Trump calls the media lying scum during his press conferences, then tweets that other reporters who don't respect him or the White House will be next.

Trump thinks the presidency is a kingsmanship.

Trump doesn't realize he works for us.

Trump has never read the Constitution.

The First Amendment prohibits denial of a press pass "arbitrarily or for less than compelling reasons.” Also Trump throwing a hissy fit and revoking Acosta's credentials violates the Administrative Procedure Act, which governs how federal agencies issue regulations and it enforces the Constitutions due process clause.
