“possibly expand the White House press briefing room”
Sounds like he might want to make room for more reporters. The privileged few might not like that.
“This is not a new idea, why the uproar?”
Because there’s a feud between Trump and the msm? Other than that I don’t know what the uproar would be. ;-)
Step 1: Make a bigger room.
Step 2: Put CBS/NBC/NYT/Washington Compost/CNN/HuppPo, etc. in the back corner.
Step 3: Ignore the section created in step 2.
step 4: Set up a rotating system where journalists from a variety of local, international, and non-MSM outlets can get a pass to sit up front.
