I remember a year or so back, when the administration toyed with closing up the White House Press room, and moving the briefing room to another building, altogether. The media went bonkers.
Believe me - part of the media back when I was young - getting the White House assignment is the cream of the crop assignment. A prestigious status, to say the least.
So, Trump should just tell CNN’s “analyst” that the boycott is a “great idea”, in fact, a reverse boycott - until the media members calm down the hostility, the vitriol, and grow up, NO MORE BRIEFINGS.
Sarah will just pass out written briefings each day, via email, and be done with it.
Pull a “ju jitsu” move, and use their own weight against them!
I agree - what #winning it would be to just say “today’s information will be sent to your news station” and be done with it.

Wtch their heads explode when you tell them that’s there’s nothing about a “White House Press Briefing” or “credentials” in the Constitution.
Trump could cancel and fire the entire Press Office, never hold a briefing, and hide in the White House for his entire term and never answer a single reporter’s question, and it wouldn’t violate the Constitution one iota.
Someone needs to inform these grandstanding jackasses that press access to the President is a traditional privilege, not a right.
But these Numpties have been so entitled for so long because they’ve rubbed elbows with inside the Beltway movers and shakers at cocktail parties and soirees for decades. They think they’re essential.
A press free of government interference is essential. They aren’t.
