Another day in the life of Donald Trump...he revoked campaign press privileges to the Washington Post newspaper.

This guy is running for the President of the US and he is throwing a tantrum that he isn't being treated fairly. Is this how we "Make America Great Again"?

So much for freedom of speech or a free and independent press.

What a joke.

Do you believe CNN, the Washington Post or Huffington post treats any conservative fairly. Don't blame Trump one bit.

Yeah well...when those slimy fools put 20 investigators on Hillary to dig up everything they can and run crap article after crap article on her then maybe I'd care.

And if what I read is correct on what they wrote Trump said about Obama then I dont blame him for canning them...but dont let me interrupt your diatribe.

But youre right so much for an unbiased and non-slanted press

Is he being treated fairly by them? Never mind all of the other press he lets in though right..I know..Hitler..racist..hates women..ect ect. I better check out this will go down hill fast.

#nevertrump

I believe in the freedom of speech and a free and independent press.

This is also called The First Amendment.

Sure you do...I'll bet you do only when it fits your narrative.

PDX doesnt have the faintest clue what freedom of speech means.

This is how dictators work.

You talking about the media right? Man I need to let this one go..have a great night everyone.

Glad to see you back, FBH!

Its going to be fun watching the liberal lemmings cry when its President Trump.

Thank You jfanet...I wanted to say thanks for the suggestion on the Cavs seats Now they need to pull one of the greatest comebacks ever...so I can witness it.

Have a great night everyone family life is calling.

From your lips to God's ears...and everyone thought I was nuts when I said he could win it...we shall see..I dont think it will even be close.

Have a great night Eve.

Take it easy! :-)

Dictators historically silence any press that paints them in a negative manner.

Trump got his feelings hurt, and he's acting like a cry baby. Poor Donald Drumpf.

Trump isnt stopping the press from writing whatever they want. He just uninvited some of them to his press conference. But he certainly didnt stop them from writing anything.

Obama let all outlets cover him through both campaigns, and he received worse treatment than Trump has.

#Weak

Yes, your argument is weak. You have to change the subject because you are wrong.

What is kinda funny is he tries to talk tough and project this "don't mess with me" image. But, then he gets all butt hurt over the press challenging him.

It is kind of funny because the press is the only reason he got this far. They talk about him nonstop. So the irony he hates them now.

Oh, ok.

I may disagree with you on various topics Eve but, I do have the class to refrain from personal attacks. But then again, this is just one of the reasons why I detest Trump's candidacy. He has run his campaign on personal attacks so I guess it has rubbed off on his supporters.

I just get so tired of people complaining about freedom of speech when they dont know what it means.

All it means is the Government cant arrest you for what you say. It doesnt mean you have some right to behave however you want on peoples private property or event. It does not shield you from critisism or consequences of bad behaivior.

If Trump is giving a press conference, he is well within his rights to choose who will attend.

Eve...he is a public figure running for the President of the USA. Of course there will be press who will challenge him just as there will be press who agree with him. It is their job to report it and it is the readers job to digest and decide for themselves. This is why we have free and independent press. It's a slippery slope that if he chooses to do this what will be next?

Personally, I think everybody whether you are on the right or the left should be disturbed by this.

He isnt stopping them from reporting anything. They can report whatever they want. He just kicked them out of his press conference. There is a difference and its certainly not a freedom of speech or a freedom of the press issue.

I believe he's the first presidential candidate in a long time to do this. Talk about acting presidential, and all.

What happens when he becomes president. Time to only approve state related media to report on events in our country?

You guys are crying and making up stuff just to have something to cry about.

See Wiemar Germany, pre-global depression.

Cry cry cry. Still making up stories. What are you going to do when he is President.

How can you report on a conference when you aren't there?

They are going to report whatever they want regardless of if they are there.

Again, amazed this doesn't bother you. I would be just as appalled if Bernie or Hillary did this.

If I was outraged, it would be fake outrage because it doesnt really matter.

Hmmm...with that reasoning then why revoke/ban them in the first place?

It all comes back to Trump acting like an idiot. Again.

I am saying it doesnt really matter to me. There is no shortage of the liberal press at his press conference. I dont care. Only liberals find a reason to get bent about it.

Zero Republicans in the white house press core. When the White house press secretary gives a news conference on behalf of the administration,

There's not a Republican in the room.

So, NOT bigtime inclusiveness.

Wrong. There are conservative leaning news outlets in the corps.

This...just because they are media doesnt give them the right to write phony articles or operate in the way they do...or maybe they do have the right and Mr. Trump has the right to tell them to get bent. No different then Barry refusing to go on FOX news.

And to whoever said Obama was treated harshly by the media has to be the funniest thing Ive read in a long time...he was treated with kids gloves and has been throughout his whole presidency...and to say he was/is treated worse then Trump is freaking laughable.

I heard it more times then I can count...you dont agree with obama your a racist or have nefarious reasons for doing so. The media has tried to destroy the orange Jesus but he just keeps being Teflon Don.

Thats such crap...buddy I was at the rallies in Cali and Arizona and it wasnt Trump supporters waving mexican flags throwing eggs,bottles,rocks ect..spitting on people..assaulting them..destroying peoples vehicles with spray paint and stomping on them.

So give me a break...IF the Trump supporters was doing the vile tactics the left are employing..it would be covered non stop. All I see is some hurt feelings and bunch of bull propaganda being pushed by the left and nevertrumpers.

I would like to thank the bikers who walked with our group to our cars and kept us untouched...Semper Fi Big June

Yeah he doesnt lack interviews with MSM and other Obama propaganda networks. Good or bad he does let the media in and have access...so sorry if I dont have faux rage about pulling the one press pass of people who are employing 20 people to do nothing but try to find dirt...and print lie after lie.

I wish the guy had a more involved vocabulary and didnt believe in so many conspiracy theories but in this matter it pegs the give a crap meter at 0.

Really whatever he wants he gets. Makes you not want to vote for him. Money can't buy you love or happiness. But it can yank out the press.

Yeah I'd want to vote for a loser who cant get things done with no back bone Hey wait I'll take that back...I did puke and vote for Romney even though I thought he had no chance and basically gave the election away...and old ass McCain who sounded like a cheerleader for his opponent.

So I digress I did vote for spineless candidate twice who let their competition dictate the rules...not this time and its kind of refreshing.
