Trump Just Floated The Idea Of Jailing Reporters Over Leaks

Just days after Donald Trump was forced to lift his White House ban on CNN, MS NOW, and POLITICO, the president is now floating the notion of jailing reporters over leaks.

On September 18, Trump announced that he was banning the trio of media outlets for "their constant 'reporting' of FAKE NEWS!" All three outlets sued, and a 14-day temporary restraining order against the ban was implemented by Trump-appointed Judge Timothy Kelly, which ordered the outlets' access to be restored.

Despite that TRO, the president continues to target CNN specifically, with the outlet being removed from the press pool traveling with Trump during his trips to Texas and Oklahoma.

Following a rally for Ken Paxton in Texas, Trump spoke from the tarmac in Dallas, where a reporter confronted him: "You've been critical of CNN and other media outlets for their coverage."

Before the reporter could even finish their sentence, Trump interjected, "They're terrible!"

"What do you feel about those who feel like you’re doing too much with your executive power, you’re using it too much to go after political opponents, against the media," the reporter continued to press, "Things like that?"

Trump's response was beyond unsettling:

'They Voted Against Me': Trump Says Quiet Part LOUD; Regrets His SCOTUS Picks

In his sprawling new interview with TIME, President Donald Trump finally said the quiet part out loud with respect to his Supreme Court justice picks -- Neil Gorsuch, Brett Kavanaugh, and Amy Coney Barrett -- flat-out admitting that he regrets all three of them because they "voted against me too often."

Trump's entire second presidential term has been inundated with one Supreme Court defeat after another, despite his best efforts to stack the highest Court in the land with his own devout loyalists. In February, the SCOTUS ruled 6-3 that the International Emergency Economic Powers Act did not, in fact, give him the authority to implement his sweeping emergency tariffs. Kavanaugh dissented, while Gorsuch and Barrett joined the controlling opinion.

Just a few short months later, Trump was hammered again when the Supreme Court rejected his attempt to impose severe restrictions on birthright citizenship. Barrett and Chief Justice John Roberts joined the liberal-leaning justices in striking down Trump's attempt as unconstitutional. Kavanaugh joined a separate majority that concluded the restrictions violated federal law. Gorsuch dissented.

Just one day before that loss, the Supreme Court blocked his efforts to remove Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook in a 5-4 decision.

When asked point-blank in the TIME interview whether he regretted his SCOTUS choices, Trump did not mince his words.

Mike Johnson Cuts Dem Ad By Promising To Do Same Thing For Next Two Years

Speaker Mike Johnson told CNBC that if Republicans keep the House after the midterms, they will do exactly the same thing in the final two years of the Trump administration economically as they've been doing, which is good news for the Democratic party and bad news for the country.

The Democratic Party couldn't ask for a better political ad to run the next 30 days before the November election.

Joining Squawk Box, pro-Trump co-host Joe Kernen asked this question which resulted in a most peculiar reply from Jebus Johnson.

"What if you keep the House, what would you do for the final two years..." Kernen asked.

"What we would do in the next two years is exactly what we have been doing already,and that is putting the conditions in place for a strong America again," Johnson replied.

Since Republicans controlled all of Congress since Trump started his second term, the economy is tanking, job creation is flat, Trump's illegal tariffs ended up raising inflation and taxed the entire population. Fuel costs are devastating most of America, thanks to his dirty little Iran war.

Rents and mortgages are unmanageable, while food and service costs have skyrocketed. Couple that with rogue ICE agents killing US citizens wearing masks along with an unwarranted and disastrous war with Iran and we are where we are today.
