That's what I like about President Trump, he always gives the benefit of the doubt to people.

Until they prove themselves unworthy of it.

President Trump trolls them so well. And the media never figures that out. Yet, they claim he is the dumb one...

30%? Trump is in a generous holiday mood. I’d put the actual number closer to 3%.

FOX news made up more than 30% of the press pool? Isn't that a lot?

Sorry Mr. President, I think you’re shooting about 29% too high.

Then, MAYBE, they should be called upon more often; while the rest not so much, *IF* let through the door to begin.
