Trump Roasted for Complete Audio Fail at Event Where He’s Drowned Out By Choppers: ‘Glorious’
The TV press pool boycotts after the White House barred three outlets, leaving no major network cameras and making Trump’s remarks inaudible.
- On Monday, President Donald Trump was drowned out by the roar of Marine Force One while unveiling a new White House helipad, as major television networks boycotted the event to protest his recent press restrictions.
- Following Trump's Friday decision to declare CNN, MS NOW, and Politico "fake news," networks including ABC, CBS, NBC, Fox News, and CNN agreed to boycott pool duties on Monday in solidarity with the banned outlets.

- The three banned outlets filed a federal lawsuit Monday challenging their removal as a violation of the First Amendment, while Fox News Washington Bureau Chief Bryan Boughton confirmed no replacement pool will be provided.
- Vanity Fair's Aidan McLaughlin predicted Trump may "lift the ban by the end of the week," noting the boycott leaves the "TV-addicted president" without major network cameras to record his movements.
