    Why does Trump hate the media? Because yesterday he met with a large contingent of leaders from HBC's and all anyone can talk about is Kellyanne sitting on an Oval Office couch with her shoes on to take a picture.

    Seriously? Try a search....20 headlines about Kellyanne's shoes, and nearly impossible to find the reason WHY Trump had all those people there in the first place.

    That's not why he hates them, he hates them because they say mean things about him and it hurts his feelings.

    Depends on who it was, if it was a ton of people I might look in the mirror.

    Duck he isn't doing anything to impinge on the freedom of the press. They have the right to print what they want as long as it's not libelous or treasonous. He has the freedom to chose who he wants to speak with/to. Didn't Barry do the same to Fox?
    Now is it good policy? Me thinks not in general though this press corps is so rabid it may not be the worst thing he could do. Trump's thin skin will get him in more trouble than just about anything else he does.

    Grow up Duck. Every president has tried to manipulate the press.
