Charlie Daniels on Trump’s Press Conference: Most Politicians Fear the Media; Not Trump
CNS News ^ | 02/17/2017 | Charlie Daniels

This week I watched a press conference with President Donald Trump and a room full of the international press corps, and as one who has been watching presidential press conferences for the better part of my 80 years, I'll have to say that I've never seen anything like it.

First of all, Trump totally controlled the event from start to finish, called out media outlets for

what he considered dishonest coverage, refuted stories, networks and reporters, admonishing them to be honest in their coverage and just report the news instead of coloring it.

It seems most politicians fear the media, or at the very least they are afraid of offending their sensibilities resulting in negative coverage. Not so with Trump, who spoke his mind, refused to let the reporters gain any kind of control or authority and limited their questions when he felt they had said enough.

Trump enjoys it.

His experience for his life has set him up to do this, and actually enjoy it. He does not fear it.

Obama and hillary didn’t fear the media. The media feared them which is why they did their master’s bidding for them.

Only God knew the experience with the Media Donald Trump had for 60-some odd years would make him fearless for such a time as this.

The press conference was great. The press were like battered women. Kept coming back for more.

The Donald went down to Washington,
He wanted to make good deals,
but they weren’t kind,
He knew their line,
all they wanted to do was steal.

Very good.

But I don’t know, I’m just a simple man, but what this world needs is a few more rednecks.

I think Charlie Daniels is a great man and I know he has a heck of a sense of humor, so he’s got to be getting a big kick out of this guys cover of “The Devil Went Down to Georgia”: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u1hnBv12-uk

They say, “It’s news! News!”
But it’s really fake news
I don’t why they have to lie
And tell fake news. Fake, fake news!
They only want to tell fake news!
Yeah!
