The simmering cold, if heating up with every passing day, war between Trump and the press may be about to turn conventional, with the occasional chance of an ICBM.
Just days after calling out CNN fake news during his first press conference of 2017, Esquire reports that according to three senior officials on the transition team, the incoming Trump administration is "seriously considering" a plan to evict the press corps from the White House.
If the plan goes through, one of the officials said, the media will be removed from the cozy confines of the White House press room, where it has worked for several decades. Members of the press will be relocated to the White House Conference Centernear Lafayette Squareor to a space in the Old Executive Office Building, next door to the White House.
Trump's press secretary tried to cast the possible relocation of the press corps as a matter, in part, of logistics. "There's been so much interest in covering a President Donald Trump," he said. "A question is: Is a room that has forty-nine seats adequate? When we had that press conference the other day, we had thousands of requests, and we capped it at four hundred. Is there an opportunity to potentially allow more members of the media to be part of this? That's something we're discussing."
He added that "There has been no decision," yet but acknowledged that "there has been some discussion about how to do it."
Other Trump staffers, however, explain that it's not business, it's personal. "They are the opposition party," a senior official was quoted by Esquire. "I want 'em out of the building. We are taking back the press room."

I just addressed this issue on a FB group with a liberal. She kept citing the free press, as if that freedom gave them the right to unencumbered access to the White House where they could assemble and coordinate their daily slander.
Let’s just say that i have her quite the screed when she claimed that everybody cares about Russia-Russia-Russia.
BTW, I'd add one more. As passage of a given piece of legislation gets contentious, the Bottleneck will be recalcitrant Dems and those that we are know are UniParty aka McCain, Gramnasty, etc.
Soooo, POTUS DJT should do rally's in their State, don't ask them to come to drum up support for said legislation. Think of it, After loosing MI, do you think Stabenow who is up in 18' can afford the negative press of another huge Trump Rally where he calls her out and ask supporters to melt her phone lines to get her to vote for: Repeal, Replace, Tax reform for Corps etc which in total will benefit all those line guys that voted fot DJT?.
If she does anything else, she can work on her golf swing come Jan of 19'....
Take Back the Press Room!
EXCELLENT CHOICE!
Do it!
As they used to say in Brooklyn: “Throw da bums out”.
One Unisex Toilet....
That’s Hilarious!
Is that anything like a lying fraud infesting the company of veterans and patriots
with phony "war stories?"
(And by the way - snakes are sometimes "venomous" but never "poisonous."
Then again, you've never bothered with things like accuracy and truth, have you?)
Official Washington is being traumatized by the tweets of Donald Trump.
Politico has chronicled the pearl clutching concern by the inside the beltway types over Trump's tweets. It seems Trump speaking directly to the people via Twitter is causing a crisis among mediots, politicians and lobbyists, who just don't know how to handle it as reflected in the article title, Trumps Twitter feed traumatizes Washington.
Yes, that’s a good idea, to move them to a high crime area - as the press regularly denies that “high crime” exists in such areas - that’s raciss. Good first-hand experience for them.
Sounds like a plan.
The solution to pollution is dilution. Trump should load up the conferences with independent media and dilute the hard Leftist-commie representation to about 15%.
The new media would have to be thoroughly vetted to make sure that they aren’t Soros and commie front groups. Good grass roots media would be refreshing.
We might actually get some really good news conferences and good policy discussions. The commie fake news media will look like babies and idiots.
Relocate the press room to DNC headquarters. That’s where they get all their information anyway.
Fake News outlets will be in a quarantine tent outside, in Layfaette Park fitted with a big screen TV
I have read the same advice in the New Testament...2 Timothy 3:5.
Mr. Trump talked about “leaks” from “sources” to the media. Giving the media unfettered access to executive-branch workers is stupid. Out they go!
Another good idea mentioned earlier, reporters and/or employers exposed by Wikileaks as government stooges should be forever barred from the White House grounds, Old Executive Building and other federal buildings, and the minimally refurbished media center on the east banks of the Anacostia River.
Every member of Journ O List should also be barred.
Drain the Swamp! MAGA!
The only hostile party attempting to manipulate and influence the election in favor of one candidate over the other during the election was the alt-left media. They have declared war, not only on Trump, but on every single person who voted for him.
They need to be shut out of the White House, and treated like the enemy they really are.
In addition to freedom of speech argument they will also pull out the “American people have the right to know” what their president is doing and where their president is. They tried this when Trump took a helicopter to his golf course leaving the press corp behind. I agree that the press has become a party unto itself in collusion with another party. I also agree that the amount of press has increased in which 49 seats have simply become too small to accomodate all the news organizations that have cropped up due to the progress of the internet.
If Trump thinks they need to know something, he’ll tweet them. And THEY CAN’T STAND IT! How dare he NOT vett his dispensation of information with them first. LOL! Lovin’ it. Do I have contempt for these assclowns. Uh, understatement.
‘.....the media elites supposed monopoly on news and the slanted version they try to feed to the American people.”......
That is EXACTLY what they do. The DO NOT report the news, the edit and adjust it to get their agenda out. Best thing that Trump could do to the ass-clowns, EVICT them on day one.
