During a press conference outside the White House, President Donald Trump told female reporter Akayla Gardner from MS NOW to be "quiet" after she asked him about his decision to exclude certain media outlets from the press pool. He also dismissed former President Barack Obama’s suggestion that a world run by women would likely be better as “ridiculous.” This incident highlights Trump's ongoing contentious relationship with female journalists and his broader criticism of what he deems "fake news."

Story summary
On Saturday morning before boarding Air Force One in Washington D.C., President Donald Trump faced questions from reporters about his decision to ban several major news outlets including CNN, MS NOW, and Politico from covering the White House. When asked if he wanted only supportive media coverage, Trump responded dismissively, telling a female reporter from MS NOW: "Be quiet." This exchange came after a federal judge had already ruled against the administration’s ban on constitutional grounds, lifting it earlier in the week. Despite the ruling, Trump barred CNN from accompanying him to Tennessee for a college football game and instead chose LindellTV, owned by his ally Mike Lindell, to provide coverage.
