CNN on Monday refused to show images of President Donald Trump signing his latest executive order that targets Muslim travelers.

Weeks after a federal judge blocked Trump’s executive order banning travel from seven majority-Muslim countries, Trump on Monday issued a scaled down order that exempts green card holders, people with existing visas and travelers from Iraq. But CNN refused to broadcast images of the president signing the order because he banned the media from the event amid ongoing questions about Russian involvement in the U.S. election and a controversy over whether Trump lied when he recently claimed that former President Barack Obama was monitoring his phone calls in Trump Tower.

“This is a president who loves to sign executive orders,” CNN White House Correspondent Jeff Zeleny explained on Monday. “He holds them up, he has news conferences around them (but this executive order) was signed in secret this morning.”

“No questions (from the media),” CNN host John King pointed out. “We won’t show you the picture of the president signing the executive order that’s incredibly important to his administration, it’s a very important policy debate in our country — we will not show you the picture because we have a policy that you cannot have canned press release pictures from a White House.”

1. They should pixelate Dumps face anytime they use him in a story.

Let me play this game with Dump. I could make his head pop like a ripe ass boil if I held the power of CNN.

2. Alec Baldwin, Melissa McCarthy, Rosie O'Donnell and Kate McKinnon

should get in full make-up as Trump, Spicer, Bannon and Conway, take a photo with Baldwin/Trump sitting at a desk, appearing to sign a bill or whatever, with the others standing behind him.

And that photo should be used each and every time by the news when Trump signs an XO or whatever in secret.

That would really piss Trump off. Not to mention being hilarious.

7. Probably in military jacket and cap. SAD.

So far out of his league.

Hey GOP Congress--smell that smoke? Um, Rome is burning.

Just sayin'.

8. That's fine, but it's a meaningless gesture unless ABC, CBS, NBC, MSNBC, AP, and Reuters

...refuse to show pictures as well.

If we get to a point where Trump excludes one or two press outlets that he's upset with from press events, and all the others boycott in solidarity, the only 'press' present will be the joke outlets, like Breitbart, Infowars, Daily Caller, and YES...FAUX NEWS.

This would be a win-win, because it would get him to stop doing this, and also confirm Fox's reputation as a fake, toy news organization that's an official member of the Alt-Right. It's bad enough that Fox is a propaganda arm of the GOP and the plutocrats that own them. But they've been proud so far to not be put in the same category as the Alt-Right crackpots.
