You won't like my world. You are much better off in Trump's world.

If they give the daily statement to the press could anyone stop them from commenting on it ----- No.

Its not likely they will make favorable comments no matter what Trump does. Most have worked for democrat's before going into media jobs. They can't be anything but bias at best because most don't have ethics or standards they think applies to them. They have said as much so it's not like its news. I'm not in the news business either.

Are you saying all his pending lawsuits are not real?

Are you denying his chanting "lock her up" endlessly? Inciting the uninformed
crowds that just wanted to hear that rich daddy is going to save them from the big evil
real world?
What was the msm supposed to report on in your opinion? Because I listened and
heard not one thing that made any sense, build a wall, lock her up , ban muslims? wtf?
We are not living in 1950 for goodness sake.
So when Hillary said open borders everyone who wants to come in that is fine. That made sense to you ?

The press says they are there in case something happens and they can report on it. Yet they have been there so many times and failed to report on it accurately. They show more favor to inventing what happened and reporting with a bias to remove the truth of events.

As far as a daily press briefing. Do we really need one. Why not just put out a daily press statement. That would get the job done. Then hold a press briefing as he thinks necessary to keep people informed on news and developing situations. Trump has no legal obligation to the press traditions. They haven't earned any special consideration. The more Trump communicates directly with the people the better off we will be without the bias added by the press.
How is he supposed to communicate directly? By smoke signal?

They know not what they do...

Like it or not, the viewers are shifting. MSM especially CNN and all the polls looked pretty stupid after the election. Let's be honest, the print media is dying...do people really buy newspapers and magazine anymore?

Be patient with them. It's taking them a long time to eat all that crow

I think Hillary Lovers bashed Trump because like Hillary, if they wished hard enough, they figured she might be the president.... (but the media were the ones that inflated her value and watched as Hillary took her cult lover victims to the brink of despair when she LOST ) You see where "that" wishful thinking got the voters? Wishing she would win??? Now you have a bunch of zombies rioting and destroying their own cities.


With any luck, some of the rioters will get locked in jail, have a full body cavity-search and while their nether-regions are being examined, perhaps they can "examine" why THEY are in jail and I bet Hillary is laughing at them on the TV screen. Wake up! She was NEVER going to be our president. NEVER.

Considering his negative, biased, unprecedented treatment by the MSM, who could blame him if he gives them The Bird for the most part. Just take note of their hysterical outrage when he went for a steak dinner with his family...and left the press behind.

Listening to the coverage since the election, they haven't changed much-all negative, all the time. Not one positive slant from the lot of them.

But remember, when obama would ditch his pool, they almost considered it charming.

We don't have a free press. We have a owned and paid for press.

The rest of your comment is taken as it was meant to be taken

Clearly, voters stopped listening to the constant bashing of anything Trump and I believe they aren't really listening now. Maybe every now and again, as I do, to watch the meltdowns and utter lunacy of the MSM

Trump would love nothing more than to have the Press go away, or only be available when he has something about which he wants to sway public opinion. His use of the Press to incite, manipulate, race bait and deliver a series of hollow promises (and threats) to the masses during the campaign was truly remarkable.


So was Mussolini's.


Be careful for what you wish. This guy is only interested in three things: Himself. Self aggrandizement. And Your money to fund it all.
Oh pleaseee not all New Yorkers feel the way you do . Hillary is NOT a New Yorker and is evil and corrupt . Trump as you know has helped NYC in the past . Stop spreading lies because he has a wonderful life in which most can only dream about he did not need to do this job .

You know good and well she was not for "open" borders, just more lies by the right.
America was founded on the back of immigrants.
Guess you are fine with Trump's lies .
