"Donald Trump needs the media to thrive, to survive, and to get his message out there," the ABC host says The post ‘The View’: Alyssa Farah Griffin Calls Trump’s Press Ban a ‘Complete Self-Own’ appeared first on TheWrap .
The Trump administration is once again facing legal challenges, following a judge's decision to overturn President Trump's ban on CNN, MSNBC and Politico from the White House premises. Alyssa Farah Griffin, a host on "The View," expressed her belief that the overturn was inevitable and labeled Trump's decision as "a complete self-own."
Despite the judge's ruling, journalists from the blocked outlets were still denied entry to the White House on Thursday. The ABC hosts discussed how Trump's move seemed more like a distraction from something else, but they found it particularly confusing. Farah Griffin explained that Trump requires the media's presence to thrive and convey his message effectively.
She also highlighted that this comes at a crucial time, as Trump had been preparing for the President Xi visit to the White House, but no pool footage was available. Farah Griffin suggested that Trump might ultimately reverse his decision, recognizing his dependence on the media; however, she believed this should occur sooner rather than later.
Sunny Hostin concurred, stating that Trump thrives on media coverage and frequently lies to the American public through them. She pondered what would happen if the press didn't cover him, questioning whether he would beg for their return. "The View" is broadcast weekdays at 11 a.m. ET on ABC.
