Trump is comically thin-skinned and the press is making him look stupid, so of course he's going to do whatever he can to sideline them, try to lift up those "alternative" news outlets that are friendly to him to take their place, and make up whatever positive spin he can to convince himself, and his followers, that he's on top of his game.

When it doesn't work he's going to get frustrated and bored, and then someone like Jared Kushner will be the functioning president, forwarded in the next election cycle as Trump's successor---And Trumpkins across the nation will fawn all over him, for whatever that'll be worth.  

Hopefully the economy won't be in a tailspin by then, but if it is, they'll have a newly minted democratic congress and senate to blame it on...
