Of course what this means is people who are not in Trump’s exclusive fiefdom will be excuded from access, at least for a period of time.
It’s being challenged as unconstitutional. But I think more basically it’s a violation of human rights. The Universal Declaration of Human Rights:
Article 21
- Everyone has the right to take part in the government of his country, directly or through freely chosen representatives.
- Everyone has the right of equal access to public service in his country.
Trump’s “early access” program is a mechanism for taking part in governance which would be exclusively available to paying subscribers.

He could just step down. Then it’d be okay.

well if you shoot off part of his ear just 1 cm or so from the brain and that does not motivate stepping down, then it’s not gonna happen.
