Should have left him alone....as you know, ISIS now runs that country. Gaddafi was no longer running a terrorist state.

Trump is trying to push the Repubs into throwing him out .... I doubt the Donnie ever had in mind to even possibly being elected Prez. His aim was to make fun of the Rs and he has done a pretty good job at that.

This move isn't enough. He's done a lot of oddball stuff. This is small potatoes. He'll reverse it soon enough - he did with his self-imposed boycott on Faux. His way of giving the Post a slap on the hand and to get more national attention (like he needs it) and look like a tough guy in control.

Oh, as if anyone cares what the Washington Post -- or the rest of the lying lib media -- says anymore.

Those papers are failing.

And deservedly so.

The lying lib lamestream media is about as popular nowadays as bed bugs.

Here's the real story:

WaPo was recently purchased by the guy -- Bezos -- who owns Amazon.

He's all mad at Trump because Trump thinks Amazon should charge sales tax. That way, all the mom-and-pop brick and mortar stores that libs are always saying Walmart destroys will have a chance.

So of course, the stupid libs who hate Walmart for destroying mom and pop businesses and turning quaint downtowns into ghost towns are on the side of the very guy -- Bezos -- that they should be hating, and against the guy -- Trump -- that they should be loving.

Bezos has assigned 20 reporters to spend all their time digging up dirt and telling lies about Trump -- the latest being a headline saying that Trump says that Obama "was involved in the Orlando terrorist attack."

So there ya go. Libs being at best hypocrites and at worst stupid.

But then, that's libs for you -- thinking is not something they're very good at.

Liberal propaganda kicked to the curb. I'm liking Trump more and more.

Anyone see "Spotlight" Oscar Winning Film last year? - well the same guy who took on The Catholic Church (Marty Baron) is the guy Trump is butting heads with. Good luck with that.

I just wonder how long the Trump faithful will hang on to his coattails or will they be like another group of fanatic supporters and eventually have to relocate to Argentina?

How stupid a move is this, as there is an old adage that says, "don't get into an argument with someone that buys ink by the barrel"! Also last I checked the first amendment does cover something called freedom of the press does it not? I guess though because he is such a business genius, he can't let a little detail like the first amendment get in his way.

Just another glaring example of his pettiness, stupidity and smallness along with affirmation of the increasing evidence that he is not fit to lead a great nation like ours.

President's, Big people, and Leaders don't shrink from criticism, and pout when they receive it, but embrace it as a way to grow, develop and get better.

Besides Donald the 20 reporters they have on you has probably now increased to 40!
I have a WP online subscription. Every day, for the last year, they have done at least 3 negative stories on him plus 2 negative opinion columns plus, their cartoonist doesn't seem to know how to draw anything but Trump. I think they are very, very stupid from a business standpoint to be so blatantly biased and condescending. Like the Republican elite, Donald Trump represents their power flying out the window if he's elected. If Trump is elected he will be the most transparent President ever simply because he never met a microphone or camera he didn't like. How would you like to be the biggest national newspaper in DC and never get an interview while EVERYBODY else gets one or have your reporter never selected for a question at a White House press conference? Today, there is no Trump story in the WP. They think they can play and win but people have too many other news choices these days...and Hillary Clinton is a snoozefest. Trump doesn't need them but they need him. Trump's next move should be to give The Washington Times, exclusive interviews. They are not biased.

WAPO is doing the absolute right thing by going after him hard and what you call bias is a great newspaper simply doing its job. Its job is not to be a shill for Little Donny but to vet him, his statements and policies so that the voting public can make reasoned and sound decisions, regarding his ability to become leader of the free world. This is what comes with the territory from now until November. If he doesn't like it then too bad, but he can't "fire" the Washington Post, and they are not going away anytime soon.

Also, Trump will never be elected so WAPO has nothing to worry about regarding not getting called on in press conferences. Lastly, the Washington Times is the equivalent of Fox News in the print media, and are hardly objective when it comes to coverage of the dems or anyone to the left of Trump and the Repubs.
