It's been six months since the heckling stopped. Six months since the last White House press briefing.... The media loved Donald Trump for decades—when he was an accessible real estate mogul and author, when he was a reality TV star, and whenever they needed a pithy quote about anything. But from the day he announced his run for the presidency as a Republican they’ve smeared him, heckled him and tried to ruin him. Trump has tried dealing with the national media in various ways, including returning their heckles from the stages of his massive rallies. They just go on distorting everything he says and does and giving him no credit for the booming economy or anything else. The media hecklers aren’t helping anyone and never were. By eliminating the White House press briefing, Trump has simply removed the hecklers' opportunities by halting the daily spectacle.

Fine? How can you say the country is fine when liberals everywhere have a massive butthurt?

It was nothing but a chance for these egotistical “journalists “ to get on TV.

Since Sarah Huckabee Sanders departed, Trump took away the media's rude, OpEd-spewing daily press meetings "stage." He holds his own daily “pressers” outside next to his loud, waiting helicopter where the camera remains focused on him - and not on them. They can't preen, cry, insult and showboat, bwhahahahahahah.

He understands how to control the media. There was never anyone like him before, and probably won’t be again.

Country’s doing great. Kind of begs the question of what does the President need a Press Secretary and a White House Communications Office for? He’s doing just fine on his own.
