President Trump takes questions from reporters at a press briefing in the White House.

Hopefully President trump will make it clear to these news people. If your not respectful, you and your company will be banned and others will be brought in to take your place.
I am sick of hearing these people talk to President Trump with their arrogant tone and hateful agenda
I thought it was a violation of separation of powers when SCOTUS ruled Trump couldn’t revoke WH press credentials in his first term. SCOTUS doesn’t even have cameras in federal courts, why should they tell POTUS whom he must permit to ask him questions? At a minimum, he should have the ability to mute their mikes and shut them down, or talk over them after they ask their questions.
New term, so just do not issue any?
If that fails, simply never call on the jerks.
He should ignore the courts when they try to dictate WH policies. Nobody voted for them.
If any “reporter” starts thinking he’s Dan Rather or a lady Right Reverend preacher, Trump’s press secretary should stand, point and have security frog march them out.
Then their network gets a time-out for as long as deemed necessary.
I’m pretty sure the WH knows this, but the MSM may have to learn that they are guests, not moderators now.
If anyone leaks unauthorized information to the press, that individual receiving information should have all press privileges revoked if they do not reveal their source and followed by revocation of all press privileges for their employer until the employee is fired.
When someone cites a source, Trump will call them out for verification,
They were like that to Reagan too. Arrogant and hateful all the time. Comes with the territory, at least for Republican Presidents.
Know why everyone stands for the judge when he or she enters the courtroom, Steely? They may despise him, but the judge represents the people.
When the MSM disrespects Trump, because they hate him, they are disrespecting the people.
The people are the ultimate repository of power in this country. I expect President trump and his people will continue standing up to these vicious, relentless bullies;
that means, I think, rejecting the notion that taking vituperative abuse from the democrats’ mouthpieces “comes with the territory”.

Yeah, me too, MagillaX. But Trump put those arrogant intellectual yet idiots in their place and fully commanded that press room!
Awesome performance. It's only day three, but I sense the country is already coming back under...
President Donald Trump's MAGAnificent leadership, smarts, and the powerful allies and talent he's lined up behind him to work for We the People.
Oh... and Laz, congratulations on getting the Birthday present you wished for: Trump in the Oval Office!
MAGAnificent leadership. Awesome Trump performance.

Trump does not suffer fools. Solid presser!
Thanks, Liz.
This was perhaps the most extraordinary political performance I ever seen in 6 decades. They should show this to kids in school as part of a new mandated Civics class.
Nice take.
I remember Reagan’s first press conference after he took office and the presstitutes were used to running amok under Carter. They were told there would be a dress code again. No more shouting out of turn. Remain seated. They silently raise their hands and wait to be called on. Order was restored, instantly
Yeah. Trump and Leavitt need to go hard ass on these children and set some ground rules. I know Trump thinks it’s fun to engage in small battles, but it’s not fun for us, and not informative.
I liked it when he said, “Don’t interrupt”. He needs to adopt that attitude throughout.
And why the HELL are the MSM still in the FRONT EFFING ROW? Move them to the back.
“This was perhaps the most extraordinary political performance I ever seen in 6 decades”
I agree. One of the best news conferences with the press ever.
If you remember, there was talk after Trump one of his administration taking control of the WH press room & who gets what access. Today, it’s managed by the “press,” but there is no law around it. Personally, I hope he does it because what are they going to do, trash him some more?
I suspect that revoking press credentials is not mutually exclusive with banishing certain ones of them from his presence.
In other words, despite the ruling, there’s plenty he can do to put them in their place and I believe he will do just that.
