It was great! The best part was the audience was half press half invited guests. So during the press conference portion, after Trump would answer a question, there would be roaring applause. The press had to hate it.

One female commentator/analyst (CNN, IIRC) was asked why they cover Trump so much. She responded that they have to because he makes headlines.

I had Trump's speech on mute but noticed it went on and on. I chuckled and thought, he is still playing the media like a Stradivarius and they are eating it up.
