Trump the Press

Well that was interesting.

President Trump's press conference was rambling, unfocused and utterly brilliant.

As noted in this space during the election, if you are the GOP nominee you're running against the media. President Trump has been marinating in the NY media scene for fifty years and understands media better than any of those shit-heels at the press conference yesterday.

Jim Acosta who Trump turned into a stammering idiot last December, was actually kissing his ass yesterday. It was glorious.

I watched the press hector and belittle President Bush for eight years. I once saw a press conference in which four different times they asked if he was going to apologize to families of soldiers killed in Iraq. Don't get me started on Katrina.

Seriously, what does President Trump owe them after the election? Nothing. Note in that clip above how Jim Acosta is desperate just to get a question. That's about access and prestige, 'Look! I got a question at a presidential press conference!' So President Trump has been hitting them where it really hurts. He's given questions to the New York Post, the Daily Caller, the Christian Broadcast Network, etc etc. Just watching the media freak out over that has been glorious.

With apologies to the great John Nolte, from whom I am stealing, I better call a doctor because this erection has lasted more than four hours.
