"Report nice or they will replace you or not get you to follow the President you won't be able to file reports and you won't be kept by your employer" That is what Trump hold against those reporters. For Instance Trump said the head of Treasure is real bad man and don't know how Biden Could have appointed (they get nominated not appointed). But no one dares to correct the President and say but Mr. President you nominated him and song his praises. So people who don't follow the news say he should fire this guy appointed by Biden. They also would not know the impact in making the Treasure or Feds subservient of a President particular one with Dementia. The Committee of the Feds already warn that the credit score of the US will be lower and the interest rates will go out of wack. Recession will be the probable result plus no trusts in the US markets. Adam Gonzalez

The White House said on Monday that it had barred Wall Street Journal reporters from the traveling press pool for President Trump’s coming trip to Scotland, attacking the publication again for its reporting on ties between the president and the convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
On Thursday, The Journal published an article saying that Mr. Trump had sent Mr. Epstein a lewd birthday note in 2003. It included a drawing of a nude woman, The Journal reported, and ended with Mr. Trump writing, “Happy Birthday — and may every day be another wonderful secret.”
Mr. Trump said that the drawing and letter were fake and put intense pressure on The Journal not to publish the article. The day after its publication, he sued The Journal’s publisher, Dow Jones; its parent company, News Corp; Robert Thomson, the chief executive of News Corp; Rupert Murdoch, whose family controls News Corp; and two Journal reporters.
“Thirteen diverse outlets will participate in the press pool to cover the President’s trip to Scotland,” Karoline Leavitt, the White House press secretary, said in a statement on Monday. “Due to The Wall Street Journal’s fake and defamatory conduct, they will not be one of the 13 outlets on board.”
A Wall Street Journal spokeswoman declined to comment. Last week, Dow Jones defended its reporting in a statement: “We have full confidence in the rigor and accuracy of our reporting, and will vigorously defend against any lawsuit.”
The White House Correspondents’ Association denounced the barring of The Journal from the press pool, saying in a statement on Monday, “This attempt by the White House to punish a media outlet whose coverage it does not like is deeply troubling, and it defies the First Amendment.”
The press pool is a group of journalists from various outlets who travel with the president and act as the eyes and ears of the broader White House press corps. The Trump administration has exerted considerable pressure on the press pool, including taking over the role of deciding which publications could participate in the pool from the Correspondents’ Association.
The White House had previously barred The Associated Press from the press pool because it did not abide by Mr. Trump’s name change of the Gulf of Mexico.
