After his call for a "total and complete shutdown of Muslims entering the United States," Donald Trump has come under fire from, well, nearly everyone—even those within his own party. And now, The Huffington Post's Arianna Huffington is getting in on the argument, having recently penned a blog post for the publication telling Trump, "We are no longer entertained." With that in mind, she has announced that The Huffington Post will be changing the way their cover Trump's campaign.

Per her post, back in July, the publication announced that they would be sticking stories about Trump's campaign in their Entertainment section – largely because it was when seen as a "sideshow" by the publication's Ryan Grim and Danny Shea.

Of course, that was back in July. Fast forward to December, and Trump is the leading GOP candidate.

And as the Iowa caucuses draw nearer, it looks as if the candidate could very well also become the Republican presidential nominee.

"Our decision in July was made because we refused to go along with the idea, based simply on poll numbers," she writes, "that Trump's candidacy was actually a serious and good faith effort to present ideas on how best to govern the country."

Huffington further noted that as Trump's campaign has shifted from "ugly comments" in the beginning to a double-down of "cruelty and know-nothingness" mixed with "something repellent and threatening," a change must be placed.

"We believe that the way we cover the campaign should reflect this shift."

She then vowed that the publication will remind readers, while they report on his campaign, of some of the stances he's taken throughout (and before) his run, including: his desire for a Muslim database, his thoughts about 9/11 and Jersey City, his opinions on President Obama's birth certificate and many more, in order to bring to light the "extreme and irresponsible messages" he's declared in the past.
