The White House just sent a big sign that they are afraid of putting Trump in front of an objective reporter to answer questions by refusing to allow him to be interviewed on NBC on Super Bowl Sunday.
CNN reported:
“He is not doing a Super Bowl interview,” a White House official told CNN on condition of anonymity on Wednesday.
Sources at NBC affirmed that their interview requests have been turned down. But Trump still has an open invitation, should he choose to change his mind, the sources said.
The White House admits that Trump can’t handle interview questions
The White House has admitted that Trump has mentally lost a step, which is why they don’t want him sitting down for interviews with objective journalists. Trump has done no press conferences alone in the White House reporters. The President will only sit down with friendly media outlets that ask him softball questions.

Alarm bells should be going off, as the White House is hiding the president from the free press. Trump is terrified of facing questions about the Russia scandal, and the White House even more afraid of what Trump might say in an interview setting with an actual journalist asking him questions.
The Super Bowl is the highest rated television event of the year. It is a great opportunity for presidents to promote their agenda, but Trump has no agenda, and he can’t be trusted to answer questions, so all the White House can do is hide the president away until Super Bowl Sunday passes.
