President Donald Trump said Tuesday that he will continue to restrict The Associated Press’ access to his events and news conferences until the news outlet goes along with his renaming of the Gulf of Mexico in its reports. He acknowledged that the move was a presidential retaliation against the news agency’s editorial policy.


Good. AP is widely respected around the world. Trump is a jerkoff.
 

Trump has issues with AP beyond the Gulf disagreement​

Through a story in Axios over the weekend, the Trump administration broadened its complaints against the AP beyond the Gulf dispute. White House deputy chief of staff Taylor Budowich told Axios that the administration is concerned about AP “weaponizing language through their Stylebook to push a partisan world view.”

Specifically, it objects to the Stylebook’s use of the phrase “gender-affirming care” to describe medical treatments for transgender people, and the capitalization of Black and not white in racial descriptions.
