(FILES) The building of the Washington Post newspaper headquarter is seen on K Street in Washington DC on May 16, 2019. US media are bracing for the White House return of Donald Trump, who previously helped to boost news consumption but is now prompting outlets to protect themselves from retaliation -- legal or otherwise -- from the famously grudge-bearing Republican. News organizations are girding themselves for a legal assault from Trump personally, as well as federal agencies that could theoretically frustrate broadcast licenses, comb through tax affairs and otherwise make life difficult for organizations that do not toe the line.
