MEDIA/TRUMP AS PRESIDENT: “On Saturday [3-3-18] afternoon, President Trump took another swing at his favorite punching bag. ‘Mainstream Media in U.S. is being mocked all over the world,’ he tweeted. ‘They’ve gone CRAZY!’ On Saturday night, however, Mr. Trump donned his tuxedo and joined the very journalists he loves to malign for an evening of humorous — and sometimes uncomfortable — verbal sparring at the 133rd annual Gridiron Club Dinner.”
