Trump threatens to revoke journalists' press credentials

10 May, 2018

Tired of negative coverage, US President Donald Trump hinted Wednesday that he was ready to take his battles with the news media a step further by revoking journalists' credentials.
"The Fake News is working overtime. Just reported that, despite the tremendous success we are having with the economy & all things else, 91% of the Network News about me is negative (Fake)," Trump tweeted. "Why do we work so hard in working with the media when it is corrupt? Take away credentials?"
