Trump's tone — and the abrupt end to an unscheduled press availability — are unfortunately par for the course of his campaign and, in all likelihood, his presidency. During the campaign, Trump openly reviled members of the media, promised to " open up our libel laws " to sue outlets that published unflattering stories, and even encouraged his supporters at rallies to join him in harassing reporters sequestered in the press pit. During his post-election "thank you tour," Trump has shamed the "extremely dishonest media." As Mediaite notes, Trump has not held a regular press conference since July. NPR reports that, at time of writing, it's been a full 146 days since Trump last held a press conference. In that same period, though, he's tweeted more than 1,400 times.
