After making his statement Trump took photographers on a tour of the hotel but his people physically blocked the pool producer from going with them (so no questions could be asked - photos only). CNN people are steamed. I think Ashley Banfield is going to start throwing thing. She used the words "birther crap."

They started giving Trump better coverage when he stopped blacklisting them. They started dumping on Hillary Sunday because they were pissed that the campaign left them in the dark about her whereabouts for 90 minutes.

general horribleness as a human being didn't raise any red flags, but if you embarrass the press look out you're in for it.
