White House bars The Independent's reporter from Air Force One after Trump called him a 'sick person'
The White House indoor swimming pool that Franklin D. Roosevelt installed in 1933 to ease his polio — later covered over by Nixon to house reporters — which Donald Trump is now pushing to restore.
Andrew Feinberg was due to be the print pooler on Trump's Thursday trip to Iowa until the White House pulled his slot on Wednesday evening. White House Correspondents' Association president Jacqui Heinrich called the move 'retaliation'. The White House said no journalist has a constitutional right to Air Force One. The Independent is at least the third outlet removed from the plane in recent weeks.
Feinberg had asked Trump about his planned golf course at East Potomac Park.
A White House account called him a 'Mongoloid Moron'; JD Vance called him an 'imbecile'.
Trump has reportedly pitched turning the press briefing room into a swimming pool.
