47. The actual journalists

If you want to call them that. The people who actually write the stories and articles are afraid to have to deal with Trump's crazy cult members.

Some of those members are a part of the GOP, assistants, handlers, private securitiy, campaign staff and PR guys. They are the ones who actively threaten, detain and push around the journalists both physically and figuratively.

Remember the incident at section 60 in Arlington National Cemetery? His campaign staff physically pushed around the staff of the cemetery. They do this all the time to journalists and anyone who may annoy them and Trump. Trump expects them to do that.

Would you write bad press on a guy who physically threatens you, sends his supporters to harass you and who your boss supports? It depends on how tough you are. A lot of people get tired of dealing with that.
