Weakness invites aggression. Always has, always will.

Trump needs to stay on the offensive. It keeps liberals off balance and makes them think twice before they attack him.

If I were Trump I’d tell the media to go to hell...

In fact, the theory is that the more power a public figure has, the more deference he shows to the media, because the media is ostensibly just keeping powerful people accountable. But we know that that’s not what the media is, anymore!

Is Rush referring to the CNN reporter? There were many journalists at that press conference.

Why should the CNN reporter be treated with deference? He elbowed his way to the front of the line. He was loud and boisterous and demanding that his question be answered above and beyond the other reporters that were present.

Why would anyone even suggest that he should have been treated with deference? There were many others there who also deserve to be treated with deference, especially if they were showing some respect to their fellow reporters and the president elect.

Why Should Trump Show Respect to People Trying to Destroy Him?

Because if he don’t then he’ll alienate the sniveling, spineless, thumb-sucking moral cowards who call themselves ‘centrists’ but never manage to do anything other than sabotage all attempts to fight back against the destructionist left.

You know. Tradition.

I admit I haven't watched many Presidential press conferences after Reagan- except for a few of Bushs' but can anyone remember an incident where a member of the press acted like this toward a President. DEFYING him, outraged that they were 'attacked'?? It was horribly disrespectful of the OFFICE( what we hear we should always respect, if not the man)!

And WHY does the President need a room full of media at conferences? Wouldn't only a few representatives suffice to disseminate the broadcast? Surely there is no rule that a President has to subject himself to unprofessional, rude badgering in the name of news.

When will the “Trump is done-ers” ever learn?!? They have been wrong every single time! Trump is right on again.

Squash, ridicule them, destroy them. Time for hardball—Lyn’ Ted, McCain, Little Marco, Linda, all of them. CNN and any reporters and organizations trafficking in trash as well.

Tough question.
What will infuriate the commie screamers more, show more class than they do or respond in kind?

Hit back and hit back hard. The alphabet media is nothing more than the propaganda arm of the DNC. Hit back and hit back hard. That’s all they’ll ever understand. To not do so is seen as a sign of weakness by them. This is why McCain and Romney never had a chance. They just took it and appeared weak.

“You could see stories about how Obama had a drinking problem, how Obama was gay, the stories that Obama didn’t write his book, that Bill Ayers wrote his books, that Obama’s a phony, that Michelle (My Belle) Obama was not everything she was. You remember all these stories, right? (interruption) No, no. I’m not talking about the birther thing. I’m talking about even the more obscure things that were out there. Various degrees of truth and fiction abound. They’re all over the place, and we on the right have our own underground just like the left does, too.”

“I think theirs is worse and more extreme, but you remember these stories out there. I can remember getting emails, “Why don’t you talk about the fact that Obama didn’t write his books? Why don’t you talk about?” All of this stuff. “Why aren’t you mentioning that Obama is still smoking dope?” That’s the point; we didn’t. We didn’t, Fox News didn’t, nobody, quote, unquote, in the conservative media that you consider upstanding, respectful, authoritative, we didn’t do it. It remained out there. It remained on the fringes. It remained obscure.”

I haven’t listened to this idiot in many, many years. And this confession by Limbaugh corroborates why the guy is an gutless ass that cannot be trusted to speak the truth. He showed his true colors as a scurrilous RINO scumbag during the run-up to the Trump presidential election. Why would anyone care what this fool has to say about anything. He’s just another one of the long list of spineless RINO cucks that was too stupid to recognize what so many of us saw; that Trump was the guy who would save the Republic. Limbaugh and his asinine cuck colleagues tried to do everything they could to bring Trump down. Now that their attempts to destroy Trump have failed miserably they want to jump on the Trump Train to save their incomes.They want us all to forget what they did. But I hope to never, ever forget that when the battle was joined to save the Republic, Limbaugh and so many others of his RINO cuck colleagues were on the side of the communists and the Hag.

Very good point.

Not only should Trump show no respect, but he has every right to destroy them!

Exactly.

For 16 years ‘we’ have been called racist bigots and all sort of hateful insults.

I have ZERO respect for any of these clowns
