The White House has launched a new website that will supposedly “expose” the media’s lies against him.
Donald Trump has had a deep-seated resentment for the media for as long as he has been in politics — which is a little odd, considering his anchor in the American consciousness was thanks to his infatuation with the media. From the early onset of his real estate career, Trump would call up Vanity Fair, Vogue, or Forbes using the fake name “John Barron” and tell them positive stories about Trump — an amalgamation of his middle name and his youngest son’s name, who very famously is not a Harvard student.
It was during those days that Trump lost the trust of the media. More often than not, it would turn out that Trump was lying about one thing or another. But at that time it was all about his multiple divorces or his new casino — nothing that could affect your regular Joe in middle America. But these days, one lie could mean no more healthcare for the most vulnerable members of society. So since there’s more at stake, the criticism has understandably been harsher.
Trump hasn’t been any kinder to the media outlets either. He’s been calling every piece of criticism a hoax, suing multiple outlets, and even pushing for late-night comedians to be fired for making jokes about him. But where he chose to draw the line was when Democrats released a video on social media asking members of the military to disobey illegal orders. The media was split on that call. There are many ways to read such a request; Trump, however, chose to read it as incitement and treason — which is a very serious allegation.
Trump is now using his new website to allege that the media was spreading misinformation. But Trump calling out others for misinformation is probably one of the clearest examples of hypocrisy in contemporary history.

Just recently, Trump was platforming claims in the White House about unproven claims that Tylenol causes autism, or straight up letting Robert F. Kennedy’s MAHA create fake AI-generated studies to explain away the lowered American life expectancy. Calling out fake reports but formulating them as well. He didn’t just stop there — Trump also took his hypocrisy to a new level when he went ahead and sued any social media platform that wouldn’t let him spread misinformation about the 2020 election. So when Trump is setting up an entire website because he’s been inspired by an act of incitement, it’s hard not to at least scoff at that.
Trump has been railing against “corrupt” media for as long as he has been in politics. And in return, he has been trying to form close relationships with new faces in media, like the new head of Paramount, where he can form a tame version of state media so that he can greenlight movies like Rush Hour 4, if he so chooses.
What Trump wants is unchecked authority. Media using substantiated claims derived from public records cannot be threatened by selective “exposes.” Because at the end of the day, people just want a more affordable cost of living — and you can’t give that through a website bashing journalists.
