Caitlyn Jenner to Trump: 'This is a disaster'

Caitlyn Jenner to Trump: 'This is a disaster'

(CNN)Republican Caitlyn Jenner took to Twitter Thursday evening with a message to President Donald Trump: "Call me."

The Olympian-turned-reality star, who is perhaps the most high-profile face of the transgender community, at first was quiet after the Trump administration withdrew Obama-era guidance on transgender bathroom use in public schools.

But she broke her silence over 24 hours later in a tweet and video message.

Clad in a pink "***** bow" blouse, Jenner spoke directly to the camera.

"I have a message for President Trump from well, one Republican to another. This is a disaster. And you can still fix it. You made a promise to protect the LGBTQ community," she said, holding up her hand like a mock telephone. "Call me."

After Trump became the presumptive GOP nominee in June, Jenner told STAT she believed he would be better for women than Hillary Clinton.

"Everybody looks at the Democrats as being better with these [LGBT] issues. But Trump seems to be very much for women. He seems very much behind the LGBT community because of what happened in North Carolina with the bathroom issue. He backed the LGBT community. But in Trump's case, there's a lot more unknowns. With Hillary, you pretty much know what you're gonna get with the LGBT community," Jenner said at the time.

She was spotted attending an inauguration eve dinner at Washington's Union Station alongside House Speaker Paul Ryan.

More people trust the media than Trump

The latest Quinnipiac University poll released Wednesday revealed Americans have a pretty bleak impression of their new commander-in-chief. President Trump earned his lowest net approval rating since he took office, with just 38 percent approving of the job he's done so far and 55 percent of Americans disapproving.

Americans didn't rate Trump's "personal qualities" much better:

55 percent said Trump "is not honest."
55 percent said he lacks "good leadership skills."
63 percent said he "is not level-headed."
60 percent said he "does not share their values."

In what might be the biggest blow to Trump, the poll also found that Americans trust the media — which Trump recently declared the "enemy of the American people" — more than they trust Trump to tell "the truth about the important issues."

President Trump's popularity is 'sinking like a rock,' new poll shows

White House blocks news organizations from press briefing

Not a fascist, they said.


White House blocks news organizations from press briefing

CNN and other news organizations were blocked Friday from a White House press briefing.

There was no immediate explanation from the White House.

The New York Times, the Los Angeles Times, and Politico were also excluded from the meeting, which is known as a gaggle and is less formal than the televised Q-and-A session in the White House briefing room.

The Associated Press and Time magazine boycotted the briefing because of how it was handled. The White House Correspondents Association is protesting.

The conservative media organizations Breitbart News, The Washington Times and One America News Network were allowed in.

Related: Trump rips media, repeats 'enemy of the people' line

Hours earlier, at the Conservative Political Action Conference outside Washington, President Trump mocked and disparaged the news media. He said that much of the press represents "the enemy of the people."

"They are the enemy of the people because they have no sources," Trump said. "They just make them up when there are none."

He also said reporters "shouldn't be allowed" to use unnamed sources.

Re: White House blocks news organizations from press briefing

CNN and the NYT, but especially CNN has been on a campaign of slander and misrepresentation. It's done by outright attacks, and selective use and interpretation of stories intended to portray the Trump Administration as lawless, out of control, inept... or in collusion with foreign disassemblers (ie Russia). Trump's disparaging of the News Media stems directly from the flagrant bias that mainstream Liberal media sources have cast on him, before and after the campaign.
