White House invites one local Idaho newspaper to cover Ivanka Trump and Tim Cook's event at a public school but on one condition: No talking to Ivanka Trump or Tim Cook. And no questions. No other media outlet was allowed on school property.

Amid political turmoil, Ivanka Trump attempts a quiet swing through Idaho

The head of one of the world’s leading technology companies, and an adviser to and daughter of the nation’s president came to Idaho on Tuesday.

Normally, such a visit would warrant much fanfare. State officials, business leaders, stakeholders and media would all use the opportunity to meet with and report on such a rare official visit to the Gem State.

But this visit almost stayed under the radar.

On Monday morning, the White House informed the Statesman it could send one reporter and one photographer to observe Apple CEO Tim Cook and adviser to the president Ivanka Trump tour a Wilder elementary school the next morning. And there were conditions: The Statesman could not ask questions of or talk to Trump and Cook. It could only observe. The only other media attending the event would be a national crew from ABC.

1. F*ck Tim Cook for participating in that garbage.

Anything to avoid tariffs on iPhones though... and it's not like one of the most profitable companies in the history of mankind has access to lobbyists who could convince Congress to pass legislation overriding any Trump tariff.
