10. Trump cuts off journalists who ask
Fri Feb 27, 2026, 05:50 PM
Friday

questions that he doesn't want to deal with. Then he berates them with personal attacks on the journalist and their employer. Afterward, he refuses to call on them ever again.

What if journalists united in asking one or two questions on topics that Trump tries to avoid? When he shoots down one of them then the next one would ask the same question. On down the line.

After the second one, and certainly the third one, he would have a tantrum. He would turn to Fox or other RW journalists and avoid the rest.

Such actions would get a lot of attention. If the question was one that the public wants answered, like the Epstein files, Trump's behavior would expose him even more to public dissatisfaction with him.
