The White House has recently made headlines by signing a directive aimed at boosting efficiency among government agencies, with none other than tech mogul Elon Musk present for the momentous occasion. Musk, accompanied by his son, made quite the impression during the signing ceremony, likely leaving many liberal commentators seething in envy. They certainly weren’t thrilled to see a business titan and innovator sharing the limelight with the Commander-in-Chief, especially when it involved carrying out a pro-efficiency agenda.
But here’s where the fun begins. Notably absent from the festivities was the Associated Press, which found itself on the receiving end of the White House’s disapproval. The root of the issue? The AP continues to cling to the outdated term “Gulf of Mexico” instead of embracing President Trump’s directive to refer to it as the “Gulf of America.” Apparently, this terminology clash was enough for the White House to call for a little accountability, and it turned into a spectacle.

Turns out the AP’s insistence on using antiquated language is about as effective as trying to sail a ship with no wind. The Associated Press couldn’t understand that if you want to play in the big leagues of journalism, keeping up with the times is key. They’ve held onto this old name like a child clings to a favorite stuffed animal, despite the fact that it runs counter to the new direction the Trump administration is pushing. Of course, these so-called journalists can’t seem to fathom the idea that perhaps their refusal to adapt is why they found themselves locked out of the Oval Office.
The White House Correspondents Association was quick to come to the AP’s defense, decrying the actions as “unacceptable.” This just goes to illustrate how the mainstream media continues to believe they deserve a VIP pass to every event, regardless of whether they are keeping pace with the administration’s directives. For them, it’s not a matter of adhering to the changes but rather whining about being treated like they don’t belong. Every time they cry foul, it’s as if they think it’ll magically earn them back the respect they so richly don’t deserve.
Meanwhile, Trump remains undeterred by the AP’s antics. He indicated that he would abide by lower court rulings regarding Pirate Bay’s activities but also plans to appeal, a clear sign that he isn’t going to back down to the whims of leftist judges or the moaning of their media allies. As each day goes by, it’s clear that the business-as-usual attitude only breeds more frustration among voters who elected him to shake up a stale system. The message is clear: refuse to play by the old rules, and expect to be left out in the cold.
