MEDIA/TRUMP AS PRESIDENT/TRUMP PEOPLE: “When Donald Trump’s campaign erupted against Bloomberg News’ decision not to investigate its owner or his 2020 Democratic rivals, vowing to deny the organization credentials, it put the 2,700-person news behemoth in an unfamiliar position. While the president has called White House reporters from CNN and The New York Times ‘rude,’ ‘terrible,’ and ‘third-rate,’ he’s more favorably referred to a Bloomberg News journalist as ‘my Jennifer.’ Jennifer Jacobs, the senior White House reporter for Bloomberg News, is seen within the press corps as having one of the best relationships with Trump and his staff. However, the Trump campaign’s edict against Bloomberg News reporters could have a serious impact on its White House coverage as well, since Bloomberg reporters follow Trump to campaign events as part of the White House press pool.”
