What are you and the rest of the media outlets going to do about it? Are you going to keep sending your reporters up to the White House to be abused for asking questions Needy Amin doesn't like? Are you going to tone down your questions so that your reporters don't get yelled at? Are you going to quit carrying Trump's rallies-in-another-guise live, and just air the pertinent information that gets imparted later?

As long as the news outlets keep playing along with Trump's temper tantrums, they'll continue.
