That is not a frigging news conference!

[kentuck]

He comes out and the media bow down (literally) before him behind a rope line and he says whatever he wants to say and if he answers any questions, it is the ones he wants to talk about. He doesn't answer anything that he doesn't want to talk about. It is his style of spewing out his propaganda.

It is a farce!

[tulipsandroses]

1. Exactly! I turned it off

I can't. I just don't know why they just let him get away with this crap. Just let him say whatever, more lies - that go unchecked - which just goes to rile up his base.

He's Hispanic, He's Hispanic - He got good grades - In regards to Acosta. WTF??? I just couldn't take it anymore.

6. Would Trump be willing to say the same about the OTHER Acosta (Jim)?

[SallyHemmings]

2. This administration is a farce

[The Liberal Lion]

9. amen

[Golden Raisin]

10. Personally, I prefer to call it a regime, rather than an administration.

Totally dangerous and inept whatever the label.

3. The cult requires a minimum daily dosage of bullshit.

[snowybirdie]

4. So he's off

to the Midwest for two private fundraisers, with one short speech thrown in regarding the new nafta. Who's paying? The campaign or the taxpayers?

5. Trump's all about optics: because of background noise the media has to shout loudly

and sometimes sound shrill, while he pretends to not hear and hear what he wants. Absolutely no respect.

13. This sums it up very nicely

[Boomerproud]

15. I hate Big Brother, Lindsey.

He will never have my soul no matter what you say.

[gordianot]

8. Very similar to his raving with the sound of his helicopter in the background.

Almost with stupid media types clamoring for his attention. Everything about this ass clown is hateful.

[pazzyanne]

11. I gave up watching him a while back.

I figure if he says anything important ( ) I can catch it somewhere else that I don't have to watch him or hear his wimpy voice.

[Initech]

12. One of these days someone *HAS* to blurt out:

If not they're doing it wrong!

[Honeycombe8]

14. I didn't see it, but I've seen them before. It's a speech, with planted questions to reinforce....

to reinforce his message. It's a show. He's a showman.

[MadDAsHell]

16. Presidential communications have been a farce for decades.

The whole idea of the Press Secretary "speaking on behalf" of the President is a joke. No President has said what he really thinks in a hundred years.
