How did President-elect Donald Trump's first press conference go? He nailed it. It was strange, abusive, occasionally misleading. But he nailed it.
And while the media will complain that he tried to silence individual reporters -- which he did -- the reality is that the conference was about as raw and detailed as you're likely to get from a president-elect. He gave us a dozen headlines from just one encounter. This is the Trump paradox: Trump and the press hate each other yet they feed off each other.

Good one!
Yes, I noticed what you said. That’s why I responded to you.
Trump put CNN and the rest of the msm on notice. Straighten up or else. Next time, he should yank their press pass to any presser.
Folks, I think this was a great commentary. They gave Trump kudos, complimented him, touched on the idea of him giving them ten headlines, and when they touched on the confrontation they didn’t overdo it.
It was a rather remarkable commentary from CNN.
I would classify this as CNN learning something from the exchange.
I held my nose and voted for Trump. Today? Glad I did. He’s the only person I’ve seen, Republican or otherwise, who can go toe to toe with all enemies . . . domestic. Tough as nails. Given DeBlasio, I’m shocked Trump came out of NYC. Maybe three plus decades of putting up with NYC bullcrap bred a tougher candidate. We’ll see where he goes with it, but so far he’s been an easy watch.
Knocked it outta the park!

If lefties were capable of learning, they wouldn’t be lefties.
Reality has never supported any leftist POV.
.
I think in the future Trump should tape off one section in the very back with no lighting for Fake News, CNN, ABC, NBC, MSNBC, CBS, etc. and the rest of the room set aside for real journalists.
I love it ,, a “fake news zone” just like the left likes to put conservative protestors in a chain link “free speech zone”. Maybe like the “crying baby room” at the back of my church..
I agree with both those positions. None the less the commentary did address things the right way.
That is an improvement on their part as it relates to them covering Trump.
The only reason I can think of, would be Trump’s smack down earlier in the day,
Perhaps you have a better one.
.
I have to hand it to Trump; he has literally made the MSM irrelevent with his tweets.
Congress had no power over them; SCOTUS would slap their wrists for trying.
.
I agree with your comments.
Some folks have played up the alpha male term in connection to Trump. I’m not sure what it is, but there is an intangible quotient to him that almost defies logic.
Look at how he rose above the attacks last year. I submit he was the only one that could have. It was very interesting to watch in real time.
Now here we are, and it appears we are poised to reclaim the nation.
Trump’s policies, appointees, short and long term goals convince me we are headed into something akin to a new age experience.
Perhaps that’s too pie in the sky thinking.
I do know that we are in the best position since Reagan, and with Trump’s top level CEO experience, he may eclipse my favorite president.
No offense to Reagan, but I hope he does for the good of the nation.
When Trump is done, I want this nation to continue on solid footing longer than it did after Reagan. I think the Pence pick will help with that.
Good things are coming...
