Looks like the aspiring authoritarian will have to take his ball and go home.

Trump believes in free press, sure, just not *a* free press. https://t.co/pSyy3sdDje pic.twitter.com/lva0WAx5Ta

Parting food for thought:
Honestly, if Trump hasn't blacklisted your media organization at this point, you should question how well you've actually covered him.

It’s one thing to call out the Washington Post for a crappy headline. But is revoking their credentials over it really the best way to take the high road?
On a day when Trump wants to look tough on national security he bans the Washington Post from his events for being too mean to him. Awesome.
