Chilling moment from his rally tonight - turning the huge crowd antagonistically on the small group of reporters, then stepping back to sort of bask in the reaction.
But we've gotten used to it. It's what the pathological bully does.
Time to really acknowledge those reporters, though. They go through that just to report - just to do their job, and present the truth. To sit in the middle of that open hostility, completely surrounded, while the PRESIDENT goads people on. Pretty sick stuff, if you think about it.
The vast majority of journalists are professional, dedicated people, who worked hard to get where they are, and work even harder now. The 4th Estate is such a vital part of our democracy & traditions. To see the damage Trump has done to it in such a short time - and with Propaganda 101 tactics - is truly disheartening.
I salute every one of those journalists. Keep of the great work.
