Headline:  “Opinion | After 100 days of chaos, Donald Trump is hitting the media trail”

Subhead:  “You can’t help but wonder if his sudden desire to talk to traditional news outlets is due to his dreadful approval ratings”

“. . .What will the press in this country look like on Jan. 20, 2029, when Trump’s second term comes to an end?. . .”

“He and the administration have kicked the always-neutral Associated Press out of the press pool. Trump is suing CBS. He had already sued ABC. He is trying to end Voice of America. He is threatening the funding of NPR and PBS. He constantly attacks the media — including MSNBC, CNN, The New York Times, the major networks and even, on occasion, Fox News. His press secretary, Karoline Leavitt, consistently demeans the media during her White House briefings. . .”
