4. Trump killed press briefings in September

They have not been pronounced dead officially. But there is no prospect of their return.

“President Trump communicates with the American people more than any president in history,” said Stephanie Grisham, who replaced Sanders in July. “The fact that the White House press corps can no longer grandstand on TV is of no concern to us.”

He was also pissed off that SNL made fun of Sarah Sanders. At least he says he was. I think he's just ticked that Alec Baldwin keeps lampooning him, and saw this as a way to bitch about the entertainment show's "unfairness" to himself.

Hey, Stephanie, lying on a daily basis doesn't qualify as "communicating with the American people." Communications involves the transfer of actual accurate information, which is something Fat Donnie is loath to do. Look at his 58 minute self-congratulatory soliloquy after the terrorist leader was killed. Fully half of it was made up, and the parts that were accurate gave military commanders heartburn because of what was revealed about tactics and planning.
