1. Maybe it's time journalists and reporters did make it about themselves.

If any of them were to fire back at Trump and defend themselves against his insults they would be defending their profession and their function as defenders of free speech, not themselves personally. So please do make it about "yourself," Caitlin, because that's not what you'd be doing anyhow. I'd love to see someone, especially one of the women he so especially delights in tormenting, get right back in his face. So what if he retaliates by banning them from press conferences or AF1? We've already seen that when people fight back they win, either directly or indirectly (Kimmel, Colbert, etc.).
