The White House press Corps is not made up of stupid people. They are actually evil haters.
I wish Kayleigh and Trump would leave the room abruptly more often when the severe heckling and overtalking starts every single time, but I know Trump wants to appear patient and even-tempered or the next day all the headlines will be, “Trump leaves in a huff during tough questioning! He can’t take pressure!”
So it appears they are mostly stuck tolerating the press jackals.
