have to answer some of the questions from the MSM channels?

Don't you guys see it as weakness to not be able to even handle and confront the media? I think it is
a sign of weakness and Trump is surely splitting the US even more by playing these silly mental games with the media, very elementary school stuff.

He should man up and face them head on .
I didn't vote for him.

He is facing them head on. If you are a reporter who is chasing an agenda, he's not going to treat you as a reporter. It makes sense to me.

First, you are awful at having a deep discussion when you lure people into your home for dinner. You can't throw such meat out but then respond with such short answers and or respond with a question of yours.

Secondly, Trump has always had issues with the media. If it wasn't MSNBC, it was Fox at one point.

Thirdly- you seem so surprised as to what Trump is doing when he has been doing everything he did as a candidate. This is something that many liberals can't understand- that there are people like trump who just don't care and will do things just to fux with you. He is a New Yorker and wild.

The problem people seem to have is understanding that you can't have "politically correct change". Meaning, it's either you an erratic pitbull or you are a political hack with no backbone. Rare are you both. Rare will you have a straight shooter who can be mainstream.

Democrats have a hard time connecting the dots and understanding human dynamics. They are so surprised at how trump is continuing to be a bamboon- as they call him. He may be a baboon for some and savior for others.

Why should he take questions from the liberal circus media who only wish to bash him and spend every waking moment on their news outlets like CNN demonizing him?

The last question he answered was proven to be lie (told about Flynn 3 weeks ago) so he knows it is best for him not to say anything. The truth and Trump goes together like sardines and wine.

There's no such thing as "liberal media," just not nutty right wing fake news media like Fox News.

I loved the one where some foreign reporters asked Trump some serious question , and he answered by saying that he won the election by 320 electoral votes, the largest ever. He didn't even try to give them a reasonable answer.

The man has the intelligence level of a 3rd grader, that is why he avoids any and all questions from people who simply are looking for answers that we need to know. He is as dumb as a rock. (sorry rock )

If she had cried, you could bet everything you own that the leftist news media would have been sympathetic and attacked Trump, which is another reason I was surprised she didn't break down.
He was also going to appoint a special prosecutor on day one to lock her up. I missed when he followed through on that promise. As usual, he played his supporters like a fiddle.

Much of the media has brought it on themselves, actually being news makers instead of news reporters because there is either not enough work or not enough talent to go around. I'm sick and tired of everything being presented as a scandal and for that reason no longer follow print news or watch too much on TV. Of ANY political persuasion. NEWS SHOULDN'T HAVE A POLITICAL OR IDEOLOGICAL PERSUASION. Many of the big online names are overly progressive and unreadable, and all talking heads are smug. Did I say SMUG? I can't stand it.


When I do read or watch I have to go online after to find multiple sources on whatever topic just to satisfy myself that I'm getting the whole story.

He shouldn't, he should bar the MSM outlets that have been lying to us for decades with Fake & Biased News from ever setting foot near him.

24 hours a day....All CNN does is viciously attack and demonize Trump....24/7. The hate and intolerance coming out of the ass of liberals is mind numbing.
