Banning the press, stage one before declaring a possible state of emergency to eliminate the midterms.

Time frame, mid October. Why? His polls are in the dumpster, the repugs are running scared.
If both houses go blue, impeachment is a surety and no real initiatives from the TA will be passed. 

If this doesn't fly, a possible false flag is in the offing. Trump's brown shirts, aka the pardoned January 6 rioters,
are ready to go.

God, I hope this is just fear mongering but Project 2025 is about 50% dialed in at this point in time.

United States President Donald Trump has announced that, effective immediately,
CNN, MS NOW and Politico are banned from the White House.

On Friday, Trump posted on Truth Social his displeasure with the media outlets’
coverage of his administration.

“I am proud to announce that, effective immediately, I am banning Fake News CNN, MSNOW … and Politico … from the White House as a result of their constant ‘reporting’ FAKE NEWS!” Trump wrote.

“Media Outlets shouldn’t be able to constantly write or report FICTION and LIES when they’re covering the President of the United States, the Trump Administration, or the United States of America. Other Fake News Media Outlets to follow.”

Asked by reporters later on Friday what he meant by other outlets “to follow”, Trump named The New York Times and The Washington Post as what he called “fake news”.

Speaking to reporters at the White House, Trump said the outlets “purposely write negative news”.

“You get so tired of reading and seeing fake news,” he said in the Oval Office. “They purposely write negative news, and they do that because they want to try and diminish the Republicans and a Republican administration. And honestly, we’ve done a fantastic job.”

Asked why he was taking action now, Trump said it was because of the news organisations’
“cumulative” coverage.

Al Jazeera’s Alan Fisher reported from Washington, DC, that Trump’s ban will likely be challenged soon.

“The United States has the First Amendment [of its Constitution] that says the government cannot restrict access to this sort of thing,” he said.
