Government Controlling and Banning News Organizations

He is still the President and (more importantly) a human being who deserves to speak his mind without being taken out of context and misrepresented. If I were holding a press conference for whatever reason, I don't think I would want anyone in attendance who would likely twist my words around either! If you are intent on slandering or putting a "spin" on what I am saying in order to make me look like a racist or an idiot, you can do so from secondary sources. I will not enable you by inviting you into "my house!"

No, the White House is not owned by the President but the president is occupying the White House and it is very much HIS domain! I think people ought to respect this and count it a privilege to be sitting in the press room.
Domain is and or a sphere where a person, king, or organization holds authority. The president does not have domain over the White House because it belongs to the federal government and the people of this country.

And the interstate system is used by the Post Office. So what is unconstitutional?

Didn't say it was. Limited, constitutional government does not mean no government. I am not an anarchist libertarian. I am a minarchist libertarian.

Also, the interstate highway system was built to assist in evacuating large cities in case of a nuclear attack.
Okay, so we have established that the government has been authorized to establish roads to facilitate the mail. How much disrepair must there be before you can say that the government is establishing the post roads in the same location they were before. Whatever wrong with some upkeep? And where does that fit into your opinion of government since one President vetoed this kind of activity?

Seems to me that the national government should upkeep its highways, such as U.S highways and the Interstate Highway System.

Then I don’t understand where you are coming from or what you are talking about. I have been going from the understanding I took from what you said here,

For some context city delivery didn’t start until 1863, rural in 1896. I’m not positive because I wasn’t there, but the roads they used then were probably the roads already there made by wagon ruts. So the founders, who didn’t envision the mail being delivered by internal combustion engines or electric vehicles, still thought ahead enough to make it possible to pave the roads everywhere.
Is that exactly what they would think? Maybe not, but you can’t really know how they would think about the present circumstances either.
And the federal government doesn’t actually take care of all roads. States and localities have those responsibilities also.
