"""Trump threatens to cancel White House briefings because it is ‘not possible’ for his staff to speak with ‘perfect accuracy’""" President Trump threatened Friday morning to end White House press briefings, arguing that “it is not possible” for his staff to speak with “perfect accuracy” to the American public.

Trump's comments come after his description of his decision to fire FBI Director James B. Comey in an NBC News interview Thursday flatly contradicted the accounts provided earlier by White House officials, including Vice President Pence, exposing their explanations as misleading and in some cases false.

I wish he would put an end to their daily gotcha questions. I’m tired of how the elite media tries to throw it’s weight around on us and the President.

I’d like to see the Press Secretary answer each “gotcha gaggler” with something like:

Oh, bless your heart! There you go again...

There you go again. If you can’t you remember your OWN questions, why don’t write them down?

Now, that’s one silly question. Are you “stuck-on-stupid”?

I’ve been thinking the same thing and it’s about F-ing time.

these “briefings” have become nothing but another forum for the enemedia to attack Trump.

However, I would keep the “breifings” but simply not allow questions. Trump press aides could simply hand out written statements and leave, or they could read the statements out-loud and THEN leave.

they aren’t briefings... they are arguments and quarrels, like with a spouse who has a rage on. Trump’s press people should recognize it and call it out before answering. they need to quit mind reading and fortune telling.

We and the rest of the 62 million Trump voters, do not need the left wing mediots spinning and lying about what Trump is doing and saying.

Cancel the press briefing bs, tweet us and use email and the White House web site to communicate with us.

See if the mediots can live without us.

Macy’s, Nordstrom’s, Target, JC Penney’s and ESPN are not doing very well without us.

$crew them!

Boycott them and see if their advertisers want to waste their $’s on the snowflakes and the EBT Never Trumpsters.

When something big happens hold a press conference and...

Have a video-report, no reporters...put it on the internet.

Ska-rew the "media".

Major Garret pontificates that the WH must give them information because they are the go between the WH and the American people.

Says who Garret...the DNC?

Good idea Mr. President.

Shut 'em down.

No sense in wasting valuable time with a bunch of antagonistic A$$HOLES.
