President just made a joke about journalists. Queue outrage.

President Trump just finished a White House lawn presser and made a joke.
Asked if he'd attend the SpaceX launch of astronauts next week he said:
I'm thinking of going to the rocket launch next week.
I hope you're all going to join me.
I'd like to put you in the rocket and get rid of you for a while.
And with that and a grin, he ended the media scrum.
Expect headlines that Trump wants to end the free press, that Trump is an tyrannic authoritarian. Don't expect observations about crowding him and rephrasing gotcha questions in hope of hurting his re-election chances.

It must be tough to be Press Corps Karens who can't call the manager to complain.  They are already talking to the manager.
