Questions for a candidate perhaps— from the most hostile of inquisitors.
But none suited for PEOTUS

Look at the LAST TWO WORDS (above) and that’s all you need to know regarding media bias. It doesn’t prove the media is left-wing, there’s plenty of other evidence for that, but it does prove that the people in media DO NOT see their job as simply ‘reporting news’, they see it as some kind of unelected, unaccountable, shadow government.
Obviously Trump realizes the same, so it’s GAME OVER for them, at least while Trump is in charge.
I can tell you that the only stupid questions are the ones that are never asked.
Former White House staffers giving suggested Trump gotcha questions to the media? And they wonder why conservatives don't trust the media.
It’s pretty obvious from the tone of the media since November 6th, that they are not going to respect him. I don’t know (nor do I care) how the citizens of this country will react if Trump simply bans them from the press room and only speaks to those that have shown deference to his office.
That might mean that only about three outlets will be there - and he will be accused of ‘preaching to the choir’ . . . so be it. Something needs to be done to reign in the purveyors of fake news.
Sure, just like they asked these questions when B0Stevedunhambarrysoetorobathhousebarryhusseinsoebarkah was “president”:
“You said you opposed gay marriage in 2010 — why did you change?”
— Is Brennan a Moehammedan? How did Huma Abedin receive top secret clearance? Do you not trust the U.S. intelligence community after WMD’s in Iraq? If you don’t, who there is the problem?
—When was the last time you read the U.S. Constitution to find a way around it?
—Did any Saudis provide you debt relief during your student years? If so, what were their names?
— Are you planning to infest all of middle America with Moehammedan and drug gang invaders? Who pays for this? How much more will it cost than construction for a wall?
—Are your non-elected family and staff going to fly Air Force One for lavish vacations?
You promised to bring back jobs yet there are still over 94 million Americans out of the work force and homelessness is on the rise since your inauguration. What do you think has been your biggest failure so far?
“Have you stopped being a racist?”
“Have you stopped hating women?”
“Have you stopped being a paid Russian agent?”
I think a good question for Trump is: “Is Russian President Vladimir Putin an ally?”
Good question, and the answer should be that Putin is a patriot who loves Russia, while President Trump is a patriot who loves America. Since our two countries have many interests in common, particularly crushing terrorism worldwide, we should be able to work together positively in the areas where our goals match.
Are these the kind of asinine questions that make you distrust the media and consider them partisan idiots?
How else can you learn anything by asking questions?
Of course, ‘too’ = ‘to’. Duh.
The media and left has been in attack mode, why should he answer a damn thing until he is inaugerated.
“Trump has not held a formal news conference for six months.”
Obama never had one in 8 years.
I thought that whatever airplane the POTUS is on, was considered Air Force One.
Trump shouldn’t take ANY questions from any media organization that was exposed by Wikileaks to have been collaborating with Clinton. These organizations ought to be treated as advocacy groups rather than as journalists, the profession they have long since abandoned.
The changes that would have to occur in places like NYT, WaPO, CNN, etc. are so comprehensive and profound that there’s no way they are going to adequately adjust to reality by three days from now - and odds aren’t good that they will be able to do it given three years from now either.
Trump could massively overhaul the industry by choosing only actual journalists (AKA people who would never be hired by CNN) to invite to press conferences. While there would be the usual cries of “dictator!” from the usual suspects, the difference in the quality of questions would quickly end any serious opposition to the move.
If someone told me how many seats needed to be filled, I could put a list together easy.
"Mr. Trump, has the media been fair to you?”“Mr. Trump, have the Democrats given you a fair chance to fulfill your mandate?”
See, it’s easy. Journalists know exactly how to do it - they do it all the time when questioning a Democrat.
Same question directed at a Republican - well, it would never happen.
I would be mildly surprised if the new conference on the 11th actually happens.
