It's outrageous! Trump thinks he can chow down without the media gawking at him from the next table?

I'm calling it Dinnergate!

I don’t think the media got the message they were exposed as collusive frauds and liars to the entire country for 17 months. Can they be so arrogant not to see this?

The press liberals are not to be trusted. They should be kept away from DJT - at least 100 feet as you can never tell when one of them might try something stupid.

I’m surprised we haven’t heard reports of severe flooding on the east coast due to the high number of melting liberal snowflakes from NYC to DC!

I’m inland in south-central PA, so I’ll have waterfront? I’d better be thinking about a boat.

Well, he’s not the “Godfather”, so maybe he doesn’t feel that he needs to keep his enemies closer.

As long as he has the secret service with them I think he needs to continue to ditch them. It plays well in fly over country. The media is ignorant and arrogant, like Barry Obummer.

Good grief .. what a bunch of crybabies.

If they ever print the TRUTH .. maybe there would be no need to have a little more privacy.

These current media people think they’re much too important.

I’m glad the Trump family can get away and have a family night out for dinner. [ His secret service detail was with him .. what more does he need ..??]
