He is a lousy speaker, so really, we're not losing much by having no press conferences from him.

Trump enjoys sparring with the press. I think he secretly likes when Jim Acosta is there so he can trash him.


I wasn't surprised by the thread because odanny started it.


Of more interest to most people were the fake news awards.


Unexpected high traffic actually crashed the RNC website.

and yet we will still vote for him!

Trump 2020!

Presstitutes just want attention: "Daddy! Daddy! Look at me!" Well, maybe just Jim Acosta. He and Trump get the same spray tan.

Obama was always criticized for not giving press conferences, he'd go more than 6 months without one. Where was the liberal outrage then?
