Donald Trump is continuing his war against mainstream media.
While taking questions on the White House lawn on Tuesday, April 29, the president of the United States was asked by far-right Gateway Pundit reporter Jordan Conradson about the “leftist media” trying to hide the photos of people who have been deported that line the perimeter of the historic building.

“They’re trying to hide the mugshots that are featured on the front lawn of rapists, murderers, pedophiles. What do you think of that? Aren’t they proving to be the enemy of the people?” Jordan Conradson asked Donald Trump.
“Well, I guess they are. I guess they are, right? Thank you,” the Republican leader replied.
Conradson’s outlet, the Gateway Pundit is a pro-Trump outlet and has historically supported the politician’s stances.

On Monday, April 28, the White House lawn was covered in posters of illegal immigrants who have been accused or convicted of crimes and sent out of the United States by Donald Trump’s administration.
“It’s sick. It’s the worst crime in the world when you sexually assault a child, I mean, the most innocent of us all,” Border Czar Tom Homan said during a press conference about the alleged criminals.
The official then slammed former president Joe Biden‘s alleged lack of action, saying, “There’s no more heinous crime. And as you can see, the amount of child rapists we’ve arrested under this administration that could have been arrested under the Biden administration. But they didn’t go look for them. They were too busy releasing millions of illegal aliens into this country.”

Donald Trump has never been a fan of the mainstream media. During his first term in office, the controversial figure called the freedom of the press “disgusting.”
“I would never kill them, but I do hate them,” Trump said of journalists in 2017, according to the ACLU. “And some of them are such lying, disgusting people.”

Within the first month of Donald Trump’s second presidency, his administration banned the Associated Press and took away their Oval Office credentials after the publication continued to use the name “Gulf of Mexico” instead of the “Gulf of America.”
“We reserve the right to decide who gets to go into the Oval Office,” White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said during a February press conference. “If we feel there are lies being pushed by outlets in this room, we are going to hold those lies accountable.”
