Contributing sentiments towards policy:

71% : (Just 2 days ago, Leavitt claimed on Fox News that Trump was running "a positive campaign based on real joy.")
60% : But if he wins, Trump could make sure this type of suit comes from the Justice Department.
44% : As Pema wrote:It's one thing for Trump to sue CBS as a citizen.
43% : In a way, though, journalists are not special: They are just one of many groups Trump might target in a second term.
38% : And I don't mind that so much," Trump said, when discussing the bulletproof glass protecting him.
37% : It's a warning shot to the media that any coverage Trump deems unfavorable, including an interview with a rival, could land them in court opposite the US Government.
30% : As Dan reported this weekend, Trump told Fox News on Saturday morning, "To make America great, you really do have to get the news shaped up"; later in the day, at a rally in North Carolina, he called the reporters present "monsters," and "horrible, horrible, dishonest people."
14% : And as my colleague Pema Levy wrote on Friday, Trump also filed a frivolous lawsuit against CBS News and sent a complaint against the Washington Post to the Federal Election Commission -- both of which alleged the outlets were favoring his opponent, Vice President Kamala Harris.
