from all press events if one of their reporters isn't "nice" to him. No White House reporter wants to be the one who "causes" that.

I wish they'd all agree to get tough with him. He's not about to ban them all* becauae then he'd have no audience, and part of his psychopathy is the need for the biggest one he can get.

*Apart from FOXPAC et al, of course. He'd never eject his water-carriers.
