One would have to be an idiot to think that this will stop WaPo from reporting on him. I'd say it will only make them bolder. Trump is an idiot. This is just another example of his knee jerk reactions.
Trump was implying that there may be nefarious reasons why Obama didn't say Islamic terrorist.
WaPo isn't the only one reporting it. Trump says things, gauges the reaction, if it's negative then he goes into diversion mode.
If Trump is going to pull the press credentials and bar any press who have stated negative things about him, very soon he won't have a single reporter from any news agency at his events.
Which I guess would be to his liking.
Let us see, to date Donald John Trump has revoked the press credentials of the following organizations (both on an on-going basis, or at certain events):
The Des Moines Register
The New Hampshire Union Leader
Politico
Buzzfeed
The New Tri-State Defender
The Daily Beast
Univision
The Huffington Post
The National Review
Mother Jones
Foreign Policy
The Washington Post
Oddly enough, when googling 'Clinton revokes press credentials', I can't seem to find any evidence of her doing so.
Seems odd, since it is well known herein that Mr. Trump is a fervent supporter of the Constitution, whereas Ms. Clinton has made it known that she wishes to trash it completely. Where she has said that, I do not know, but I read it on the internet, so it must be totally true.
It's quite likely he wants the credentials pulled from any organization, who has a broad reader base of people who can actually read and comprehend what they've read.
It's a simple ploy, to deliver his message directly unto the uneducated all the way within the ranks of the imbecilic; who seek out the drama impact, as if they are looking for an addictive fix, to feed their lust for contention.
Crazy? Like a fox maybe. Trump has been critical of the media since day one. The voters don't care about what he thinks or does with regards to the press... What he is doing is keeping himself in the headlines and you can bet that they're going to want to interview him on this and when they do he will use it to further his agenda. Aside from what's going on in Orlando.. His pulling of WP's credentials is ALL OVER the news. He knows he can't stop them from covering him, and that he's going to get even more coverage from the others.
In show-biz, any news is good news. It's not the same in politics. This is bad news and reflects badly.
Washington Post banned?
Didn't even know the @washingtonpost was Muslim, tbh
