https://www.politico.com/news/2019/10/22/white-house-cancel-times-post-subscriptions-054314The White House said Tuesday it will not be renewing subscriptions to The New York Times and The Washington Post, two papers the president frequently attacks as fake and which he suggested canceling the previous night in a TV appearance.
Monday on Fox News Hannity, President Donald Trump called the Times a fake newspaper and said we dont even want it in the White House anymore.
Story Continued Below
Were going to probably terminate that and The Washington Post, Trump said. Theyre fake.
Trumps terminate remarks were interpreted by journalists on Twitter as meaning canceling paper subscriptions, rather than kicking reporters out of the White House. White House press secretary Stephanie Grisham confirmed to POLITICO that he was talking about subscriptions, which we wont be renewing.
Representatives from the Post and Times declined to comment.
While Trump routinely blasts the news media, he seems to care deeply about how major news outlets especially the Times, his hometown newspaper cover him.

Even if he can read the words it takes a great deal of time to make someone that stupid understand what was read to him and he cannot be bothered.

He is so self centered, entitled and delusional he actually thinks he gets to set the bar. He can't wrap his pea brain on the idea that others do not see things as he instructs.
He does not live in the real world and never has.
