After officially ousting out lesbian black TV comedianne #AmberRuffin as confirmed host, the thin skinned US President himself is not even expected to attend next weekend’s annual #WhiteHouse correspondents’ dinner.

The #Drumpf admin has been particularly sensitive to negative press, threatening to jail journalists, and even ousting long time #PressPool members, including a ban on the entire #AssociatedPress org from events for continuing centuries of precedence and refering to the #GulfOfMexico instead of the President's preferred term “Gulf of America”.

In the legal standoff between #Trump & The #AssociatedPress, the admin acknowledged in a filing just now that as of today, Trump was required to begin letting #AP journalists back in the WH #press pool to cover daily events. Acc/to the schedule released by the WH, neither a print reporter nor a photographer from the AP is part of the pool covering Trump’s meeting w/Bukele or other events today.
