In a post on his Facebook page, the presumptive Republican presidential nominee said that he would deny allowing the newspaper's reporters access to his events after The Post published a headline that was not supported by the New York businessman's comments.

The headline read: "Donald Trump suggests President Obama was involved with Orlando shooting."

"I am no fan of President Obama, but to show you how dishonest the phony Washington Post is, they wrote, 'Donald Trump suggests President Obama was involved with Orlando shooting' as their headline. Sad!" Trump wrote.

He continued: "Based on the incredibly inaccurate coverage and reporting of the record setting Trump campaign, we are hereby revoking the press credentials of the phony and dishonest Washington Post."

The article concerned Trump's vague remarks during an interview with "Fox and Friends," where the real-estate mogul implied that Obama may have an ulterior motive in his response to the Orlando terrorist shooting that left 49 dead and over 50 wounded on Sunday.

"He doesn't get it, or he gets it better than anyone understands. It's one or the other. And either one is unacceptable," Trump said.

He added: "We're led by a man who is not tough, not smart, or has something else in mind. The something else in mind — people can't believe it. They can't believe he's acting the way he acts and can't even mention the words 'radical Islamic terrorism.' There's something going on."

Marty Baron, The Washington Post's executive editor, decried Trump's decision.

"Donald Trump's decision to revoke The Washington Post's press credentials is nothing less than a repudiation of the role of a free and independent press," he said in a statement provided to Business Insider.

He added: "When coverage doesn't correspond to what the candidate wants it to be, then a news organization is banished. The Post will continue to cover Donald Trump as it has all along — honorably, honestly, accurately, energetically, and unflinchingly. We're proud of our coverage, and we're going to keep at it."

While he's occasionally lashed out at pundits and analysts like George Will and Chris Cillizza, Trump has often praised Post reporters.

In an interview with The Post Editorial Board earlier this year, the real-estate magnate said that reporter Robert Costa was a "real professional."

"Bob Costa is an excellent reporter, I've found him to be just an excellent reporter. I should tell you, because I have to give you the good and the bad. Not that he does me any favors, because he doesn't, but he's a real professional," Trump said.

Still, in recent months, the presumptive Republican presidential nominee has exchanged barbs with Amazon founder and Washington Post owner Jeff Bezos, whom Trump has dubiously accused of seeking to avoid paying taxes.

"Every hour, we're getting calls from reporters from The Washington Post asking ridiculous questions, and I will tell you, this is owned as a toy by Jeff Bezos, who controls Amazon," Trump said in May.

Trump reiterated the claim in a Monday-evening statement.

"The fact is, The Washington Post is being used by the owners of Amazon as their political lobbyist so that they don't have to pay taxes and don't get sued for monopolistic tendencies that have led to the destruction of department stores and the retail industry," Trump said.

Such allegations have been adamantly denied by The Post and Bezos.

The Post isn't the first outlet to be barred by Trump. The New York businessman has also denied credentials to reporters with Politico, BuzzFeed, and The Huffington Post.
