As his hopes of occupying the oval office recede, Donald Trump’s list of people and institutions to blame is ballooning at a rapid rate.

Over the weekend he launched a sustained attack on the media, which he says is out to get him. At a rally on Saturday he threatened to ban the New York Times from the press pack covering his campaign; on Sunday his twitter feed was overwhelmingly devoted to press-related insults, charging that “if the disgusting and corrupt media covered me honestly and didn’t put false meaning into the words I say, I would be beating Hillary by 20%.”

It’s not the first time Trump has attacked the people who have covered his campaign. Trump supporters take for granted that the media hates them, doesn’t “get it” and is part of the elite that is ruining America. He’s been banning reporters almost since the moment he declared his candidacy; according to the Washington Post, which he banned in June, the list includes reporters from Gawker, BuzzFeed, Foreign Policy, Politico, Fusion, Univision, Mother Jones, the New Hampshire Union Leader, the Des Moines Register, the Daily Beast and Huffington Post.
