Trump announced a “Media Availability” at Mar-A-Lago, a couple of hours before the New Years Eve celebration. He invited reporters, cameras, etc.
Four minor reporters showed up.
Not a single broadcast or cable news network covered it.
Notably even Fox News and Newsmax were absent — both networks have historically offered sympathetic coverage of the former president.

Maybe, just maybe the networks are getting it. Trump is as vile as they come and a majority in this country are sick of him. Now, let’s see if we can, with the help of the DOJ, deposit this turd in prison for his crimes.
MORE ON TRUMP’S FAILED “NEWS CONFERENCE” — NO ONE GIVES A SHIT ABOUT THIS FOOL (no one with half a brain, that is)
Now, if New Year’s Eve at Mar-a-Lago is any indication, we can look forward to a year of more failure for Donald Trump and his worshipful GOP cult followers. According to reports from the snooty soiree, Trump had invited the press to attend an end-of-year avail at his resort/home. However, in a prelude to what 2023 holds for him, not a single representative from a reputable news organization showed up. Even Trump-fluffing outlets like Newsmax and Fox News declined his invitation.
The media that refused to waste their New Year’s Eve on another Trump propaganda spew didn’t miss very much. He spoke for fewer than five minutes, and dodged pertinent questions about abortion and his prospective GOP primary opponent, Ron DeSantis (video below). He did, however, manage to squeeze out a response to a blatantly biased inquiry into his lies about the FBI and Department of Justice persecuting him. The question came from a “correspondent” from Steve Bannon’s “War Room”, vlog, Jayne Zirkle, who asked…
Zirkle: Mr. President, the DoJ and the FBI have weaponized against you. Will you commit to going after them in your second term?
Trump: I think it’s disgraceful what’s happened with the FBI and the weaponization of justice. There’s never been anything like this, and it is disgraceful.
Trump also replied to a question about how his campaign for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination is going. He said simply that it is going “very well.” Which is puzzling considering that he hasn’t had any campaign events, or even left his Mar-a-Lago bunker, since he announced his candidacy a month and a half ago.
The snub that Trump received from the press isn’t likely to soothe his fierce animosity toward the media and the Constitution’s First Amendment mandating that they operate freely. He has already dubbed them “the enemy of the people,” and just yesterday posted a rant on his floundering Twitter ripoff, Truth Social, expressing his hatred for the press and his desire to see these American businesses and workers suffer.
Trump also celebrated the lower ratings that television news have received this year, although he clearly has no idea why that is. And in the same post he lashed out at Fox News, who he said is struggling because “they never say ‘Trump’ or TRUTH, never talk about the Rigged Presidential Election, and is a Fake Polling Network.” Yeah, that’s why.
The wrath that Trump is directing at Fox News now may be because he just heard that his favorite Fox flunky, Sean Hannity, told the House Select Committee investing the January 6th insurrection, with regard to the 2020 election being “rigged and stolen,” that “I did not believe it for one second.” That’s gotta hurt.
And with that, Trump delivered his wishes for the nation on this holiday saying…
“HAPPY NEW YEAR to all of the Radical Left Democrats, Marxist Lunatics, China loving Coco Chow and her Obedient Husband, Mitch, and Clueless RINOS, who are working so hard to DESTROY our once great Country.”
Such uplifting, heartwarming, and positive thoughts for America’s future from the twice-impeached, former reality TV game show host, and soon-to-be criminal defendant.
AND THERE’S MORE:
Former President Donald Trump rang in the New Year on Saturday night with hundreds of Mar-a-Lago members and a few political cronies.
In past years, Hollywood celebrities have attended Trump’s annual A-list New Year’s Eve party at the Palm Beach club. But this year, the most notable, high-profile figures attending the opulent black tie-and-long gown gala were goofballs, liars, and failures from the former president’s political orbit, including pollster Dick Morris (renowned for bringing ho’s into the Executive Office Building and sucking their toes); legal adviser Rudy Giuliani (drunk on his ass and dripping with hair dye); and pillow maker Mike Lindell (still waiting for Trump to be reinstated). All walked the red carpet but did not comment about Trump or their expectations for 2023.
Trump’s second-oldest son, Eric, and his wife, Lara, attended as well. However, two other adult children were notable by their absence: Donald Jr. with his ho’ Kimberly Guilfoyle; and daughter Ivanka with husband Jared.
