The press is not free. They have to make a living. This president does not do anything to your standards; he may not even be aware of your standards. So he is not being held in check by the press's standards which may not even match your standards.

I would have to agree with you that when it comes to this administration, it should be the POTUS who does his own briefings. As he knows himself better than anyone else and changes his mind on a dime, it's important that he speaks for himself. Sanders tries but she's just another puppet who can't be trusted.

Exactly how do you keep Donald Trump in check? Who really cares if he is slightly held in check?

By calling out every damned lie. I'd start by asking him when did his private investigators return from Hawaii and what did they find that was so unbelievable.

They have missed so many opportunities to hold his bone spur feet to the fire. I'm not kidding about asking him about those private investigators. Why has no one done that publicly? They should also laugh out loud at Sanders and Trump every single time they lie.

He doesn't own that residence, we the people do. If he wants to shut out the press, let him move back to Trump Tower.

But the press should not even show up for the bull **** lies and rely instead upon other sources.
