The useful part

In a post on Truth social, Trump said that the two outlets did not cover the arrival of Xi Jinping and his wife, Madam Peng, at the White House, despite calling it a major event. The event was magnificent — Actually made for Television but, because they're Fake News, and because they knew how good it would be, they didn't want credit to be given to "TRUMP," they refused to be there. Tonight's State Dinner at the White House, for President Xi, will be spectacular!

What to take from it

They only write badly about a man who won the Election IN A GIANT LANDSLIDE, winning all 7 Swing States, the Popular Vote, and 86% of the Counties, etc., and whose Popularity has grown because of the unprecedented SUCCESS our Country is having on both the World Stage, and at home," Trump said. US President Donald Trump announced the ban on the three outlets in a social media post on Friday, writing that he was banning the media outlets for reporting "fake news." Trump announced the move in a post on Truth Social, saying the ban was effective immediately. Later, the three outlets filed a lawsuit against the Trump administration, saying that they were pursuing legal action to "defend the principle that the government does not decide what the press reports".
