If Trump wins, I can almost guarantee you that what we’ve come to know as White House press briefings will come to an end. Instead, Trump will have an unscripted appearance before the press that will come across as an audition for “Saturday Night Live” — and any news organization who he feels was part of the effort to rig this election won’t even be invited. The networks he identified by pointing them out at the Al Smith Dinner in NYC last night will be the first ones on the “dis-invited” list.
He doesn’t seem to be bothered by the press overall.
He talks to them all the time. He stands his ground, and that’s fine.
I don’t expect the press to always agree, and they should ask follow-up questions, but you can do that in a reasoned way too.
As long as they comport themselves decently in person, and write truth in for their publications, I wouldn’t have a problem. Where one or both of those measures break down, I’d have a big problem.
I’d warn them and then cut them off.
He needs to have press conferences, and explain his programs.
He’ll do it.
