He can do it all himself by Twitter. It will be great.

Really, why should Spicer and Huckletits (that's what you think her name is, right?) get all of your air time?
No way. You've got to claim that, buddy!

(7,520 posts)bi-weekly press conference! It would be so comforting to hear your manly voice, and as you stride in the room, every female reporter will find themselves ovulating and secretly wishing they were your wife, every male reporter will be erect and wishing they could be one tenth of the paragon of international businessman that you are! Everyone will be happy and smiling as you stride into the room to a peal of trumpets and a children's choir, golden, full head of hair catching the light and fluttering attractively, goldburnished in the setting sun. You will put your extremely large hands on the podium and the fake press will fall to their knees, absolutely rapt with the wisdom you choose to present them even though they don't deserve it!
As you finish, and (failing) CNN's Anderson Cooper returns after your presser, he will comment with a sparkle in his eye, "Trump completes his press conference, and, sidenote, I must say he is reportedly in his 70s, but, damn if he doesn't look a day over 40. What a great suit he was wearing! We don't even need to comment, let's just play the entire thing again!"

(38,187 posts)during her "stories," (soap operas), she will cuss extremely loud and for an incredibly long time every couple weeks.
With Trump deciding to shovel his own BS, it will be easier for the WH to keep the lies straight. Right now, all of his lackeys aren't lying convincingly enough and sometimes they veer off message from what he wants to try to convince everyone to believe. This way, he gets to keep the lies flowing from a single source. This is his version of "lawyering up." Only in this case, he will be controlling the flow of BS to try to fool people into believing what he wants people to believe. Only thing is, we all know he lies more than any of them. So, even he will contradict himself from week to week, then deny he ever said stuff he actually did say when it is convenient for him.
TL R version:
-When the WH interrupts TY&R and that other soap opera she watches, my aunt will now cuss longer, but less frequent.
-His BS peddlers weren't lying as good as he does. So, he is going to show them how it is done.

There are better things for Americans to do with their time.
