Oh, almost forgot to add. Only one news person had a reserved seat at the press conference.

And that was the breitbart reporter who was placed in the front seat so Trump could easily call on him.

Its theater.

Ignore the pundits chatting, thats not the topic here. I just grabbed that one because it shows a good view of what I am referring too. I have not watched the video beyond that. And we're trying to discuss facts, not opinions. IE im not trying to convince you based on actual video. Fair enough?



Now, dont believe folks who say the VERY next question was from breitbart. its a question or two later, and I'd say its pretty co-ordinated, but that's opinion. Heres the video:

Having supporters at a press conference is not the norm anyway. These were ego props for Trumplethinskin.

Seriously. You need to take a chill pill

You mean the same way that you and your ilk were blinded by Obama? Notice what I did there --- I said "Obama". I didn't call him any names.

So many of you are allowing Trump to live in your heads --- and rent free to boot! I'm sure Trump is loving every minute of it, too

If you want the audio I was discussing, you can find it here, PBS provided stereo sound 59:10 minute mark to hear the clapping from one side-also at the start of it you can see where the aides were.

One thing at a time.

Clapping:

Unfortunately I only counted 7-8 people in the shot with Acosta. Sure, none of them clapped.

Who were they? Who was all in the room?

Your PBS link shows a wide shot of the room prior to Trump's arrival. I count at least 50 people in that shot. Who out of those 50 clapped? Minus the 7-8 around Acosta who clearly didn't.

I'll need video proof or a list of names.

Simply implying that the aides were in that area and that's where the clapping originated isn't even circumstantial evidence if this was a court of law.

Is that a canned response for the lack of a better one? Really now...when did speaking the truth and common sense become an antithesis to chilling?

Antithesis to chilling.

That's a good band name. Or maybe an album.

Whether they were just props or the real deal, I thought it was odd to present a visual image of the many possible conflicts of interest.

I can see doing this to impress folks with how rich and important your are.

But the goal here is to impress folks with how even though he isn't subject to any ethics rules at all, nonetheless he plans to behave ethically. Always good to know.

Does anyone actually believe Trump is going to turn all this over to those two numbnuts and check in to see how they did in four years? Come on.

The only consolation is that it will be his undoing by attempting it. It is the one reach too far and the American people will not stand for it.

1. The planned attack on CNN, followed up by the question posed from breitbart about doing something about the media.

3. Empty folders that show your work on divesting from your business.

Although if you meant dont feed Trump, that would make sense, cause he is trolling all of us.
The "planned attack on CNN"? Really? Was the CNN reporter in on it to discredit is company? How much did President Trump pay him to play the fool?

Amazing just how delusional some really are.
