While Psaki said Trump interacting with the press was not bad &#8220;on its face,&#8221; she took issue with how it could potentially &#8220;shade&#8221; interviews.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I think the thing that is challenging or concerning, and it&#8217;s hard to even monitor this really, is sometimes people, reporters, journalists talk to a president, and then they feel giddy about it, right?&#8221; Psaki said.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/media\/why-trump-denouncing-medias-iran-war-coverage-too-negative-boosted-rhetorical-fcc-backing\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>WHY TRUMP IS DENOUNCING THE MEDIA\u2019S IRAN WAR COVERAGE AS TOO NEGATIVE \u2013 BOOSTED BY RHETORICAL FCC BACKING<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;They feel like, &#8216;Oh, I can <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/media\/trump-enjoys-messing-with-journalists-scramble-get-personal-phone-number-report\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">call Donald Trump<\/a> and like I can talk to him, and he has given me all this access, and you know, he calls me and teases me about my interviews&#8217; or whatever it may be.
