would be for Donnie Two Scoops to come to the podium and look out to an empty room - except for Fox and Breitbart. They will always show up. The press should boycott him and Sarah Suckabee. They only lie anyway - so there's no news to gather.

Stop saying that.

The press must exercise the Constitutional right of the people to question their president by showing up every freaking day to do so.

Do you not think Trump would glory in a briefing room filled with his stooges and shills and no other reporters?

There is a movement to urge reporters to boycott. The origins of that movement are suspicious -- sort of like Walk Away or DemExit or Brexit. It is rampant on social media.

But it is wrong.

Defend and protect our free watchdog press.

I agree that the press needs to cover him. I guess I would love to see his ego deflated by an empty room.
