Neither the verbose Donny or his Press Secretary have said a peep to the press during his first and reportedly important overseas trip. It is the first time this has ever happened according to reporters who have been covering these trips since the Nixon administration.

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.

Obama was favored by the media, despite being the worst President since World War II, so of course Obama spoke to the media willingly.
President Trump will cancel press briefings entirely, hopefully.
The media have proven to be as evil as ISIS, and show no regard for America's safety.

Speaking less to the press and on Twitter will be a boost for Trump. Just stating that as something factual.

I think Trump is keeping Spicer away from the press. But, really, Trump needs to stay away from the press as well as from Twitter. Things get worse for him (and by entension the country) when he gives an interview or goes on a tweetstorm.

Geez.
Just referring to what President Trump said, that he's considering ending the tradition of press briefings.
And you surely aren't going to argue that the press deserve to be briefed, given their behavior (that even the New York Times editor has apologized for)....

Just another boo-hoo-hoo thread from the always whining and complaining losers from the left. If you clowns want to do a happy dance go read the New Yorker's article on Hillary, I'm sure it will make your Memorial Day a lot brighter.
