Trump expanded on that in a statement released Monday night. Here it is, in full:

The Washington Post unfortunately covers Mr. Trump very inaccurately. Today's headline, "Donald Trump Suggests President Obama Was Involved With Orlando Shooting" is a perfect example. We no longer feel compelled to work with a publication which has put its need for "clicks" above journalistic integrity.

They have no journalistic integrity and write falsely about Mr. Trump. Mr. Trump does not mind a bad story, but it has to be honest. The fact is, The Washington Post is being used by the owners of Amazon as their political lobbyist so that they don't have to pay taxes and don't get sued for monopolistic tendencies that have led to the destruction of department stores and the retail industry.

Bezos is using the Amazon Email lists to send out daily Anti-Trump hate and propaganda as “The Top Stories of the Day from the Washington Post”.

Trump SHOULD cut them out.

Freedom of the Press does not give the press the right to unfettered access to the people they wish to criticize. These people are complete morons who lack common sense and simple reasoning abilities.

Hey, WAPO, in a fight between Trump and the press, who do you think most people are going to side with?

Doesn't bother me at all, Chris. But you can tune in CNN and just regurgitate whatever leftist talking points you need.

Heck no, it’s doesn’t bother me in the least, given the Post’s penchant for lying to its readers.

TMZ & National Enquirer should only be allowed.

They lead the industry with 20% accuracy and also running at a profit.

serves the media right. They need to learn to report thing that happen, not make things happen. That’s their only “obligation,” as well as fighting subversive ideas like fascism, communism, and Islam.

“Donald Trump just barred Washington Post reporters from campaign events.”

Hooray!

“That should bother you.”

Only if I thought they were a legitimate newspaper.

I’m sure the Washington Post “reporters” will be able to fabricate anti-Trump propaganda without attending campaign events.

So sayeth the Washington Post.

The Washington Post has a team of 24 reporters whose job it is to take down Trump. Trump said in one of his speeches at one of his rallies that they are going to put all the negative stuff they can find into a book!

How many reporters are assigned to Hillary Clinton? Why isn’t the politics’ section littered with negative articles about Hillary? Why are his statements spun and taken out of context when I don’t see that with her? I will give them that they occasionally do write a fair article on Trump and occasionally do write a negative on Hillary, but that is the exception rather than the rule over there. They churn out negative articles on Trump at an alarming rate.

They don’t even need to attend in person. The rallies are streamed over the internet.
