So we should abandon press briefings that are conducted by the free press, for the protection of the American people, because Comrade Trump and his minions are trying to keep us in the dark - really?

Last time I checked this is America not Russia!

The press can write whatever they want, and get away with it too.

Yeah I know it's called the first amendment, if you would ever care to read the constitution!

I suspect the lawyers they hired have all said they need to stop talking to the press as its just going to make their legal defense so much harder. Lawyers don't generally like clients talking to the press at all. Its even worse when you have gone out of your way to attack the press.

If as he says there has been no collusion with Russia then what is he afraid of? Acting like a guilty man to me, which he more than likely is.

Why? What type of spell does Trump have over Spicer? I can't believe Spicer didn't tell him to take his crappy job and shove it when Trump refused to allow him to meet the Pope in favor of Kushner. That was a low blow, even by Trump's amoral standards.

Nah, because they might uncover more of the consummate liar Trump's lies.

Not only is this cowardly, it also a slap in the face to the American people, who have a right to hear from their elected officials as they meet with world leaders on our behalf. This is precisely what is done by oppressive regimes like Russia,Saudi Arabia,etc, and should not be allowed to be normalized by Trump and his minions.

Where is the outrage from the Trumpies whose hair would be on fire if BO had done this?

I'll be waiting for responses.
So ..... I guess we are now all aware that you only watch the Leftist Media that failed to air President Trump's speeches while on his trip. The speeches were available for "the American people who have a right to hear from their elected officials as the meet with world leaders" ..... they just choose to not air them and ***-***-*** about RUSSIA-RUSSIA-RUSSIA and Comey.

My best guess is that the Countries that the Trumps visited were not interested in the American press that feels it is their duty to Take Down the President of the United States - they held no press availabilities that have become nothing more than a Rabid Dog attack on the US President.

The US Leftist Media is reaping what they have sown.
