Donald Trump doesn’t hold press conferences, he stages press events. And he doesn’t want you there if he can’t control you.
Shortly after lunch on Wednesday, I checked my email and was told Trump would hold a press conference at his Bedminster golf resort in New Jersey on Thursday. I had until 5 p.m. to request credentials. I immediately did so. Before the deadline to request credentials had expired I received, in damn near record time, a notice (highlighted in red, no less) that my request had been denied.
