There's a new sheriff in town. Unless the press passes are given out in accordance with a statute passed by Congress, the "traditional" way of getting a press pass is nothing more than an outdated establishment rule that Trump can revoke at any time. Further he can instruct the Secret Service to prohibit anyone he wants from getting within spitting distance of the White House fence.
He’s not a dictator. Also, while some actions may make you feel good, that does not mean it serves him in the long run. Behind the scenes, cold shoulders can be more effective than public banishment.
