Trump’s presser was entertaining.......I watched the whole thing. Red meat for his fans......the MSM didn’t like it so much, but they are learning.

The era of oscitant press conferences ended on January 20, 2017 - thank God!

The Prez presser yesterday had media on high alert. Not one snooze, no disinterested yawns were there. President Trump scolded, cajoled and disciplined the gathered recalcitrant school children, teaching them lessons in manners and decorum for the entire presser.
The pressers were alert, mouths gaping, sensitivities stunned, not a single oscitant, smug wastrel among them. The Prez held school and cracked some knuckles, even paddled a few bottoms and put the dunce cap on at least one smart alec. It was a sight to behold.

Well, every now and then they do get something right (er, correct) about the western civilization. But that’s just an Occidental mistake by the oscititally-obsessed media usuallyfocused on Hollywood nudity.

The media is left-wing predominant
Big government hacks, never hesitant
To demonize Trump
So they lie and they dump
Ever ignorant, puerile, and oscitant

The interaction energized me. I enjoyed watching the fake news imagine that they were “putting Trump in his place”. They genuinely believed they were taking him down in our eyes by showing us that he wasn’t following proper protocol.

No one who attended or watched Trump’s press conference yesterday was oscitant.

But we’re all yawning at the fake declarations by the worthless press that the news conference was “unhinged” and “rambling”!!!!

MSM was clueless. Bernie Goldberg, too....what an idiot he is about all of this. Trump isn’t following the rules.......he didn’t get elected following their rules, why start now?

Trump’s lively presser woke up the normally oscitant Shepherd Smith who was sputtering in the 2pm (central) hour, “But, but, but, he stood there and told lies!” I switched the station on the radio. When is FNC going to put Shep to bed forever?

Word for the day haiku:

Left wing press toadies,
oscitant with Obama,
go nuts against Trump.
