Trump threatening to revoke more reporter's passes including April Ryan

"When you're in the White House this is a very sacred place for me."

Besides mangled syntax, do you see what he is doing? He wants only sycophants reporting on what he does.

to that end, Wiki sez, he created Trump TV last year, run by Lara Trump ( Erik's wife) , produced in Trump Tower and funded by.....the 2020 Campaign donations.
( that can't be legal, can it?)

that will allow Fox, which is defacto state tv, and Trump's own tv via internet, total control over any information.

Shame depends on an inner voice of right and wrong. He ain't got it. Clinically speaking, that narcissism does not allow for it.

Hell, even Thanos shed a tear in this last movie, but Trump just knows "win" no matter who is the way.
