Trump's problem with the media was of his own making. Trump used billions of dollars worth of free media to get the nomination, then Trump would have gone to the opening of an envelope if he thought it would lead to his winning the GOP nomination. Often Trump would do back to back media slots while he tweeted out late night insults at 2am. Now the media is not so fond of him so his supporters claim? My mom told me when I was small be nice to the people on your way up to the "top" they are the same people that you will meet back on your way down to the "bottom".
