Mike Pence and Rance Priebus were on TV today saying it would be way better to remove the White House press corps from the White House and relocate them across the street to the Eisenhower Executive Office Building.
This shouldnt be a surprise though. Donald Trump has demonstrated contempt for any press coverage he dislikes, openly attacking reporters in press conferences.
The destruction of our democracy marches on.
If implemented, that's a good idea. There is no good reason or need to house the press in the White House. This will afford more space for the White House staff.
Across the street should from the White House should meet the needs of the press.
That's right. Just poke the dragon. The press with time on its hands and limited access is an invitation to trouble. I give it a year tops before all hell breaks loose if no olive branch is forthcoming.
I doubt it will take six months.
But I bet the knife will come from the Republicans. They're not going down with Trump's ship of fools.
Even Melanie knows that that moving all their gold-painted furniture to the WH is a waste of time.
I don't see how it matters if it is in the WH or across the street other than the "Sorry I couldn't make lunch, but I had to go to the White House" factor.
As bad as the news media is I can't say I blame him. can't believe anything they say and instead of reporting they want to throw their opinion on everything.
No surprise there. Fascist cheeto. They must have been bullying him... he needs his safe space after all.
His skin is so paradoxically thin you can make a case for whether or not it even exists at all.
He's not going to do it wholesale. He'll cherry pick who goes, and stack the press room with friendly outlets. He loves attention and the front row on Thursday gave us a taste of who the favored ones will be.
The msm will never support Trump, never, no matter what he does.
True. That's why they need to be booted.

Indeed, they did. They can't be believed or trusted.

Does it really matter ? Why say somthing and have it twisted by others ? I'm not on either side , I'm on my side . But tbh , in this day and age , if Trump needs to go public , on video , he could post on YouTube .
The legitimate press will continue to do their job, regardless of distance, and will serve to inform the few remaining sane among us. The tinfoil-hat-wearing conspiracy theorists will continue to take Trump for his tweets.
