Trump might take some friendly advise here...
Yeah...I kinda sorta agree. But enjoy El Trumpo giving them hekk
I’m sure he will adjust on the other hand he can do what he wants and they can cover what they want
The Wall Street Journal always forgets to mention that the ratings for the White House Press Briefings are through the roof (Monday Night Football, Bachelor Finale, according to @nytimes) & is only way for me to escape the Fake News & get my views across. WSJ is Fake News!
This was not one of my favorite Trump tweets. This really isn't about ratings.
Yep.
KISS it. Three main points, take three questions and end it with three firings.
Go pound sand
I watch and listen to every one; but I turn off when Trump leaves
BTW, I’m ready to open businesses...maybe not the hot spots, but elsewhere....Trump knows how to motivate people to follow his advice. People respect him.
Friendly advice from who, Never Trumper RINO Guy Benson?
Disagree...Trump was, is and will always be different...one of the many things they can’t stand about him. He wants to communicate directly with the people, in his own way...and maybe tangle a time or two with the corrupt media. I always get a kick out of the way he handles the pressers because it is almost the antithesis of the way things “are supposed to be” within the DC bubble...keep it up POTUS.
I like Trump, not so much Guy.
I couldn’t agree more. They are WAY too long, too full of mutual admiration, too low on new content.
They should adopt a twice or thrice weekly BRIEFing with key points delivered succinctly. Include a written Executive Summary of the key points, too, so we wouldn’t have to wade through 90 minutes of audio visual crap. Select no more than two or three “reporters” by lottery to ask a question that day with no follow-up or pestering allowed. Give succinct answers, then exit stage left at 30 minutes. I’m sure Trump ran his boardroom meetings like that. The top execs I’ve worked for had little tolerance for unfocused, meandering presentations. A few of those and you were done for.
Trump is using these to replace his big rallies and it isn’t working. He’s getting too much exposure and it is not looking good.
The press doesn't play along, they start the rancor. According to the WSJ, the press is not the problem?
I doubt that Pence should lead these since Pence probably isn't up to pushing back when the press corps comes up with their ugly, slanted questions.
His critics here raise legitimate points, but I think theyre focusing too much on the informative side of this.
He mentioned ratings because the WSJ narrative was that they are no longer watchable. Context!
“This was not one of my favorite Trump tweets. This really isn’t about ratings. “
well, ratings means MANY millions are watching, which means WSJ is full of shit with their call to “clean up” these briefings ...
I want him to move these to outside vs. in that small cramped room.
Fresh air outside now. Change of scenery. Make it shorter. I haven’t watched them for 3 days now. Too long, the press is crazy, I can’t stomach Fauci anymore. Now going forward it will be illegal and crude and rude to shake hands cause he says so.
Ughhhhh....
Trump should always take the advice of the global citizens of the WSJ /sarc
WSJ -Never Trumper a-holes.
Agree. They need to be short, fast, hard-hitting, intolerant of press BS, factual, contextual and devoid of preening before the press by all. Also, he needs to lose Fauci, IMHO.
Trump shouldn’t pay any attention to the WSJ. Who cares what they think. Rag paper anyway.
