Hold on now, oh ye of little faith....don't second-guess Mr. Trump.

He's playing it just right banning the Washington Compost only. Why throw in the NYSlimes or any other fishwrap at the same time???

The strategery is to isolate ONE enemedia, throw the book at them, and follow through with banning at every event and press conference.

Banning is serious stuff in the journalism world....and don't think the Slimes and other rags aren't going to NOTICE what's happening to their DC Post partner-in-crime (which rag now no longer has ANY access to the hottest news source in the world, the Donald !)

This is putting an Alinsky tactic to good use by our side...i.e., deal with the bias problem by attacking, isolating, pressurizing and even eradicating if the problem persists.

Brilliant!.....I love it!

I think the WaPo issue is based on several particularly egregious outrages, such as the headline about Obama involved with Orlando.

Just because Donald Trump does not talk like a well practiced career politician, I never under-estimated his intelligence and cunning. No one gets to be a Billionaire in the construction business by being stupid.

Isn’t a post some place to tie up a donkey?

Seriously, the media are not just a neutral third party in the coming battle. They are co-conspirators in a revolution vs counter-revolution paradigm.

This is a big part of what needs to change — too bad for you, media, your reign of error is about to come to an end.

Just because a Leftist (Bezos) is rich doesn’t mean he gets to pretend he’s a journalist.

When trump said he contributed to hillary’s campaign before and democrats in NY because he had to do business there, was that an indication of a lack of integrity?

Because the ComPost is closer to (and speaks to) CONgress.

I was just reading a report on how he failed and Hillary was so much better in her response to Orlando event.

I got more angry with each paragraph...

FINALLY I SAID TO MYSELF “WHO WROTE THIS ****?”

When I scrolled up and saw the POST...I jammed the close X so hard it is a wonder I still have a keyboard!

They were way out of line and I am glad if their credentials are removed! GO TRUMP!!

Yes. It's one reason I don't entirely trust him.

How about it?

The man donated to some really vile Democrats. He's going to have to live with that fact.

Only God is perfect. Trump has his flaws. Deal with it.

That is all.

***Banning is serious stuff in the journalism world...***

How many times I told my son how much I wished Geo W Bush would do the same... Creepist David Gregory would stand up at Bush press conferences and ask 3 minute questions which were mostly an harrangue stating viz: Now that the whole country can see that you are a lying incompetent sleezebag incapable of doing the job... blah, blah, blah. Bush would just handle it as if it was all quite reasonable. He should have suspended Gregory's credentials and told NBC to send a real journalist.

...and then NBC wondered why Gregory could not carry Meet The Press...

This will cost WaPo millions in revenue, which makes me happy : )

And Amazon also, I used to look for used books on there if Barns and Noble didn't have them, not any more...cancelled my account, got an email from the Jeff himself, wrote back and told him what I thought of him and would spread the word of how dirty, rotten, evil he is...

Got my new book yesterday: “Clinton Cash” oh boy...it's just not the Clinton RICO mafia crime family that is dirty, it's the House of Representatives and the Senate...haven't gotten any further than that, but when I am finished, I will be posting goodies for those of you that have not read it...

Waiting for the other book, the one the Secret Service Agent wrote, due to me by July 1 they said...
