No, one would think not, and therefore that raises the issue of whether this is just a a messaging effort aimed perhaps at ginning up his base, because we are, after all, a little more than six weeks before the midterm elections.
Now, to be clear, I mean Trump clearly has enormous hostility to the press, but we don't know specifically when these outlets are purportedly going to be banned, if and when

Um and that it the chatbot had, according to CNN, inaccurately ID'd the material that this Chinese ship was carrying.

Yes, and I think that's a very plausible thesis.
Donald Trump has for a long time looked at the stock market as a barometer of economic success and therefore of his own economic success.
It is true that the stock market has done much better recently than most some other areas of the economy.
