Trump establishes press briefing rules that look very much like the rules we suggested 2 weeks ago

I’m not sure if President Trump is still a reader of Powdered Wig (he tweeted one of my articles to the world in February, 2016) or if his staff reads Powdered Wig (Sean Spicer was a regular reader), but it certainly looks that way. President Trump, as I suggested directly, has established a set of four press briefing rules that are very close to the rules I suggested on November 7, which follow and can be found in this article…. my suggested White House Press Briefing Rules

If I were President Trump, I would introduce a new set of press briefing rules:

An ObamaJudge somewhere is drooling, waiting to issue an emergency injunction against them. They love having Trump president because it makes it easy to know what is constitutional and what isn’t. Simple rule, if Trump does it, it’s unconstitutional. That’s how you get to be a good ObamaJudge.

If any judge throws out his rules then I suspect an end to press conferences until further notice.

If I were President Trump I'd sue your blog-material rip-off scam into oblivion.

And then have you put into prison with mean people.

The rules that were implemented make perfect sense, but “Sleepy Eyes” Chuck Todd is already complaining about them.

If I were President Trump, I would introduce a new set of press briefing rules:

1 - You are permitted to ask one question.
Once you ask your question, turn the mic over to an usher and take your seat. I will then answer the question. You may not ask a follow-up question.
2 - If you ask more than one question, I will answer neither of them, your mic will be turned off, you will be escorted from the room, and banned from the White House for one week.
3 - Should a second offense occur after you have been allowed to return to the White House, you will be escorted from the White House immediately, and you and your network will be banned from the White House for the duration of my administration.

Following are the rules President has now established to govern White House press briefings. Not quite as tough as the rules I suggested, but close:

“1 - A journalist called upon to ask a question will ask a single question and then will yield the floor to other journalists;
2 - At the discretion of the President or other White House official taking questions, a follow-up question or questions may be permitted; and where a follow up has been allowed and asked, the questioner will then yield the floor;
3 - ‘Yielding the floor’ includes, when applicable, physically surrendering the microphone to White House staff for use by the next questioner;

Failure to abide by any of rules (1)-(3) may result in suspension or revocation of the journalist’s hard pass.”
