Trump bans WashPost from his events

Donald Trump said Monday that he is pulling The Washington Post’s credentials to cover his events because he is upset with the newspaper’s coverage of his campaign. The source of his ire is Post criticism of a speech in which Trump seemingly connects Obama to the Orlando shootings.

Trump's raison d'etre is hatred of a black president.

The dude has bats in his belfry if he thinks he can win a war with the Post and Marty Baron.

Trump finally discovered that Washington Post has sworn their allegiance to Hillary?

This is SOP for the Republicans by demonizing the media and WaPo is an easy target for Trump. I don't think this will make any difference to his campaign.

For those outside the Post's paywall, you get a good long quote here:http://www.outsidethebeltway.com/don...th-terrorists/

Trump has the best case of Obama Derangement Syndrome ever!

This was predicted months ago that Utah 'Pubs could prefer Hillz to the toxic pompous bullshit artist.
