I haven’t seen it.
Apparently the media didn’t like him (no surprise).
As far as rational people are concerned, did President Trump perform well?
All I’ve heard is that he guessed that his EC vote victory was the biggest for a Republican since Reagan, and that this guess was not completely on target (Bush Sr did better).
If that was the “low point” then I suspect that President Trump performed well. But I’m curious about what others thought.
I heard parts of it. He was brilliant.
In particular, he showed that he knows a great deal about how the MSM works, who’s ratings are better and who’s are worse, etc.
He also delivered at least one scathing blow to Hillary, mocking her about her “stupid reset button” with pretty much the same level of snark as anyone here at FR could manage.
There were times in the news conference when he literally sounded like a FReeper, making the same points in much the same language.
A lot of red meat for conservatives. Besides Hillary’s plastic reset button and giving away our uranium (why that wasn’t a big moment in the press at the time), he said something that made me laugh out loud (for real).
He told the CNN reporter that he would no longer use the term Fake News to describe CNN. The reporter smiled. Trump said he was now using the term VERY Fake News. The reporter almost cried.
He started with a long list of accomplishments he made in a few weeks that stunned all in the room. There is no chaos, just a fine tune machine. That the news was chaos and losing all credibility.
He kicked tails and called people out. Those who asked him real questions got great, informative answers. Those who asked him the same questions repeatedly got the Trump treatment. It was very very awesome.
Trump kept BSing masterfully. Kept the press off balance. Gave no info to harm himself or America. Spoke to America. Safety. Security. Deals. Taxes. Obamacare. Vetting. Immigration. His soft heart. Who I am. Who the press is.Funny and amazing. Scored bigly. Do not under estimate his competence! Get behind him. Remind him that America will not stand for him to play footsies with the Swampers of America or the world.
His chances were less than 5 percent to win... he was projected to pull around 321 elec coll votes max. Upsetting Hillary who uncorked the Champain at 4 PM was Yuge - biggest upset in history - the 306 is not the key but rather 306 is the twisted version from the media.

LIVE STREAM: President Donald Trump Holds a Press Conference
Trump should announce a "Three strikes and you're out" rule.
Actually, he was correct, if you look at "expectations".
Think "Not only beating the point spread, but scoring an impressive upset."
Like the the '69 Mets beating the Orioles in the World Series or Namath beating Unitas in the Super Bowl.
I saw it and it was glorious! Trump dominated, slapped back HARD when the press started making false assumptions, leaving the press room whimpering like a little girl.
This is the guy we elected and this is what his voters want from him. He was not tame or reserved as he has been since the inauguration.
Evidently he had enough of being told to calm it down, and he answered a hostile room like the master he is at this. And he had fun while he did it.
God bless President Trump!
Bush Sr won 426 EV's in 1988.
Who was President at the time?
He was calm, pleasant, authentic and devastating. I am 74 and never have I ever heard a President so competently authentic. He does not suffer fools and he so obviously speaks his mind.
I agree with him and did so before he spoke. All he asks for is honesty and he hopes for at least a modicum of good will.
Go Donald! You gave them the truth and they thought it was hell. Old Harry must be grinning from wherever he is.
