Hillary Rodham Clinton has coined a new mantra to describe her opponent in this autumn’s campaign for the presidency of the United States.<\/p>\n

She says Donald J. Trump is “temperamentally unfit” to become president. My sense is that she’s going to hammer relentlessly on that point.<\/p>\n

The Democrats’ presumed nominee has been handed yet another example.<\/p>\n

Trump has revoked the credentials of The Washington Post, banning the newspaper from covering his events.<\/p>\n

https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/lifestyle\/style\/trump-revokes-post-press-credentials-calling-the-paper-dishonest-and-phony\/2016\/06\/13\/f9a61a72-31aa-11e6-95c0-2a6873031302_story.html<\/a><\/p>\n

Trump is unhappy with the coverage the Post is providing for his campaign. He called the paper “phony” and “dishonest.” Sound familiar? He’s said the same thing about, oh, the New York Times, Fox News and CNN.<\/p>\n

He gets his dander up when media outlets report things about his campaign that do not cast him in the most positive light imaginable.<\/p>\n

It’s the modus operandi<\/em> of the presumed GOP nominee.<\/p>\n

As the paper reported: “In a statement, Post Executive Editor Martin Baron said: ‘Donald Trump\u2019s decision to revoke The Washington Post\u2019s press credentials is nothing less than a repudiation of the role of a free and independent press. When coverage doesn\u2019t correspond to what the candidate wants it to be, then a news organization is banished.<\/p>\n

“‘The Post will continue to cover Donald Trump as it has all along \u2014 honorably, honestly, accurately, energetically and unflinchingly,’ Baron continued. ‘We\u2019re proud of our coverage, and we\u2019re going to keep at it.\u201d’<\/p>\n

Does he not get that intense media coverage is part of the deal to which he agreed when he decided to seek the Republican presidential nomination?<\/p>\n

What am I thinking? Of course he doesn’t get it.<\/p>\n

He doesn’t get anything.<\/p>\n

Thus, we see yet another example of his temperamental unfitness for the presidency.<\/p>\n\n
