Donald Trump says press is "CORRUPT and DISHONEST" and should be barred from White House media areas
“The Fake News Media been doing this for years, I call them out, but they should really be called out by the Courts, and should not be allowed to enter the White House premises, or Press Room, because they are CORRUPT and DISHONEST!”
Reported September 26, 2026 by rawstory.com. Checked word for word against that report.
President Donald Trump disputed reports that Rep. Byron Donalds, a Florida Republican he endorsed, had removed mentions of him from his gubernatorial campaign, writing on Truth Social that the coverage was false. Donalds’s campaign said its website changes were meant to prioritize policy. Trump blamed USA Today and said other outlets picked up the story; he also said Donalds posted an image to deny it. Trump then criticized the press, saying courts should act and that those outlets should be barred from White House media areas. The comments came days after a federal judge ordered his administration to restore credentials for reporters from CNN, MS Now and Politico. Trump also claimed he is more popular in Florida now than in 2024 and that two rallies for Donalds are scheduled.
