Good grief, who needs them. Trump or his spokesperson can just tweet out the information and bypass the dimwits. Faster, more efficient, and less prone to “misunderstanding or misstatements”.
It might be amusing to have visits from time to time of reporters from small newspapers in flyover country. They would get the “scoops” and the big boys would have to cow tow to the little guys for a change. Can’t you just see the NYT begging Podunkville Press for details on the latest hot news story? Should cut the AP’s and Wapo’s b-lls off.
