As reported here on Townhall by my boss Matt, President Trump made a special appearance this evening in the White House briefing room where he congratulated Nancy Pelosi on becoming Speaker of The House while also speaking to his main point of urging Democrats to support and fund the wall.
Trump yet again stated that without a wall, you couldn't have a secure U.S. and Mexico border. President Trump brought different voices to the table by having former, and current border patrol agents there to speak to why a wall is non-negotiable.
"Without a wall you can not have border security," Trump stated, after statements from border patrol officers.
"Without a very strong form of barrier, call it what you will, but without a wall you can't have border security it won't work," Trump added.
WATCH:
Brandon Judd, a 21-year border patrol veteran, thanks President Trump for his support and says walls work.

The mainstream media and especially the folks over at CNN freaked out over President Trump not only taking the podium, but became furious by the fact he took zero questions from the press.
CNN White House reporter, Kaitlan Collins, was mainly triggered by President Trump not answering questions.
She wrote on Twitter, "It’s not a press briefing if you don’t take questions." She was also heard yelling in the background regarding the matter of not answering questions while President Trump and this team was exiting the briefing room.

Brian Stelter, yet again of CNN, also became triggered over President Trump taking no questions after the briefing concluded:
The @PressSec announced a "briefing," but did not hold one. Trump spoke, but left without taking any Q's. A reporter shouted: "Sarah, are you coming back? Are you not taking any questions at all?" She didn't.— Brian Stelter (@brianstelter) January 3, 2019
And more outrage from CNN reporters over the briefing came later:
President Trump leaves briefing room without taking questions -- making it crystal clear that it was a political dog-and-pony show, rather than an attempt to answer questions about opening the government. No questions taken by Trump or Sanders in first WH briefing of year.— Jeff Zeleny (@jeffzeleny) January 3, 2019
There were no questions taken by Sanders or Trump during the first press briefing of 2019.— Oliver Darcy (@oliverdarcy) January 3, 2019
This afternoon President Trump tweeted this video stressing the importance of building a wall:

President Trump showed more restraint than I. I think I would have given them the finger on my way out.
Obama never did have to answer the question about granting cross border authority in Bengazi.
It isn’t a press confrence if reporters refuse to ask the right questions.
“All workers should be considered essential and thus work.”
Nobody who can go home and sit on their butt and still get paid should even be retained.

What happens when the advertisers decide they will no longer waste their ad money to fund whiny and immature mediots?
“CNN is still sore about losing the 2016 election.”
Tomorrow, President Trump will still be our president and theirs.
0 f**ks given by Trump.
I love this man.

In the offices I was in, I can say I got much more done in a shorter period of time than everyone else.
I’d say everyone was too comfortable and had too much time allocated and no incentive to speed things up.
80% of what they got paid would seem more reasonable.
Here is a little bit of background word definitions for our friends in the media.
brief·ing
NOUN
a meeting for giving information or instructions.
“the daily press briefing”
synonyms:
information · orientation · preparation · rundown · instructions · [more]
the action of informing or instructing someone.
“today’s briefing of Nato allies”
did he drop a mic as he walked away? NOW THAT would have been funny!
LMAO
They always let Obama get away with it.

The WH press secretary should establish a policy that all questions must be submitted in writing, no later than 30 min prior to the briefing. Also provide a means for citizens to ask questions via the web page.
Normalize the questions into a re-worded neutral format and then during the question session, read the question and provide the official response and publish to the questions and responses on the WH web page.
Do not accept questions from anyone during the briefing.
Journalists are such an entitled bunch.
They have questions that weren’t rhetorical or cues to launch into monologues?
CNN should be completely an utterly ignored. That activist judge may have forced the White house to allow professional clown Jim Acosta back in, but it doesn’t mean they have to answer any loaded questions he asks. CNN should be forced all the way to the back of the room and utterly and completely ignored, it is NOT a news organization nor does it have anything to do with journalism. It is an advertising agency for communists and other enemies of freedom.
Move them to the OEOB. Traitors shouldn’t be mere feet away from the President.
Their degree is a participation award. You get a summa for being the most disruptive student in class.
