<blockquote>
<p dir="auto">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.</p>
<p dir="auto">It’s being challenged as unconstitutional. But I think more basically it’s a violation of human rights. The Universal Declaration of Human Rights:</p>
<blockquote>
<p dir="auto">Article 21</p>
<ol>
<li>Everyone has the right to take part in the government of his country, directly or through freely chosen representatives.</li>
<li>Everyone has the right of equal access to public service in his country.</li>
</ol>
</blockquote>
<p dir="auto">Trump’s “early access” program is inherently partaking in governance as it is communication between reps and those they represent. Knowing what is going on inside that nutjob’s brain is part of the democracy equation -- as precursor to protesting his next stupid idea. Yet in this case it would be exclusively available to paying subscribers, not <em>everyone</em> as required by art.21.</p>
</blockquote>
<p dir="auto">Trump’s move violates both paragraph 1 and 2 of Art.21.</p>
