Trump wants to BAN WaPo's Philip Rucker & Ashley Parker. BAN, I tells ya. He's havin' a big sad.

Donald J. Trump
@realDonaldTrump

The Washington Post’s @PhilipRucker (Mr. Off the Record) & @AshleyRParker, two nasty lightweight reporters, shouldn’t even be allowed on the grounds of the White House because their reporting is so DISGUSTING & FAKE. Also, add the appointment of MANY Federal Judges this Summer!

I've seen a number of Rucker appearances on MSNBC. He's what I'd call "professional and unassuming." Some of their guests are clearly relishing the drama, but Rucker comes across as a textbook "serious journalist." As such, he's sure to be supported as Trump ramps up the rhetoric.

He was originally enraged by the Rucker/Parker WaPo piece, but then the Examiner offered a "rebuttal," and Trump went all tingly over it (he links to it in his tweet, and I'm clearly not going to excerpt it here, because it's "Republican talking points." But he felt "vindicated" and went on the attack.

judges is a threat - one made in direct response to what is now a real threat.

He's been exposed for real. Shown in indelible, permanent ink as the child he is.

And he is ENRAGED. Now is when the world should begin to fear. This animal is now cornered.
