I caught part of Trump’s press conference. I must own that despite Trump being Trump, I have some sympathy for him in this regard; many of the press corps actively campaigned against him, and now they’re publishing unsubstantiated allegations.

Has there ever been an incoming president who has faced such a hostile press corps? If so, what did he do about it?
