I wonder which Trumpism would Newt describe the news conference antics with bbc reporter

I take it from your choice of adjectives that you disapprove of the way in which he conducted the news conference. Yes it was very, very different. But, that doesn't mean it was wrong, or bad, just different.
Some have said it wasn't "Presidential". "Presidential" meaning not comporting with the demeanor of past Presidents. And that is a bad thing? Trump is an entrepreneur and a doer not a thinker (an intellectual idiot as Gingrich puts it). Trump is different and he is POTUS, therefore how he conducts himself is "Presidential" by definition. It's just different - a realist's perspective for a change.
No he does not conduct himself in the manner of previous Presidents. As an entrepreneur he is measuring success by outputs not inputs. In this case the input is the manner and form of conducting a Press Conference for example. The output is the behavior of the media.
Bannon is correct, they are the opposition. Trump is baiting the media and they are falling for it. He has them culled out and they are in the spotlight. The disingenuous reporting (fake news) and bias is becoming obvious as evidenced by the most recent polls. More people trust Trump than the media. This trend will continue IMO because of his confrontational style.
Others have said this is a sign of the chaos in his Administration. I say it's a reflection of his entrepreneurial management style. Most observers have no clue what that is and from their naive vantage point it appears chaotic - far from it. They should attend one of my management meetings.
