It supports what most knew about Trump...he can't handle this job. It only reinforces his incompetence.

In regards to original question, it seems very Stalinesque

He is retreating into his safe space. Now he'll hold a Florida rally to get an adoration fix.

I've never seen a President this dependent on external confirmation. It's almost embarrassing. Actually, it is embarrassing.

He's always surrounded himself with yes men/women so whether they agreed with him or not they played their part in order to keep their jobs. I bet his kids do the same thing - if they don't tow the line "You're out of my will!!!" - and he would. He must punish those that don't do as he says (his final solution).

The media turned propaganda machine 8 years ago and now are in full bloom. The dems pile on and both spread lies and innuendo as they try to find the highest moral ground in their lowland swamp.
Exactly... they have no one to blame but themselves.

They made impartiality unnecessary, so Trump made them....

Irrelevant.

I think it's unfortunate. Many people in the US have valid concerns about his presidency, and if he addressed those directly, I think he'd be able to alleviate some of those worries and/or find some common ground with some of those who oppose him now.

He can easily do it if he wants to. All he has to do is research what those against him are talking about, prepare thorough answers that leave no stone unturned, and then conduct a LIVE interview, preferably also filmed by a neutral party.

Why would anyone concede that? She didn't.....

How about this, I'll concede that Hillary really did win the election if you concede that the Cleveland Indians really won the world series, since at the end of all 7 games, when you add up total points scored by each team, the result was

Cleveland: 28
Chicago: 27

Yet Chicago won the world series, and Trump won the election.... How can that possibly be?

Let's start there.

I think people just aren't used to a president who isn't afraid of the media.


I think it's refreshing. Finally, a Republican who isn't so cowardly and spineless.

Trump continues trend of calling on conservative media
Oh he took questions from CNN today.

Trump did.beautifully. hadn't read other comments yet, heck, I didn't even waste my time with your quoted post here because I already know what it says.

Here's the truth, all of the media besides that one conservative outlet slobbered all over the Clintons and Obama.

What more do you want?

Look at your little snowflake media today after Trump bish-slapped them.

They are steaming from every single one of their pours.
