I guess the posters were OK with Obama spying on the press? Name calling? skin color?

Maybe he can follow Hillary's example and force reporters to stand in a roped area, so is to not bother her.

Gorham, New Hampshire (CNN) — Hillary Clinton's campaign used a rope to keep journalists away from the candidate on Saturday while she walked in this small town's July Fourth parade.

Can you imagine the outrage if Hillary pulled Fox's press credentials?

Herr Trump continues to expose his inner-fascist.

Yeah, keep whining about him pulling press credentials. At least he talked to the media...unlike the lying Hillary who should be wearing an orange jumpsuit right now.
If you want to introduce lying into this discussion, Mr. Trump's mountains of lies -- big and small -- are far greater than anything Mrs. Clinton has lied about.

Every politician skirts the truth from time to time and this is what Clinton does. Trump lies about everything -- from preposterous claims that unemployment is really 44% to claims that he never heard of the KKK leader that endorsed him -- even though that is on record.

While we are on the topic of the WaPo, this is from them: Trump lies and lies and lies again

Before Trump supporters claim Mrs. Clinton is a liar, get your own house in order.

On the topic, Trump doesn't like criticism and thinks he can bully one of the most respected newspapers in the country. This calls into question two character flaws 1) that he can't take negative press without having a wild fit, and; 2) that he is prone to punish anyone that goes against his wishes.

So very authoritarian of him.

He must be getting advice from his heroes Putin and Kim Jong Un.

"...One of the most frequent problems of every rookie dictator is free press. Even the acknowledged authoritarian rulers have problems with all these journalists writing their critical stuff. This is how the journalists are being dealt with in Belarus, a very promising modern European dictatorship..."

"...
That is why the first priority for all totalitarian regimes was to impose restrictions on freedom of speech..."

By November 7, 2016, the only remaining Trump press credentials would be held by the bastions of journalism such as Breitbart, Drudge Report, Right Wing News and InfoWars.

Why is he so thin skinned? Does the orange tan spray eat away at your skin?

That's pretty much the situation, see above...

The media provided him invaluable coverage because a loose-cannon candidate is a good story. He appears to have thought they actually liked him as a candidate. Putz.
