That would be wonderful and would help my blood pressure enormously

In the alternative universe where trump is an arch manipulator, trump wouldn't be trapped in the White House looking like an idiot, he would be manipulating the president from a secret island with the rest of the illuminati.

Morning all. This one made me smile at least.

Associated Press article on 2 hour interrogation of Muhammad Ali's son as he returned to the country on whether he was Muslim or not. US citizen.

Trump claims he saved $1 billion on Air Force One. That's news to the military - Huffington Post article

"But Ryder said the price had not been determined and the new jets have yet to be designed. So it’s unclear what Trump might have been negotiating. "

This development is exactly what I meant about him controlling the media. Before long he will make an executive order limiting the right to demonstrations.

In more flag news, Mike Pence's Twitter account has been live tweeting his speech about Israel using the Nicaraguan flag.🇳🇮🇮🇱

An interesting Vox article - what is the future of news? Bleak, probably

(Brooke Binkowski, Managing director of Snopes and former CNN journalist; says it's the slow result of journalism being funded less. She thinks constantly pushing out real news would help, and seems a little less bleak than the journalist tbh.)

Surely "constantly pushing out real news" must be the only way to go - and should real news include the megalomaniac psychopath's idiotic words? If he's not given the breath of publicity, he'll have another temper tantrum and show himself up again. As many people are saying on FB, why is Congress not uniting to stop this crap? This is above sides, left or right, Republican or Democrat, it is about human rights.
And breathe.

Golfer Rory McIlroy defending himself on twitter after golfing with Trump last week: some people replying criticising that he's being naive and is being used to legitimise and make Trump look good. Others shouting 'snowflake' etc.

“The president asked for an intelligence assessment,” the official said. “This is not the intelligence assessment the president asked for.”

FoxNews - Trump rejects DHS intelligence report on travel ban

He may ban outlets from his briefings but he can't ban people from reading papers, watching TV and using the internet.

"The more he talks, the more they will leak."

Politico - why the leaks won't stop

I may have watched too many episodes of The West Wing, but aren't the WH obliged to produce what's known as "the tick-tock" which is a minute by minute account of the President's day, every day. My understanding is that the Press can request copies of said sheet.

Wouldn't it be interesting if the Press starting requesting them on a daily basis and publishing them, if they're not going to be allowed access to the press conferences it'll give them something to publish. Would be interesting to see how much time he's actually spending on, y'know, governing

BBC statement

I would love to know how he defines FAKE news.

Is it
a) Fake news
b) News he doesn't like

9.30 The President met with business leaders.

OR

9.30 The President met with business leaders. It's what he said he'd do, he's making America great again, wow.

It's impossible for Sean Spicer to say what the Presidents engagements without adding spin.

Never heard of that CaveMum, is that really a thing? (Sounds a bit dubious in terms of security and predicting everything?)

Trump: "They have no sources, hey just make em up where there are none" 😂 ...erm shall we look at how you believe you had the biggest majority ever?!
