Back when Trump was young he courted the press to make a name for himself which made it easier to borrow money. Then when his projects ended up going sideways, he excoriated the press but still thrived on the attention. He still thrives on the attention but now he demands that the attention be positive. When anyone or any entity points out the emptiness of the emperor's suit, he pouts and whines like a two year old.
No, America, the press is not your worst enemy--not by a long shot. When Trump shouts from the White House lawn that the press is the country's biggest enemy he is once again violating the Constitution. Of course he doesn't care because his supporters view the press as elite snobs who ignore the heartland. Not quite the "nattering nabobs of negativism" as Spiro Agnew styled them, but a more dangerous idea. Who talks about the press in this way, who wants to control the questions and the answers? Even Trumpettes know the answer but they don't want to acknowledge it.
