Contributing sentiments towards policy:

41% : "He'll use every tool that he has, and there are many available to him," predicted Marty Baron, the former executive editor of the Washington Post and the author of Collision of Power: Trump, Bezos, and the Washington Post, published last year.
22% : "Trump is salivating at the chance to sue a journalist for a leak of a classified document," Baron said, perhaps using the century-old Espionage Act to exact a harsh punishment, even a prison term.
22% : Baron also sees Trump and friends threatening advertisers whose revenue keeps media companies in business - "and they will run for cover".
21% : Trump's true believers, installed throughout the government, from the intelligence agencies to the IRS to the defense department, will anticipate what Trump wants and be hostile to reporters, Baron predicted.
14% : With an aggressive attorney general - more combative than Jeff Sessions, whom Trump criticized for not being tough enough - that may be doable.
