Trump wants to ban the presence of the media in the White House Donald Trump's relationship with the press is one of the most challenging issues in his second term in the United States. The US president is particularly sensitive to the media and journalists whom he accuses of spreading "fake news". Recently, he got into a fight with these media outlets for trying to prevent letters from the Cianan Network, Politico and MS NOW from entering the White House. The White House defended its decision to ban the three stores, arguing that access to the White House is a "privilege," not a "right." Now, apparently, Trump plans to go one step further and completely shut down the White House press conference room. The New York Times reported this news. According to the report of this newspaper, the President of the United States considered closing the press conference room of James S. Brady for months. According to the New York Times, Trump is thinking of turning this room into a swimming pool again. The New York Times cited several unnamed sources familiar with the plan. Franklin D. In 1933, Roosevelt, the President of the United States, built a swimming pool on the site of the White House where today's press conferences are held. Later, during the presidency of Richard Nixon, the pool was covered and this space became a press conference room.
