Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump · 53m53 minutes ago
I will be making my announcement on the next Secretary of State tomorrow morning.

Trump hasn't had a press conference since July. Any "outrage" from the popular media? No. Any "outrage" from the talking chuckleheads who accused Clinton of dodging the press? No. Endless speculation on a certain media outlet about the state of Trump's health? No.
There appear to be two separate standards.

Keep plowing though, and the truth will become undeniable. It's only a matter of when, not if.
