      1. This banning of select news outlets from the press gaggle has been described as authoritarian. True, but it's mainly stupid.

      2. This is stupid because it's so out in the open and transparent. It makes Trump look weak, petty, sensitive and guilty.

      3. All the press barred (except for Daily Mail) have done reporting on Russian story based on leaks from IC or FBI.

      4. Daily Mail, I suspect, got barred because they ran (admittedly unfair) story about Melania.

      5. By his choice of targets Trump is basically blurting out, "That Russian interference story is big, big, big. Leave it alone!" Stupid.

      6. Trump is telling the press: "Keep digging into Russian stuff, give up access journalism & do more investigation." Stupid.

      8. Some people in mentions say this will appeal to Trump's fans. True, but governing means winning over more than your base.

          I think Bannon is betting on the notion that it doesn't. So far, he's not wrong

          governing should also mean/require that you believe and advocate for democracy and our constitution.

          besides governing (something they don't appear to be interested in), Trump zealots aren't enough to win elections

          Governing increasingly means having a base just big enough to allow you to govern.

          Trump can win support by antagonizing opponents. Mike Harris got re-elected that way: he turned attacks on him into sympathy.
