Very good point about the disappearance of the money donated for Haiti aid.

Watched the press conference. He FILLETED them!

One of the reporters asked if all his press conferences were going to be like this and he said “YES!”

He was bringing them to heel.

"So it is with Mr. Trump and the news media, and their volatile symbiosis. Tuesday morning, he was in raging silverback mode, glowering, posturing and verbally dragging the press around his gilded Manhattan lair."

Wonder what would be the reaction if the same comparison were to be made about the current occupant of the White House.

Keep it up, Trump. Any time he bashes the liberal propaganda media it will help with the conservative base.

From the article:

Mr. Trump may dish out abuse to the press, but at least he’s a source of constant quotes. His likely fall opponent, Hillary Clinton, is more polite but also more guarded. (Or as a New York magazine profile by Rebecca Traister this week bluntly put it, “Clinton hates the press”— even if she doesn’t pummel them for the cameras.)

This relative silence has helped Mr. Trump dominate airtime and make the news cycle his floor-to-ceiling mirror. Mrs. Clinton has lately tried to fill the vacuum by doing more interviews; Tuesday afternoon, she phoned in, Trump-style, to Jake Tapper on CNN and Chris Hayes on MSNBC. Both of them led their interviews by asking her what she thought of Mr. Trump’s news conference.

LOL~!

Hillary’s problem is she is forced to respond to Trump.

The MSM hates him but they also acknowledge he is their cash cow.

And they just love covering him.

>>Mr. Trump had nicer things to say about the gorilla.

Because the gorilla is a better human being than most Progressive “journalists”. If a reporter fell into a gorilla pit, I’d shoot the reporter.

And like Jack Hanna said - the 800 pound gorilla can dismantle a green coconut shell with its bare hands while they need a sledge and chisel to do it....

the left would have the United States laid out before them “like a patient etherized upon a table,”

I see what you did there, Prufrock!

Yeah, the stalwarts in the press didn't give a damn about the Clinton Haitian ripoff .. because they're biased haters. It's why they didn't care about a credible change of rape against Bill Clinton but had the vapors over Trump calling a woman 'hon'..

Hillary could be laundering money and selling American secrets for cash and the press wouldn't give a damn - - she has a 'D' by her name... Seems the press is too stupid to connect obvious bias with why their industry is dying and they're being laid off in droves.

Too bad there's not a group that could look into it and save them from themselves...maybe a group trained in 'investigating'...

The Leftist Hillary and Sanders loving media is collectively wetting their pants just like a child who gets frightened when told to grow up.

I knew I had seen that phrase before. I just didn't remember from where. Thanks.
