Limbaugh on Trump: ‘This Was One of the Most Effective Press Conferences I Have Ever Seen’
Breitbart ^ | 16 Feb 2017 | Jeff Poor

Posted on 02/16/2017 1:31:34 PM PST by detective

Thursday following President Donald Trump’s press conference to announce his pick for Labor Secretary, Alexander Acosta, conservative talker Rush Limbaugh applauded Trump’s performance on his nationally syndicated radio show.

Limbaugh while the media still won’t warm up to Trump, it was what his supporters wanted to see, which was a willingness to tout his achievements and take on some of the claims from the media.

Well, to be fair, Rush vacillated a lot about Trump at first.

Rush has said that he never endorses a candidate early on, and that he is heavily criticized by people who interpret that as being against their preferred candidate.

However, when a candidate emerges from the pack to win the nomination, Rush always supports him. Rush's behavior re: Trump is very typical of his behavior throughout his career.

Thank you for all of the nice statements on the Press Conference yesterday. Rush Limbaugh said one of greatest ever. Fake media not happy!

Trump out-maneuvered them in every way possible.

Bottom line, and we’ll hear it out of his mouth at one of these pressers some day, is that they are the media wing of the democrat party.

My wife and I watched it on CSPAN later yesterday and plan to watch it again online tonight or tomorrow.

We were completely tickled with the whole thing. Trump is the man we've been waiting for. He's not whom you would have expected would be that person, but that is what has thrown liberals and NeverTrumpers into the conniption fits we keep seeing.

President Trump showed his mettle as a genuine American leader.

He had CNN’s Acosta almost in tears.

One thing I noticed was that the MSM leftist press is now starting to huddle in a group, their reporters now feel
as if they are under threat, lying cattle surrounded by the predatory truth.. This is a good thing.

They jump up and ask accusatory questions but it just does not work, they are self embarrassed for asking them, clearly sent out by their respective editors to gather whatever scalp they can, they are beginning to look ridiculous. They are indeed “Hateful,” just as President Trump said.

I hope that ABC, MSNBC, CNN and PBS all tank into their collapsing Utopias. The president predicted their demise, “ America does not believe you, they do not listen to you, they do not trust you,we need an effective press in our country....”

The jingoistic propaganda press seems to be doubling down and that means that America is about to reject them.Now the editorial boards of these so called news networks must be purged of utopian liberal fascists, or they will literally go defunct.

Like Bannon, I could care less either way.

Yes, I think Rush is on the Trump Train now. He seemed to be lukewarm during the election, opting for a Never Hillary stance. I think he may have been concerned about Trump’s coattails and possible carnage. After the devastating loss of the Dems, he appreciated the totality of the movement.

I watched the full conference yesterday when I got home. I was grinning for ear to ear. The only thing that would have made it better would be listening to it via EIB so I could hear Rush s immediate reaction. :-). I’m still smiling; it’s a great day today.

He did say that. But, he threw his TOTAL support at Ted Cruz! As I see it, he was a hypocrite. And, even after the primaries, he still berated every pro-Trump caller that go through. His attitude caused me to cancel my 24/7 and I quit listening.

That said, I've come back to listening to Rush, and for the most part, he's become quite the advocate for President Trump.

There is little to be gained from addressing questions designed by the old media to generate the next set of deceptions and lies spewed by the nytimes, WaPo and the alphabet networks. President Trump needs to make certain the New Media sources are well represented to get the truth out to the public. The old media is our enemy and he knows it. Their only agenda item is to DESTROY HIM and the republican conservative base.

As much as anyone, Rush popularized the new media movement and exposed the liars and deceivers in the old media. He did his best to expose the Muslim faggot, but the old media still had the power and money. Kill enemy #1, the old media empire.

curious, where are the Rush haters jumping in and saying they stopped listening to the bloviator years ago. That Rush is nothing but a shill for the GOP............Maybe they’re still in bed.””

Don’t blame them, the old media, the Clinton/Obama crime families, and Soros still have the power to influence not just idiots but also some good freepers. They are masters at divide and conquer strategies.

I was a bit skeptical too. Trump said what I wanted to hear like most politicians on his side do, but words are words, not actions. I voted for him and tried to get others to support him, but he had no record. Now, he does, and his actions prove he may go down as one of the best Presidents in history. He is a General Blackjack Pershing and a true Patriot. God protect him.

Out of decorum, he does not bring that can to the podium. He opens it in the ante-room just prior to entering the room

It goes like this:
POTUS: Let me open this and make the announcement. ‘PhISSSSSSSSH”
Then: “Ladies and Gentlemen, the President of the United States”

“...they are the media wing of the democrat party.”

More like the Democrat party is the political wing of the MSM. The MSM has always shifted Left before the democrats. Being crass opportunists the Democrat party shifts Left to collect the votes the MSM created for them.
